    摘要: A substance identification system is configured to identify at least one detection target faster and with greater accuracy than is possible using prior substance identification systems and/or prior substance identification techniques. A chamber includes a pellet forming area having a predetermined geometry that is configured to maximize a ratio of a pellet surface area to a pellet volume. A magnet is positioned on one side of the chamber and configured to form a pellet of aggregated magnetic particles in the pellet forming area. A laser source is positioned on the same side of the chamber as the magnet and configured to illuminate the pellet, when the pellet is formed in the pellet forming area.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for varying field strength in a magnetic resonance system while keeping a relatively uniform magnetic field distribution. In an embodiment, a two-pole, generally u-shaped magnet assembly generates a static and uniform magnetic field. The magnet assembly includes two facing magnet poles separated by an air gap. Holes may be formed with the magnet poles. The field control rods may be placed at a pre-determined distance into these holes and symmetrically or asymmetrically moved across each magnet poles in a controlled manner to change the magnetic field strength while keeping the uniform magnetic field distribution. Maximum magnetic field strength may occur when the rods are removed. Minimum magnetic field strength may occur when the rods are fully inserted.
