Abstract:
Generally, a system for generating a magnetic field having a desired magnetic field strength and/or a desired magnetic field direction is provided. The system can include a plurality of magnetic segments and/or a plurality of ferromagnetic segments. Each magnetic segment can be positioned adjacent to at least one of the plurality of magnetic segments. Each ferromagnetic segment can be positioned adjacent to at least one of the plurality of magnetic segments. In various embodiments, a size, shape, positioning and/or number of magnetic segments and/or ferromagnetic segments in the system, as well as a magnetization direction of the magnetic segments can be predetermined based on, for example, predetermined parameters of the system (e.g., a desired magnetic field strength, direction and/or uniformity of the magnetic field, a desired elimination of a magnetic fringe field and/or total weight of the system) and/or based on a desired application of the system (e.g., performing a magnetic resonance imaging of at least a portion of a patient and/or performing a magnetic resonance spectroscopy of a sample).

A magnetic resonance device for monitoring growth of tissue in one or more bioreactors. The device can include a first magnet and a second magnet that can form a uniform magnetic field of desired strength around at least one sample of effluent from at least one bioreactor. At the command of a controller, an RF signal can illuminate the at least one magnetized sample, and sensors can detect at least one echo signal from the at least one magnetized sample. The controller can characterize the at least one sample based on the at least one echo signal. A resonator can shape the at least one echo signal.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for a clothing article including a first fabric having a first set of threads coupled to one another, wherein each thread in the first set of threads includes a metal compound with electropermanent magnet properties. Additionally, a second fabric may be coupled to the first fabric, wherein the second fabric includes a second set of threads having the metal compound with electropermanent magnet properties. In one example, electrical current may be applied to one or more target threads, wherein the electrical current may initiate a slide of the first fabric across the second fabric and/or initiate creation of a fold among the target threads.

A permanent magnetic mask chuck is described herein. The permanent magnetic mask chuck includes a body with a plurality of permanent magnets positioned therein. The permanent magnets can then deliver a magnetic force to a mask to position and hold the mask over or on the substrate for further deposition.
Abstract:
The Electro-Magnetic Flux Valve (EMFV) is an electrically actuated permanent magnet field flux shunt comprised of a low reluctance ferromagnetic core, surrounding a permanent magnet, with at least two imbedded control element sections by which the permeance of the core can be reduced. When placed within an external closed magnetic circuit, the EMFV core, at quiescence, acts as a keeper to the magnetic flux of the magnet. When electrically activated, the EMFV core permeance is reduced and the permanent magnet flux is released to energize the external magnetic circuit. When the control signal is removed the EMFV core again becomes highly permeable and constrains the permanent magnet flux thus deenergizing the external magnetic circuit. The EMFV is intended to be an integral part of a Magnetic Power Converter.
Abstract:
An electrical connector is applied on a module mobile device with a frame and includes a magnetic element and a plurality of conductive terminals assembled into the magnetic element. Each conductive terminal defines a contacting portion exposed upwardly outside of the magnetic element and a soldering portion extending downwardly outside of the magnetic element.
Abstract:
A card connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1), a number of terminals (2) affixed in the insulative housing, a shielding shell (4) attached to the insulative housing to form a cavity (11), a tray (3) insertable in the cavity; and an EPM (5) affixed in the insulative housing. The tray is attracted by the EPM under a first current in one direction during tray-insertion and released by the EPM under a second current in opposite direction during tray-ejection.
Abstract:
A clamp assembly comprises a first clamp including a plurality of magnet devices. Each magnet device includes a permanent magnet and a coil surrounding the permanent magnet. The clamp assembly further comprises a controller for pulsing the coils to selectively magnetize and demagnetize the permanent magnets.
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a system for external manipulation of magnetic nanoparticles in vasculature using a remotely placed magnetic field-generating stator. In one embodiment, the systems and methods relate to the control of magnetic nanoparticles in a fluid medium using permanent magnet-based or electromagnetic field-generating stator sources. Such a system can be useful for increasing the diffusion of therapeutic agents in a fluid medium, such as a human circulatory system, which can result in substantial clearance of fluid obstructions, such as vascular occlusions, in a circulatory system resulting in increased blood flow. Magnetic nanoparticles are provided having a non-specialized chemical coating facilitating association with a chemical composition by a user before infusion. Systems are provided for delivering a consistent infusion mass of magnetic nanoparticles to a patient.
