Latest Patents
Lyman's latest patent is titled "High sensitivity atomic magnetometer and methods for using same." This invention provides a high sensitivity atomic magnetometer and methods for measuring low intensity magnetic fields. It involves the use of an alkali metal vapor and a buffer gas to increase the magnetic polarization of the alkali metal vapor, thereby enhancing its sensitivity to low intensity magnetic fields. The invention includes probing means that provide an output from the alkali metal vapor, which contains characteristics related to the low intensity magnetic field. Additionally, it features measuring means that receive the output, determine the characteristics of the low intensity magnetic field, and provide a representation of it. The invention also relates to a magnetometer that offers a representation of a first magnetic field originating within a sample volume, which may include part or all of a subject, such as a human. The representation displays the source of the magnetic field occurring within the sample volume in one, two, or three of three orthogonal Cartesian coordinates, referenced to the sample volume.
