    摘要: In a method/apparatus of the present invention, a plurality or pickup coils are employed at a plurality of detection points so as to measure magnetic field intensities induced from electric current generated on living organ: the detection points are spatially interpolated/extrapolated; equations to determine relations of a hypothetically located current to the magnetic field intensities at the detection points and the interpolated detection points are established; the magnetic field intensities are measured with the pickup coils; magnetic field intensities are estimated at the interpolated/extrapolated detection points from the magnetic field intensities measured by the pickup coils; and the hypothetically located electric current is calculated by applying said magnetic field intensities at the detection points and said interpolated/extrapolated detection points to said equation. Thus, the electric current value is estimated. The calculation is preferably carried out by a SVD method, where the hypothetically located current is placed at plural current source positions. Matrix constants in the SVD calculation is determined in advance to allow a quick calculation. The interpolated/extrapolated point may be determined according to a linear method or a spline method, or depending on the current location, or on the spatial differentiation of the magnetic field intensity, or may be changed with time.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for performing biomagnetic imaging to determine the location and intensity of current sources within a subject includes a sensor unit for sensing the magnetic field within the subject and for providing sensing signals. A signal processor defines a grid having multiple grid points and performs inverse estimation to determine the distribution of current sources on the defined grid based on the sensing signals. The signal processor then modifies the grid to improve the resolution of the current sources distributed on the grid. A control unit controls the operation of the signal processor and processes image data to provide magnified and non-magnified displays on a display unit. The biomagnetic imaging method and apparatus can be combined with a system for providing magnetic resonance imaging data so as to produce a superimposed display including an MRI image and a biomagnetic image.

    摘要: A plurality of SQUID flux sensors are supplied with their respective bias currents at the same time from a bias source. A superconducting multiplexer multiplexes output signals of the SQUID flux sensors during an interval of time when the bias currents are supplied to the SQUID flux sensors. A multiplexer, placed in a room-temperature environment, distributes each of the multiplexed output signals of the SQUID flux sensors to a respective one of the output terminals which correspond to the SQUID flux sensors. Each signal which has been output to an individual output terminal is counted by a counter, so that an external magnetic flux to a corresponding SQUID flux sensor is measured.

    摘要: In a multi-channel SQUID fluxmeter for detecting magnetic flux signals by use of an array of SQUID flux sensors each comprising a digital SQUID for providing a pulse output, multiplexers and the like are appropriately used to allow pulse signals output from the SQUID flux sensors to be switched on a time series basis in order to obtain a magnetic flux signal for each channel. Thus, only one processing circuit need to be provided for a large number of SQUID flux sensors, thus reducing the scale of the fluxmeter and making the device small.

    摘要: Described is an electronic device and an electronic device control method. If voltage generated by the fuel cell, acquired from the voltage detection part, is greater than a specified voltage reference value (VRV), a display part displays the fuel cell as normal. However, if the generated voltage is smaller than the VRV, the residual fuel amount (RFA) detection part detects the RFA. If the RFA is smaller than a specified fuel reference value (FRV), the display part displays that the fuel is insufficient. However, if the RFA is greater than the FRV, the oxidizing agent concentration (OAC) detection part detects the OAC of the fuel cell. If the OAC is smaller than a specified OAC reference value, the display part displays that the oxidizing agent is insufficient. However, if the OAC is greater than the OAC reference value, the display part displays that the fuel cell is abnormal.
