Patent US 6,690,168

There is disclosed a method and apparatus for sensing and generating images of objects including first sensor probe means sensitive to Coriolis forces for detecting first magnetic phenomena and for generating first signals in response thereto, second sensor probe means sensitive to Lorentz forces for detecting second magnetic phenomena and for generating second signals in response thereto and data processing means coupled to receive said first and second signals for analyzing said signals, correlating said signals and for deriving useful information from said signals. The method includes the steps of scanning an object with specially configured sensor probes for separating commingled magnetic fields into their spin two quadrupole tensor field energies, scanning the object with specially configured sensor probes for separating commingled magnetic fields into their spin one dipole vector field energies, detecting the separated field energies, processing the detected field energies to isolate signals representative of unique properties of the object and displaying a presentation that corresponds to and is representative of the unique properties detected by the scan.
