Within the scope of the invention, a gyrator for AC signals has been developed. Said gyrator comprises a Hall effect material, means for passing a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane or surface of said Hall effect material through said Hall effect material, at least one input gate for coupling an alternating current (I1; I2) into the Hall effect material and at least one output gate for coupling out an output voltage (U2; U1), which is a measure of the Hall voltage generated by the coupled-in alternating current. Each of these gates has at least two connections which are connected to the outside world. In accordance with the invention, at least one connection of each gate is connected to a connection electrode, which is electrically insulated by the Hall effect material and forms a capacitor with the Hall effect material. The alternating current is therefore coupled into the Hall effect material capacitively, and the output voltage is coupled out of the Hall effect material capacitively. The capacitive coupling of the connection electrodes presets boundary conditions for the potential in the interior of the Hall effect material which do not necessarily bring about sudden changes in potential. The occurrence of "not spots" at which energy is dissipated in the region of sudden changes in potential can thus advantageously be reduced or even completely suppressed.

Abrégé
The method for performing magnetic resonance measurements on a sample according to the present invention, in which a first predetermined number of pulse trains each comprising a second predetermined number of pulses spaced by a predetermined time interval (Δt) are applied for excitation each having a constant amplitude, is characterized in that the pulse trains are modulated by a bent function, wherein after each pulse data is sampled. Preferably a square number m2 of pulses is generated being constant in power, and the Walsh transform of the sequence of their phases is constant in power, too. This means that the power of the excitation in time and frequency domain is constant. The method according to the invention allows the reduction of battery capacity for mobile NMR applications and to undercut SAR values due to the small excitation power necessary to create time signals 5 with reasonable signal to noise ratio.

METHOD FOR TOMOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTION OF A MEASUREMENT VARIABLE BY SPECIFIC DETERMINATION OF THE MEASUREMENT POINTS
The invention relates to a method for the tomographic reconstruction of the distribution of a measurement variable within a sample from values of an auxiliary variable, a method for determining the optimum measurement points for the auxiliary variable, as well as apparatuses for carrying out the methods.

Relevance measures can, for example, measure how strongly the value of the auxiliary variable measured at the assessed location reacts to changes in the measurement variable, how large the resolveable structures in the reconstructed distribution of the measurement variable are which are changed in the event of a change in the value of the auxiliary variable measured at the assessed point, or how much information about the overall distribution of the measurement variable is contained in the value of the auxiliary variable measured at the assessed point. It is thus possible to obtain better information, from far fewer recorded values of the auxiliary variable, about the distribution of the measurement variable in the sample than according to the prior art.
