Degauss
Definition:
Example Sentences:
Demagnetize
Definition:
(v. t.) To deprive of magnetic properties. See Magnetize.
(v. t.) To free from mesmeric influence; to demesmerize.
Example Sentences:
(1) The instrument can demagnetize a number of surgical instruments at one time and can provide instantaneous and complete demagnetization.
(2) An operating room demagnetizer that utilized a pulsed, smoothly decaying oscillating magnetic field is described.
(3) The total material (n = 41) was divided in four groups: a) cell cultures submitted to the fields of attracting magnets (n = 11), b) cell cultures in the fields of repelling magnets (n = 10), c) cell cultures under the influence of demagnetized magnets (sham group, n = 11), d) control cultures (n = 9).
(4) The alignment of the permanent magnetic domains in the birds heads was altered by (a) demagnetizing the birds, (b) magnetizing them with a strong magnetic field and (c) exposing the birds to a strong magnetic gradient.
(5) The peptide groups of the polypeptide form planes which are parallel to the polymer helix and the magnetic-field orientation is due to the demagnetizing field produced in the peptide groups perpendicular to their planes by the ring current of the pi electrons.
(6) None of these treatments had a marked effect on the pigeon's orientation or homing under sunny skies, but a few results obtained under overcast skies suggest that demagnetizing the birds may have increased the scatter of their vanishing bearings.
(7) An enhancement to Dixon's technique is described which can provide error-free decomposition of water and fat proton images even in the presence of off-resonance conditions which result from susceptibility differences, demagnetization, or shim errors.
