POLE PIECE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027552 titled 'POLE PIECE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a pole piece designed for use in a Halbach-type magnet configuration. The pole piece consists of at least two parts that are connected to each other and can be easily removed. It includes a top iron with a front and rear face, a bottom iron with a front and rear face, and an interstitial shim layer that can be inserted into a shim cavity formed in either the front face of the top iron or the rear face of the bottom iron. The abstract also mentions a method for shimming, which involves modifying the material content of the shim cavity and inserting the pole piece into the central cavity of the Halbach-type magnet configuration to adjust the magnetic field generated.
- The pole piece is designed for use in a Halbach-type magnet configuration.
- It consists of at least two parts that can be connected and removed easily.
- The pole piece includes a top iron, a bottom iron, and an interstitial shim layer.
- The shim layer can be inserted into a shim cavity formed in either the front face of the top iron or the rear face of the bottom iron.
- The method for shimming involves modifying the material content of the shim cavity and inserting the pole piece into the central cavity of the Halbach-type magnet configuration.
- The purpose of shimming is to adjust the magnetic field generated by the magnet configuration.
Potential Applications
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems
- Particle accelerators
- Magnetic separators
- Electric motors and generators
- Magnetic levitation systems
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the process of adjusting the magnetic field in a Halbach-type magnet configuration
- Allows for easy removal and replacement of the pole piece
- Provides a method for precise shimming of the magnetic field
Benefits
- Improved control and precision in adjusting the magnetic field
- Simplified maintenance and replacement of the pole piece
- Enhanced performance and efficiency of devices that utilize Halbach-type magnet configurations
Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed is a pole piece for use in a halbach-type magnet configuration, the pole piece having an elongated body adapted for insertion into the halbach-type magnet configuration and comprising at least two parts operably and removably connected to each other. the at least two parts of the pole piece comprise a top iron having a front face and a rear face, a bottom iron having a front face and a rear face, and an interstitial shim layer adapted to be inserted in a shim cavity defined by a depression formed in at least one of: the front face of the top iron and the rear face of the bottom iron. a method for shimming is also disclosed which includes modifying a material content of the shim cavity and inserting the pole piece into the central cavity of the halbach-type magnet configuration for shimming the magnetic field generated.
