In this paper, I propose the algorithm that the location of a magnetic dipole can be detected from the magnetic gradient tensor. I induce the location vector of a vertically magnetizated dipole from the magnetic gradient tensor. Deficit of magnetic moment of magnetic dipole makes the induced location information incomplete. However, if the observation of magnetic gradient tensor would be collected on more points, the algorithm is able to catch the location of the magnetic dipole by clustering the solution of the proposed algorithm. For example, I show that the synthetic case of borehole observation of magnetic gradient tensor can find the source location successively by picking common solution area.

The scan type magnetic camera is proposed to improve the limited spatial resolution due to the size of the packaged magnetic sensor. An image of the scan type magnetic camera, ${\partial}B/{\partial}x$ image, is useful for extracting the crack information of a specimen under a large inclined mag netic field distribution due to the poles of magnetizer. The ${\partial}B/{\partial}x$ images of the cracks of different shapes and sizes are calculated by using the improved dipole model proposed in this paper. The improved dipole model uses small divided dipole models, the rotation and relocation of each dipole model and the principle of superposition. Also for a low carbon steel specimen, the experimental results of nondestructive testing obtained by using multiple cracks are compared with the modeling results to verify the effectiveness of ${\partial}B/{\partial}x$ modeling. The improved dipole model can be used to simulate the LMF and ${\partial}B/{\partial}x$ image of a specimen with complex cracks, and to evaluate the cracks quantitatively using magnetic flux leakage testing.

With biological effects by ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic field generated from power system, the transient magnetic field from electric appliances is a major issue presently. Because the transient magnetic field induces higher current than the power frequency field inside living bodies, transient magnetic field exposure has been much focused. In this paper, it is shown that transient magnetic field from electric home appliances can be characterized as magnetic dipole moment. In this method, the dipole moment vector is assumed by allowing an uncertainty of 6dB in the estimated field. A parameter M that represents biological interaction was applied also. The proposed method was applied to 7 types of appliances (hair drier, heater, VDT, etc.) and their equivalent magnetic dipole moment and harmonic components were estimated. As the results, the useful data for quantifying magnetic field distribution around electric appliances were obtained.

Magnetic torquer, which uses torque between magnetic dipole moment and earth magnetic field, has been used to control attitude of satellites. In this work, we developed a magnetic torquer for small scientific satellite and test under environmental conditions of the satellite launching and orbital motion have been carried out. The developed magnetic torquer shows saturation magnetic dipole moment of $15Am^2$, linearity of 0.3 % in the range of ${\pm}12Am^2$, mass of 0.46 kg, and power consumption of 1 Watt at magnetic dipole moment of $10Am^2$.

The horizontal magnetic dipole as well as electrical dipole was adopted as a source to compute one-dimensional electromagnetic field behavior in controlled source magnetotellurics. he Cagniard impedances due to horizontal magnetic dipole source, especially phases, showed better frequency characteristics than those due to electric one. The magnetic dipole is inferior to the electric dipole in the point of relatively weak transmitting power at low frequency. But considering high resistivity charateristics of Korean geology, the magnetic dipole source is recommended for the survey up to depth of 500 m. A vector CSMT was introduced to get more reliable data in the area of two- or three-dimensional structures. A software and interpretation technique using polarization ellipses were developed. The technique was tested by synthetic data, which provided theoretical basis of the methodology. Although CSMT has inevitable limitation of investigation depth due to practically possible source-receiver separation, we proposed to use the technique developed in this paper where MT is not available, for example, in extremely noisy area or for shallow target.

The attitude information of spacecraft can be obtained by the sensors attached to it using a star tracker, three-axis magnetometer, three-axis gyroscope, and a global positioning signal receiver. By using these sensors, the spacecraft can be maneuvered by actuators that generate torques. In particular, electromagnetic-torque bars can be used for attitude control and as a momentum-canceling instrument. The spacecraft momentum can be created by the current through the electrical circuits and coils. Thus, the current around the electromagnetic-torque bars is a critical factor for precisely controlling the spacecraft. In connection with these concerns, a solar-cell array can be considered to prevent generation of a magnetic dipole moment because the solar-cell array can introduce a large amount of current through the electrical wires. The maximum value of a magnetic dipole moment that cannot affect precise control is $0.25A{\cdot}m^2$, which takes into account the current that flows through the reaction-wheel assembly and the magnetic-torque current. In this study, we designed a 300-W solar cell array and presented an optimal wire-routing method to minimize the magnetic dipole moment for space applications. We verified our proposed method by simulation.

This paper describes the mathematical modeling method for the static magnetic field signature generated by a magnetic scale model. we proposed the equivalent dipole modeling method utilizing a singular value decomposition technique from magnetic field signatures by magnetic sensors are located special depths below the scale model. The proposed dipole modeling method was successfully verified through comparisons with the real measured values in our non-magnetic laboratory. Using the proposed method, it is possible to predict and analyze static magnetic field distributions at any difference depths generated from the real ships as well as a scale model ship.

With biological effects by ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic field generated from power system, the transient magnetic field from electric appliances is a major issue presently. In this paper, we measured magnetic field distributions around electric appliances in view of harmonics and analyzed them by the use of an equivalent magnetic dipole moment method. This method was applied to 19 types of appliances, and their equivalent magnetic dipole moments and harmonic components were determined. The results show that this method is applicable to many appliances and the higher frequency magnetic field may induce higher current inside living bodies.

The remote sensing technique of measuring the magnetic field was applied first to sunspots by Hale (1908). Later Babcock (1961) showed that the solar surface magnetic field on a global scale is a dipole in first-order approximation and that this dipole field reverses once every solar cycle. The Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO) supplies the spherical harmonics coefficients of the solar corona magnetic field of each Carrington Rotation, calculated based on the remotely-sensed photospheric magnetic field of the solar surface. To infer the internal current system producing the global solar coronal magnetic field structure and evolution of the Sun, we calculate the multipole components of the solar magnetic field using the WSO data from 1976 to 2019. The prominent cycle components over the last 4 solar activity cycles are axis-symmetric fields of the dipole and octupole. This implies that the current inversion driving the solar magnetic field reversal originates from the equatorial region and spreads to the whole globe. Thus, a more accurate solar dynamo model must include an explanation of the origin and evolution of such solar internal current dynamics.

A SQUID magnetometer or a SQUID gradiometer can be used to measure the field or gradient distribution, respectively. We describe the magnetic dipole model of the eddy currents in a nondestructive evaluation. Such a theoretical calculation of the magnetic dipole fields produced by a deep flaw in metallic materials can be used in aerospace and transportation industries.
