    Abstract: A coil apparatus for use in a transcranial magnetic stimulation apparatus is provided to further increase an electric field intensity on a head surface. The coil apparatus includes a wound-wire coil disposed on or near a head surface so as to generate a current by an induced electric field through electromagnetic induction in a magnetic stimulation-target region of a brain for stimulating neurons. The wound-wire coil includes a near-head-surface conductive wire portion disposed on or near the head surface, and a far-head-surface conductive wire portion disposed farther from the head surface than the near-head-surface conductive wire portion. A distance between the near-head-surface conductive wire portion and the far-head-surface conductive wire portion is set to be changed so that an intensity of the induced electric field becomes larger than that of a surrounding region of the magnetic stimulation-target region.

    Abstract: A linear vernier motor includes a stator and a mover. The stator extends in a first direction. The mover extends in the first direction and a pole interval is different from that of the stator. At least one of the stator and the mover includes: a plurality of permanent magnets arranged in the first direction and a plurality of yokes arranged in the first direction. Each of the plurality of yokes is arranged between adjacent permanent magnets. The plurality of permanent magnets is magnetized to the first direction and magnetization orientations of adjacent permanent magnets are opposite to each other.

    Abstract: The present invention is a retractor for displacing an organ within the body cavity or the inner wall of a hollow organ, the retractor being provided with: a housing tube; an expansion body which can be housed into and extend from the housing tube; and a grip connected to the proximal ends of the housing tube and the expansion body. The expansion body is provided with: a displacing part configured from a movable wire and multiple fixed wires disposed in the periphery of the moveable wire; and an introduction tube which is disposed along the displacing part and through which the movable wire penetrates. Moreover, when the expansion body is expanded, the displacement part is designed so that, from among the expansion angles formed by two adjacent fixed wires, one expansion angle (θ2) becomes larger than the other expansion angle (θ1).
