Method and apparatus for increasing the detection sensitivity in a high resolution NMR analysis

Enhanced nuclear polarization of a magnetic resonance sample provides greater detection sensitivity over conventional NMR spectroscopy due to a method and an apparatus of increasing the detection sensitivity. Molecules capable of forming photo-excited triplet states are combined in a solution with a NMR sample. While in a uniform magnetic field the solution is frozen, optical radiation is applied to produce photo-excited triplet states molecules and a microwave radiation is applied to stimulate transitions of one of the triplet lines producing dynamic polarization of the nuclei in the magnetic resonance sample. The frozen sample is then rapidly melted and a NMR analysis is performed.

Active mixing by magnetic stirring is demonstrated inside a picoliter-size liquid droplet. Magnetic microspheres are added to the droplet, which form aligned chains under the influence of a homogeneous magnetic field. When the magnetic field is rotated, the chains also rotate synchronously. Viscous interaction between the particle-chains and the liquid induces advective motion inside the droplet thereby enhancing mixing which is otherwise diffusion-limited.

The sensitivity of active and passive field sensors can also be electrically matched by calibrating them in a uniform magnetic field, thus a completely common mode rejection can be achieved.

Tailored mesh susceptors for uniform induction heating, curing and bonding of materials

InactiveUS6043469AImproves Strength and UniformityInduction heating apparatusSusceptorMetallurgy
Mesh susceptors for use in induction heating and bonding processes are tailored to obtain more uniform heating across the susceptor and hence, the bondline, when bonding composite parts. The susceptors are tailored by cutting and removing segments from the mesh areas where the induced current and hence, heat generation, is highest. An algorithm is employed to predict the induced current patterns throughout the mesh so that areas of high heat generation can be identified and then cut and removed. In this way, essentially uniform temperatures in metal mesh susceptors may be achieved by specifically designed cut patterns within the mesh even though the mesh susceptor is subject to non-uniform magnetic fields.
