Electromagnetic gradiometry application examples.Gradiometry is a multidisciplinary area that combines theoretical and applied physics, ultra-low noise electronics, precision engineering, and advanced signal processing. Applications include the search for oil, gas, and mineral resources, GPS-free navigation, defence, space missions, and medical research. This book provides readers with a comprehensive introduction, history, potential applications, and current developments in relation to some of the most advanced technologies in the 21st Century.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr. Alexey V Veryaskin, PhD, is the Director and Founder of Trinity Research Labs, an independent R & D laboratory based at the School of Physics of the University of Western Australia (UWA), as well as an Adjunct Professor and a member of the UWA Frequency Standards and Quantum Metrology Group. He has conducted research at institutions all over the world and is the inventor of a new string gravity gradiometer, a direct string magnetic gradiometer technology, and an extremely low frequency interferometric system (ELFISTM), which is a new type of electromagnetic gradiometer that is under development to be used for breast cancer early detection.Title from PDF title page (viewed on March 14, 2018).
