Title: Quadrature rf field coil for use in magnetic resonance
Inventor: HOULT DAVID
IPC: G01R33/34
Filed: 2001-02-08
Abstract: There is described a quadrature radio frequency (RF) coil design to be used with appropriate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hardware to obtain images of the human body. The design provides good RF field homogeneity over a volume suitable for thoracic diagnostic imaging, and operates in quadrature mode as a transmit and/or receive coil. The design is for use with a 0.33 tesla permanent, C shaped magnet with a vertical main field but is of general applicability. The coil includes two parallel annular coils connected at top and bottom by two plate conductors. The plates are split longitudinally and transversely and connected across the splits by capacitors to define two modes of resonant oscillation which can be tuned separately and independently to the same frequency, where the modes define fields which are mutually orthogonal. The fields are at right angles to the magnetic field and to the plate conductors so that the sample can be inserted through the openings at right angles to the plates.

Inventor: WIRTH JOHANNES
IPC: B66B1/34
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a platform scale comprised of a base (6) on which a weighing element (26) is supported and of a weighing platform (1) that rests on said weighing element (26). The weighing element (26) consists, for example, of two rectangular tubes (3) each having an upper and lower ridge (2, 4). The introduction of force occurs via said ridges (2, 4). A second rectangular tube (7) extends between the first rectangular tubes (3) and supports a sensor (8) which is subjected to the action of a rod (9) mounted in a fastening element (10). The force of the load acting upon the ridges (2, 4) causes a bending of the second rectangular tube. This bending is recorded by the sensor (8) and the magnitude thereof is determined. The ridges (2, 4) can extend over the entire length of the first rectangular tubes (3) or can also be discontinuous. In addition, they can be configured as bending springs and/or can support lower and upper edges. In the first case, the ridges (2, 4) take on the bulk of the bending work and, in the second case, they transmit pure forces.
