    摘要: In measuring a number of echo signal, which normally attenuate chronologically, in a single pulse sequence, such as in multi-echo method or a multi-slice method, each echo signal is received and suitably amplified by a reception amplifier having predetermined levels of gain for different time periods during which the successive echo signals are processed such that the echo signals received at a data collection unit are all of substantially the same amplitude regardless of where they appear in the time sequence. The predetermined levels of gains are obtained by false scanning prior to actual image scanning and calculation and storing in a memory. As a result, the echo signals can be received within a dynamic range which is smaller than using the conventional system.

    摘要: This invention enables low voltage operation and improves matching in velocities of the radio frequency and of light by lowering effective index and to thereby expand modulation frequency bandwidth by structuring an optical modulator where a substrate of the material of which refractive index changes by an application of electric field description, and the insulating buffer layers are eliminated from the regions other than the electrodes. By structuring the modulator in a manner to satisfy the prescribed conditions with dimensions of each unit, the light can be matched in complete phase matching (group velocity matching) with radio frequency while characteristic impedance of the electrodes is fixed at a desired value.

    摘要: An object which can provide a reference for measuring the intensity of a primary magnetic field, is positioned in the vicinity of a subject being examined. A variation in the primary magnetic field intensity is detected, based on a frequency shift of data observed of the object, and is used to control the primary magnetic field intensity, or reference frequency for phase detection, or to correct image data. In this manner image quality is prevented from being degraded due to the variation of the primary magnetic field intensity.

    摘要: A needle-shaped terminal, i.e., a probe tip, is brought into extremely close proximity with an object being measured. This probe tip is formed from an optically active material and in itself is electrically non-conductive, so that it has no electrical influence whatsoever on the object being measured. When optical pulses are beamed onto this probe tip, the probe tip becomes an electric conductor and a current flows between it and the object being measured, so that the electric potential of the object can be measured. This facilitates previously impossible measurements of high-speed electric waveforms. It also facilitates high spatial resolution monitoring and control of probe tip position and characterization of measurement sites, and enables highly reliable measurements to be made inexpensively.

    摘要: In order to accurately measure time interval Tx from time t.sub.j to time t.sub.k, the pulse widths of a start interpolation pulse and a stop interpolation pulse must be measured accurately. The invention uses two time-to-voltage converters, one for the start interpolation pulse and the other for the stop interpolation pulse, to convert these pulses to corresponding voltage signals to thereby measure the pulse widths. These converters each comprises a high speed circuit which comprises a current switch, a capacitor, a constant current source and a diode. Advantageously, even though the start and stop interpolation pulses occur close to each other, the pulses can be measured accurately. Also, even though the pulses occur at short intervals, the time interval Tx can be measured accurately.

    摘要: A coil arrangement for producing a static magnetic field comprising a central coil and two outer coils disposed on opposite sides of the central coil. The positions and dimensions of the coils are so selected that each term contained in the Taylor series of the function of the magnetic field in the axial direction (z axis) of the coil arrangement in minimized. The current density in the central portion of the central coil is made to be higher than at other portions. The inventive coil arrangement is smaller in size, lighter in weight, and consumers a smaller amount of power than the prior art for the same magnetic strength and with a better homogeneous magnetic field.

    摘要: In an examination method and apparatus utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance, high frequency pulses for producing nuclear magnetic resonance are applied by successively imposing a first 90.degree. pulse, a first 180.degree. pulse, a second 90.degree. pulse, and a second 180.degree. pulse substantially immediately after the second 90.degree. pulse, and a next pulse sequence is initiated upon elapse of a wait time after the second 180.degree. pulse has been applied. The wait time is rendered much shorter than the conventional prior art wait times for high speed scanning operation, by forcibly aligning magnetization M first with the direction of a -Z direction axis and then with the direction of a +Z direction axis, using the second 90.degree. pulse and the second 180.degree. pulse. By applying a number of first 180.degree. pulses, a number of nuclear magentic resonance signals are produced for additionally shortening the overall measurement time.
