摘要:
A magnetic field detecting circuit for measuring weak magnetic field in a high sensitivity. The circuit has a relaxation oscillator in which a coil (3) and a resistor (2) connected in series with each other are connected in parallel with a Josephson device (1), and of a magnetic field input circuit (4) magnetically coupled with the coil of the oscillator circuit for applying the detected magnetic field into the oscillator circuit, whereby oscillation frequency is shifted corresponding to the detected magnetic field. An optimum design of the magnetic field detecting circuit is achieved independently for a parameter of the relaxation oscillator and a parameter of a receiving circuit respectively, and a multi-channelization of the detecting circuit is achieved easier by the structure.

Boîtier d'interféromètre quantique comprenant une base d'interféromètre quantique (24) constituée de plusieurs couches et un interféromètre quantique (22) monté sur ladite base. La base d'interféromètre quantique est constituée d'une première couche de substrat (30) réalisée dans un matériau électro-isolant, d'une couche de blindage (28) composée d'un matériau qui est supraconducteur à la température de fonctionnement de l'interféromètre quantique et qui recouvre la première couche de substrat, et d'une deuxième couche de substrat (26) formée dans un matériau électro-isolant, qui recouvre la couche de blindage. Ladite couche de blindage protège l'interféromètre quantique des interférences du courant continu et du courant alternatif, telles que les champs magnétiques et électriques, qui sans cette couche de blindage gêneraient son fonctionnement.

Simultaneously to the energization of the resistance fixture, the controller resets the feedback circuit such that the counteracting feedback magnetic flux is deenergized.
摘要:
In a multi-channel SQUID fluxmeter for detecting magnetic flux signals by use of an array of SQUID flux sensors (1) each comprising a digital SQUID for providing a pulse output, multiplexers (4) and the like are appropriately used to allow pulse signals output from the SQUID flux sensors to be switched on a time series basis in order to obtain a magnetic flux signal for each channel. Thus, only one processing circuit (2) need be provided for a large number of SQUID flux sensors, thus reducing the scale of the fluxmeter and making the device small.
摘要:
The invention concerns a pickup coil to measure components of gradients. The coil consists of two pairs of loops connected in series; these pairs are then connected in parallel. The coil so formed has a low inductance, and no shielding currents are induced to superconducting coils in homogeneous magnetic fields. One coil can be employed to measure several field components simultaneously when the coil is coupled to current sensing elements, for example to SQUIDs, so that the current components measured by the sensing elements do not couple magnetically because of the symmetry. This can be accomplished by connecting the said elements between terminals between the loops (5, 6 and 7, 8). The inductance of this coil can be further reduced by subdividing the loops into parts connected in parallel.
摘要:
Output currents from a superconducting quantum interference device (2) which corresponds to magnetic flux guided thereto are compared with a predetermined value which corresponds to a magnetic flux locking point so as to detect a direction of shift with respect to the magnetic flux locking point. A shift quantity is judged to determine whether or not it is large based upon a history of the shift direction. A variation value component of an estimate feedback quantity is varied by taking this history into consideration. The estimate feedback quantity is used to guide magnetic flux for compensating for variation in the magnetic flux which is guided to the superconducting quantum interference device (2).

Output currents from the superconducting quantum interference devices (2) are supplied in added condition. Maximal-sequence codes are modulated by a modulation current corresponding to each device (2), and the modulated maximal-sequence codes are supplied to the modulation coil (2c) of each corresponding superconducting quantum interference device (2), The added output current is demodulated for each device (2) by a maximal-sequence code which is phase shifted by the same quantity as the maximal-sequence code for modulation for each device (2).
