Abstract:
Provided are a low-temperature cooling apparatus and a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensor module. The low-temperature cooling apparatus includes an outer container; an inner container disposed inside the outer container, the inner container including a neck portion having a first diameter and a body portion having a second diameter greater than the first diameter; an insert inserted into the neck portion of the inner container; and a plurality of SQUID sensor modules inserted into the body portion of the inner container. Each of the SQUID sensor modules is in the form of a fan-shaped pillar and is fixedly coupled with an inner bottom plate of the inner container.
Abstract:
Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensor module and a magnetoencephalography (MEG) measuring apparatus. The SQUID sensor module includes a fixed block having one end fixed to the sensor-mounted helmet, a bobbin having one end combined with the other end of the fixed block and having a groove in which a pick-up coil is wound, a bobbin fixing or attachment structure or material fixed to the other end of the fixed block via a through-hole formed in the center of the bobbin, a SQUID printed circuit board (PCB) disposed one an upper side surface of the bobbin and including a SQUID sensor, and a signal line connection PCB inserted into an outer circumferential surface of the fixed block and adapted to transmit a signal detected in the SQUID sensor to an external circuit.
Abstract:
Provided are an object discrimination method and an object discrimination apparatus using an ultra-low magnetic field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The method includes measuring the respective spin-lattice relaxation times at a plurality of strengths of prepolarization magnetic fields with respect to a measurement target and classifying the measurement target using the spin-lattice relaxation times.
