    摘要: An open-type MRI apparatus includes a pair of static magnetic field magnets and a pair of gradient magnetic field coils. Each static magnetic field magnet includes a discoid magnetic pole configured to generate a static magnetic field in a Z axis direction in which the pair of static magnetic field magnets are opposed each other, and an annular magnetic pole configured to generate a static magnetic field on an X-Y plane perpendicular to the Z axis direction. Each gradient magnetic field coil includes a Z coil configured to provide a magnetic field being gradient in the Z axis direction in the imaging region, a magnetic material block configured to shield the discoid magnetic pole from a magnetic flux generated from the Z coil, and a correction coil configured to shield the annular magnetic pole from the magnetic flux generated from the Z coil.

    摘要: The superconducting magnet device reduces the number of connections within and/or the number of wires leading out of a superconducting coil winding and promptly starts expending the magnetic energy in a superconducting coil operating in a persistent-current mode when the superconducting coil increases in temperature or transitions to normal conductivity. This invention provides a superconducting magnet device that has the following: a superconducting coil connected to an excitation power supply; a persistent-current switch connected to the superconducting coil; a heater that controls the temperature of the persistent-current switch; a current source that is connected in parallel with the persistent-current switch and has a different polarity from the excitation power supply; a driving circuit connected to the heater and the current source; and a signal-inputting means for inputting a signal to the driving circuit. The driving circuit operates the heater and the current source when the signal is inputted thereto.

    摘要: This superconducting magnet includes: a superconducting coil that is formed by winding a first superconducting wire rod; a second superconducting wire rod, which is disposed by being thermally in contact with and electrically insulated from the superconducting coil, and which has a superconducting transition temperature that is lower than that of the first superconducting wire rod; voltage terminals that are disposed at a plurality of areas of the second superconducting wire rod; a voltmeter connected to the voltage terminals; and a switch circuit connected to the voltmeter. The switch circuit interrupts a current when receiving an output from the voltmeter, the current being one that is to be supplied to the superconducting coil.

    摘要: An alternating current loss measuring apparatus for superconductors includes a superconductor specimen, a magnetic field applying coil, a radiation shield, a vacuum vessel, first cooling means, and second cooling means. The first cooling means or the second cooling means is provided with a temperature regulating mechanism. The magnetic field applying means and the radiation shield are set to be a first cooling part, whereas the superconductor specimen is set to be a second cooling part, and the first cooling part and the second cooling part are cooled by first and second cooling means, respectively. A high thermal resistance member is disposed between the superconductor specimen and the second cooling means, and temperature measuring means are disposed at at least two positions on the high thermal resistance member. The alternating current loss of a superconductor under an external magnetic field can be measured at each of different temperatures.
