ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,782,479, issued on Nov. 3, was assigned to Oxford Nanoscience Ltd. (Abingdon, Great Britain).

"Superconducting magnet system for generating homogeneous magnetic field" was invented by Andrew Varney (Abingdon, Great Britain).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A magnet system is provided for generating a homogeneous magnetic field in a target region that finds benefit in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), particularly NMR spectroscopy. The magnet system comprises a first magnet having a first solenoid formed from superconductor material and a set of one or more pairs of compensation coils, each said pair being disposed coaxially with...
