 Direction finder for vehicle - Patent 4852012
With the magnetic field H.sub.v, the magnetic field to be detected by the terrestrial magnetism sensor 2 becomes a magnetic field H.sub.e which is a composite of the terrestrial magnetism H and the magnetic field H.sub.v.
A horizontal component H (hereinafter referred to as "terrestrial magnetism H") of terrestrial magnetism is detected by a terrestrial magnetism detector 2 mounted on a vehicle 1 as shown in FIG.
terrestrial magnetism detection means being magnetizable and mountable on a movable body, said terrestrial magnetism detection means for detecting terrestrial surface magnetism as a pair of components being parallel to a terrestrial surface and orthogonal to each other and providing a pair of detection signals corresponding thereto, respectively;

 Magnetism--Physical Science lesson plan (grades 9-12)--DiscoverySchool.com
Magnetism is caused by the behavior of atoms in a magnet.
This popular work traces the path of human inquiry into the phenomenon of magnetism as far back as 2000 years ago, when magnetism was regarded with superstition.
Using a mix of explanations, illustrations, and experiments, this book explores electricity, magnetism, and the link between the two.

 I.M.L. - The Itinerant Magnetism Laboratory
- itinerant magnetism is frequently a result of strong electron interactions; therefore, interest in metals in the limit of strong electron correlation often leads to study of systems exhibiting itinerant magnetism.
- itinerant magnetism is at the basis of the fast developing field of spintronics (spin-selective electronics) which may open new future opportunities beyond the reach of conventional electronics
Magnetism for which conduction electrons are responsible is called “itinerant magnetism”.

 EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENCYCLOPEDIA
If you have a Canadian nickel, it is ferromagnetic because it is mostly nickel, and will cling to a magnet the same way as does iron.
Some were attracted by a magnet, and some were repelled although they weren't themselves magnets.
We call the kind of material which is strongly attracted ferromagnetic because they behave like iron (Latin: ferrum).

 barlow.htm
Magnetism of the Earth, is that property of the terrestrial globe, from which the magnetism of the ordinary magnets, the direction of the magnetic needle, and other phenomena are derived; and upon which they necessarily depend.
By 1831 Barlow subsumed all magnetic phenomena to the action of electricity and speculated that the sun's heat was the ultimate cause of terrestrial magnetism.
Barlow commented, "Hitherto we have found a very close approximation between the laws of magnetism appertaining to a simple iron ball and the observed magnetic phenomena of the earth." However, when he applied the analogy to predict the position of the terrestrial magnetic axis, it failed to yield a close match.

 Vehicle bearing detection and data processing methods applicable to vehicle navigation system - Patent 4890233
However, the terrestrial magnetism sensor is easily affected by external disturbances, and its output tends to include a gross error when the vehicle passes a railroad crossing, an iron or steel bridge, a large vehicle (e.g., a truck or bus), or the like.
To increase the reliability of the output data of the terrestrial magnetism sensor 1, an allowable range of fluctuation (window) in the output of the terrestrial magnetism sensor 1 is established.
Provided the bearing data obtained from the terrestrial magnetism sensor is within the window, the CPU 7 deems the data reliable and conforms the bearing obtained from the output data of the angular velocity sensor to that obtained from the output data of the terrestrial magnetism sensor 1 (STEP S23).

 Ferrimagnetism (from magnetism) --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Magnetism and electricity are closely related and are regarded as two expressions of a single force, the electromagnetic force.
Magnetism is also associated with elementary particles, such as the electron, that have a property called spin.
type of permanent magnetism that occurs in solids in which the magnetic fields associated with individual atoms spontaneously align themselves, some parallel, or in the same direction (as in ferromagnetism), and others generally antiparallel, or paired off in opposite directions (as in antiferromagnetism).

(Writers also refer to Mesmer as Franciscus Antonius Mesmer, Franz Antoine Mesmer, and Friedrich Anton Mesmer.) Mesmer coined the expression "animal magnetism" to refer to his concept of a mysterious, magnetic "vital fluid" that (a) permeated the universe and (b) was the agent whereby he induced hypnosis ("mesmeric sleep") in patients.
He postulated that an imbalance between animal magnetism within the body and animal magnetism in the environment caused many illnesses.

 Animal Magnetism
Animal Magnetism became the preferred term used by experimenters and writers such as J. Deleuze (1753-1835) and William Gregory (1803-1858), translator of Baron von Reikenbach's "Odic Force" (associated with animal magnetism).
Thouret had reviewed the phenomena throughout the ages, finding the name "animal magnetism" was otherwise used intending to disassociate it from ferro-magnetism indicating that the mesmeric or mesmeric fluid was associated with an unusual phenomena in living organisms.
Animal Magnetism has been labeled other terms in order to give it some scientific dignity.

 Computer storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically, "memory" referred to "magnetic core memory" in the 1950s, and then to semiconductor-based storage in the 1970s, at a time when the fastest response times were for magnetic core, and then for semiconductor memory, respectively.
Primary storage can be used to refer to local random-access disk storage, which should properly be called secondary storage.
Secondary storage, also known as peripheral storage, is where the computer stores information that is not necessarily in current use.

Preston has employed the term ^spiritual magnetism' to emphasize the pull of the place, which has always been critical to pilgrimage.
Preston (1992) adds "spiritual magnetism" to these critical components of pilgrimage.
Place qualities such as power, awe, mystery, magnetism, are meaningful only in relation to the persons who perceive them as such, and who have the sentiment which motivates them to undertake a sacred journey to such places.

 The Quantum Vortex by David Ash
At a distance from the particle - where the forces of electric charge and magnetism are effective - vortices interact as overlapping concentric spheres.
The concentric rims of magnetism of all the electrons would add up to form concentric cylinders of magnetism.
This would take the form of perpendicular, concentric ‘rims of magnetism’ surrounding each electron in the current.

Time-dependent electromagnetic effects are introduced naturally via the transformation equations for fields and for potentials, and Maxwells equations are systematically derived.
Most books on magnetism introduce the subject in terms of experimental observations, as if magnetism were distinct from, albeit associated with, electricity.
