Abstract: To facilitate a change in the number and layout of magnetic field detection devices to be arranged in an array. A magnetic field detection device includes a cancel coil wound around a bobbin, a cover member fixed to the bobbin and covering the cancel coil in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the cancel coil, and magnetic sensors fixed to the bobbin or cover member. The cover member has side surfaces and extending in the z-direction and positioned on mutually opposite sides. The side surfaces have first and second engagement portions, respectively, and the first engagement portion has a shape engageable with the shape of the second engagement portion. This makes it possible to arrange a desired number of the magnetic field detection devices.

Abstract: To reduce the number of components and simplify the circuit configuration in a magnetic field detection device capable of detecting a weak magnetic field without using a shield room. A magnetic field detection device includes a cancel coil wound around a winding core part of a bobbin, magnetic sensors fixed to mutually different positions of the bobbin, and a feedback circuit that makes a cancel current flow in the cancel coil according to an output signal from the magnetic sensor to cancel the environmental magnetic field in a cancel space. Since the cancel coil is used in common for the magnetic sensors, it is possible to reduce the number of components to be used and to simplify the circuit configuration.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor includes a sensor chip 30 including an element-forming surface 31 provided with a magnetism detection elements MR1-MR4, a magnetic member 40 including a first side surface 41 facing the element-forming surface 31, and a circuit board 20 including a mounting surface 21 on which the sensor chip 30 and the magnetic member 40 are mounted. The sensor chip 30 and the magnetic member 40 are mounted on the circuit board such that the element-forming surface 31 and the first side surface 41 are substantially orthogonal to the mounting surface 21 of the circuit board 20. Because the sensor chip 30 and the magnetic member 40 are mounted on the circuit board 20 in a horizontal state, the magnetic member 40 can be supported in a stable manner even when the length of the magnetic member 40 is large.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a biomagnetism measuring device capable of accurately detecting biomagnetism regardless of the object to be measured. This biomagnetism measuring device (1) is provided with: a plurality of magnetic sensors (11) which detect biomagnetism of a living body (100); a retaining portion (12) including retaining holes (12a) which retain the plurality of magnetic sensors (11) with freedom to move individually; and a movement mechanism which moves the magnetic sensors (11) individually in a contacting/separating direction causing the magnetic sensors (11) to come into contact with or separate from the living body (100). As movement mechanisms there may be mentioned, for example, a pneumatic/hydraulic mechanism (20), a resilient body mechanism (30), a screw mechanism (40) and a gear mechanism (50).
