✦ Synopsis
of Japan and the Magnetics Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, was held at the Keio Plaza Hotel in Tokyo, Japan, from 14-17 April.
This conference has been held annually from 1963 and the topics included are mainly related to magnetic recordings. This was the second conference to be held in Japan. Altogether there were about 1600 participants, including 400 foreign delegates. This was quite a large conference by Japanese standards.
Although the scope of this conference covered superconducting magnetics, only some 15 or 16 papers were presented in the fields of electric machines and energy storage. The sessions in which superconductivity and cryogenics were included were as follows: DH, Magnetic refrigeration and linear drives; FE, High field magnetics power supplies and others; and GE, Superconducting generator applications of superconductivity.
In session DH, Professor T. Hashimoto reported a new method for producing a magnetic refrigerant suitable for Ericsson magnetic refrigeration. Professor F. Irie, in his invited paper, reviewed the records of high field magnets, the present status of general applied superconductivity and the basic issues for future development in this field. Professor M. Date mentioned the measurements of H c in high T c superconductors in his invited paper entitled 'Generation and application of non-destructive pulsed magnetic field'. Professor R.W. Boom reported the general electric characteristics of superconducting magnetic
