ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,480,911, issued on Nov. 25, was assigned to MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC Corp. (Tokyo).

"Vibrating sample magnetometer and measurement method of magnetic property" was invented by Norihisa Matsumoto (Tokyo).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A magnetic property acquisition unit detects an induced voltage caused by vibration of a measurement sample magnetized by an excitation electromagnet and acquires a magnetic property that indicates a relationship between a magnetic flux density and an external magnetic field. The magnetic flux density is a sum of magnetization of the measurement sample and the external magnetic field. When acquiring the magnetic p...
