Abstract:
A DDS (direct digital synthesizer) remarkably increased in the number of frequencies which can be output while maintaining the phase coherency, and an NMR instrument using such a DDS are provided. A DDS including phase accumulators and a phase-to-amplitude modulator is provided with a plurality of phase accumulators operating with fixed phase implements which are equal to powers of 2, a controller for outputting each bit of a frequency tuning word as control data, a plurality of switches for outputting an output of an associated one of the phase accumulators when an associated one of the control data supplied from the controller is 1 and outputting 0 when the associated one of the control data is 0, and an adder for adding up outputs of the switches.

Abstract:
The invention reduces a flow of a heat making an intrusion into an NMR probe, and uniformizes a spatial temperature generated in a sample pipe. A temperature modulated gas is supplied to a thermal anchor temperature modulated gas flow path constituted by a sample pipe insertion port around a sample pipe, and sample pipe insertion port structure bodies. A part of the temperature modulated gas is divided into a thermal anchor temperature modulated gas flow path by a temperature modulated gas division hole, and flows toward a thermal anchor. The thermal anchor is constituted by a porous member having a hole through which a gas can pass, and comes to the same temperature as the temperature modulated gas on the basis of a heat exchange with the temperature modulated gas. Further, since the thermal anchor is provided in a path of a heat flow making an intrusion into the sample pipe from an external portion, it is possible to absorb the heat intruding from the external portion by the temperature modulated gas passing through the thermal anchor, and it is possible to stably keep the temperature of the sample pipe.

There is provided a superconducting magnet including a superconducting coil, in which the superconducting coil includes: a bobbin; one or more superconducting wires wound around the bobbin in a plurality of turns, each superconducting wire being one or more superconducting filaments embedded in a matrix; and one or more metallic members, each metallic member being in electrical and thermal contact with a plurality of portions of the one or more superconducting wires.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition or a method for treating or preventing irritable bowel syndrome. The present invention uses Atractylodes japonica rhizome extract, preferably the ethanol water solution extract of Atractylodes japonica rhizome, more preferably the 35-65 v/v % ethanol water solution extract of Atractylodes japonica rhizome for treating or preventing irritable bowel syndrome. Atractylodes japonica rhizome extract shows a surprising effect in suppressing visceral hypersensitivity or improving defecation abnormality caused by stress or bowel irritability.
