ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,422,508, issued on Sept. 23, was assigned to JEOL LTD. (Tokyo).

"Sliding band capacitor inductive coupling in a low temperature nuclear magnetic resonance probe and methods of use" was invented by Albert Zens (Peabody, Mass.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In various embodiments of the invention, a cooled nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe can utilize a sliding band capacitor which can be moved relative to a parent coil inner conductance tapered skirt to adjust the frequency of the parent coil to allow the parent coil to detect the resonance of at least two nuclei without requiring leads between the parent coil and a lock coil.
