Using a device called a Josephson junction, a SQUID can detect a change of energy as much as 100 billion times weaker than the electromagnetic energy that moves a compass needle. A Josephson junction is made up of two superconductors, separated by an insulating layer so thin that electrons can pass through. A SQUID consists of tiny loops of superconductors employing Josephson junctions to achieve superposition : each electron moves simultaneously in both directions. Because the current is moving in two opposite directions, the electrons have the ability to perform as qubits(that theoretically could be used to enable quantum computing). SQUIDs have been used for a variety of testing purposes that demand extreme sensitivity, including engineering, medical, and geological equipment. Because they measure changes in a magnetic field with such sensitivity, they do not have to come in contact with a system that they are testing. 3, record 1, English, - superconducting%20quantum%20interference%20device

Le magnétomètre à SQUID est un détecteur de champ magnétique très sensible et il s'impose depuis sa découverte comme le magnétomètre le plus sensible actuellement disponible. Il est basé sur un détecteur supraconducteur qui est nommé «SQUID» (superconducting quantum interference device : détecteur supraconducteur à interférence quantique). Il s'agit d'un anneau supraconducteur avec une ou deux zones normales de faibles épaisseur. Le principe de fonctionnement est basé sur l'effet tunnel des porteurs du courant supraconducteur (l'effet Josephson) soumis à un champ magnétique à travers ces zones normales (dites jonctions normales ou liaisons faibles). Cet anneau est un instrument très sensible pour la détection de très faibles changements de flux magnétiques. Il est possible de mesurer avec cet appareil des champs magnétiques d'une grandeur de 10e-10 Œrsted en utilisant des bobines de détection de taille macroscopique. 4, record 1, French, - dispositif%20supraconducteur%20%C3%A0%20interf%C3%A9rence%20quantique

The gyrosyn compass combines the functions of both the directional gyro and the magnetic compass. It provides stable compass headings in rough air, is north seeking like a magnetic compass, but is free from northerly turning error and oscillation. It does not precess and, therefore, does not require resetting as does the directional gyro. The gyrosyn compass system incorporates a flux valve that senses the earth's magnetic lines of force through electromagnetic induction. 6, record 3, English, - gyromagnetic%20compass

Notice that there is no knob to set the heading of the DG [directional gyro] to match that of the compass. Why? Because it is slaved. Slaved? Back in the tailcone of the aircraft, away from all ferrous metal, is a magnetic compass. The output of this compass is electrically "enhanced" and amplified through a "flux gate"... This signal is fed to the HSI to drive the DG portion of the unit. What this means is that the reading is very accurate, not subject to the vagrancies of the regular magnetic compass, and is constantly being corrected for drift. On some aircraft, this signal is also used to slave the ADF heading card. 2, record 5, English, - corrected%20for%20drift
