摘要:
Improved loop-gap resonators applicable to Electron-Spin Resonance spectroscopy and to quantum computing employ interdigitated capacitor structures to dramatically increase the capacitance of the resonator, along with corresponding decreases in loop size to enable measurements of small-volume samples or individual quantum bits (qubits). The interdigitated-capacitor structures are designed to minimize parasitic inductance.
摘要:
A passive apparatus including a plurality of resonators increases signal-to-noise ratio of radiofrequency signals emitted by a specimen and captured by an MRI machine. The apparatus increases the magnetic field component of radiofrequency energy during signal transmission from the MRI machine to the specimen, and/or reception of signals from the specimen to the MRI machine. Moreover, the apparatus enhances specimen safety by substantially avoiding unwanted generation of an electric field, or an increase in the electric field component of the RF energy. Use of the apparatus improves the images generated by the MRI machine, and/or reduces the time necessary for the MRI machine to capture the image.

A method and an apparatus serve the purpose of determining the fat or oil content of a sample. The sample is dried under the action of a microwave field and is examined under the action of a radio-frequency signal and of a constant magnetic field by means of nuclear magnetic resonance.

The apparatus has a microwave source for drying the sample, a magnetic system for generating a nuclear magnetic resonance magnetic field in the sample, and a nuclear magnetic resonance measuring arrangement for irradiating radio-frequency signals into the sample and for receiving excited nuclear magnetic resonance signals from the sample. The microwave source, the magnetic system and the nuclear magnetic resonance measuring arrangement are connected to a common measuring chamber in which the sample is located.

A loop-gap resonator for providing an excitation pulse in a down hole nuclear magnetic resonating (NMR) tool for determining a parameter of interest in a formation adjacent a borehole. The loop-gap resonator is constructed having one or more capacitive gaps formed in a nonmagnetic conductive loop. The loop-gap resonator may be deployed down a bore in a measurement while drilling (MWD) configuration or in a wire line configuration. The MWD configuration may utilize a non-rotating sleeve rotationally associated with the drill string.
摘要:
A resonator structure including a first resonator having a first resonator loop formed by a hollow channel with conductive walls and a second resonator having a second resonator loop formed by a hollow channel with conductive walls. The first resonator loop and the second resonator loop intersect so that the first and second resonator loops are substantially shielded to prevent coupling of high frequency energy between the first and second resonator loops. A sample is placed in a space defined by the intersection of the first and second resonator loops. High frequency energy is applied to the first resonator. The angle at which the second resonator loop intersects the first resonator loop is selected to substantially decouple the first resonator from the second resonator. A detector circuit detects the high frequency energy in the second resonator loop and supplies the detected signal for subsequent analysis.
