    摘要: On the basis of a finding that a magnetic hysteresis of a metal material, among magnetization characteristics changing with secular degradation of the metal material, shows a clear correspondence with the degree of degradation of the metal material, a change in such a magnetization characteristic is measured to estimate the degree of secular degradation of the metal material. In a typical embodiment, a superconducting quantum interference device (33; 340) is used to detect the magnetization characteristic of a measuring object (1; 11). According to the present invention, the degree of embrittlement of a metal material used in an environment of high tempera­tures can be quickly detected in a non-destructive fashion so that the danger of brittle fracture of the metal material can be reliably prevented.

    摘要: A device for use as an analog-to-digital converter or a digital magnetometer using a double-junction superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and having an extremely fine sensitivity, but a large dynamic range and the ability to handle rapid signal slew rates. The SQUID receives a composite signal, including the analog signal, a correction signal, and a high-frequency dither signal, the latter being selected to produce two output pulses from the SQUID when operated at a quiescent operating point. Departure from the operating point is detected by monitoring the SQUID output pulses and controlling a feedback register to record the degree of movement from the operating point. The feedback register provides the less significant bits of digital output from the converter. The value stored in the feedback register is also converted to analog form and fed back to the SQUID as the correction signal, thereby locking the device onto the desired operating point. Rapid or slow movement equivalent to more than one flux quantum is also detected in the device, and is recorded in an integer register, which provides the more significant bits of the digital output.

    摘要: A SQUID bias current adjustment device (AC SUPPLY) supplies a sinusoidal current at 40 kHz, for example, to a coil (12) to generate magnetic field at a SQUID (10). The amplitude of the field corresponds to a half period of a field-voltage characteristic. Voltage generated from the SQUID at this time is filtered by using a filter (14) to pick out components of 40 kHz and 80 kHz. The picked out signal components are rectified and converted to direct current, and the bias current is adjusted such that the maximum value is obtained. In this way, a SQUID bias current adjustment device can be provided capable of automatically adjusting bias current properly in a short period of time.

    摘要: SQUID control apparatus for controlling multiple SQUID probes (102) includes a plurality of head units (104) each corresponding to a respective SQUID probe, each of the head units including a non-cryogenic modulated flux-locked loop feedback circuit operating at a respective modulation frequency. The apparatus also includes a base unit (112) coupled to all of the head units, the base unit providing control signals to control the multiple head units. Means are also provided, such as through the use of a daisy chain topology, for synchronizing the modulation frequency of all of the modulated flux-locked loop feedback circuits. The head units may also contain a phase shifter coupled to phase shift the modulation frequency oscillator signal for provision to the local oscillator input of a demodulator, and the phase shifter may include a shifting filter for filtering the oscillator signal to reduce all frequency components except a fundamental frequency component by a desired amount, and shaping means for shaping the filtered and shifted signal into a square wave.
