Abstract:
A flux directed magnet and a method of manufacturing a flux-directed magnet in a reduced number of process steps is described and claimed. The present invention is, in an embodiment, a single-step manufacturing of flux directed magnet assemblies such as, but not limited to, Halbach arrays of arbitrary multipole order. Even tube-shaped flux directed magnet assemblies such as Halbach arrays with large aspect ratio, i.e. length to diameter, can be produced in single steps using the method of the invention. Alternatively, the present invention may be one step of a plurality of steps in a process for manufacturing of flux directed magnet assemblies.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for removing plaque from blood vessels by applying constant or time varying magnetic or electrical fields. In one embodiment a system includes winding configurations positioned about a central axis along which a body region may be placed. Each winding configuration generates a magnetic field in a direction which passes through the body region. A first winding configuration generates a first magnetic field component perpendicular to a second magnetic field component generated by a second winding configuration. In a related method for removing a deposit of plaque from a position along a wall of a blood vessel a magnetic field is applied which has a net direction predominantly orthogonal to the direction of the flow of blood through the vessel.
