Patent EP-1508053-A2 (EP)
Inventor: ROOZEN NICOLAAS B
IPC: G01R33/385
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (1) comprising an examination volume (11), a main magnet system (17) for generating a magnetic field (B0) in the examination volume, and a gradient magnet system (25) for generating altering gradients of the magnetic field in the examination volume. The gradient magnet system is accommodated in a housing (31) having a main wall (33) facing the examination volume and a substantially conical wall (35) facing away from the examination volume. The main wall and the conical wall enclose a substantially angular tip portion (47) of the housing. In order to limit the level of the acoustic vibrations in and around the MRI system (1) caused by mechanical vibrations of the angular tip portion (47), the MRI system comprises a plurality of acoustic resonators (55) which each comprise an elongate resonance volume (57) with an open end (59) and a closed end (61) and a length (L) between the open end and the closed end. The open ends of the resonators are arranged near the angular tip portion, and the length of the resonators is substantially equal to 0,25k*λ, wherein k = 1, 3, 5, 7, ... , and wherein λ is the wavelength of an acoustic wave caused by mechanical vibrations of the angular tip portion. The resonators have the acoustic property of neutralizing acoustic waves having said wavelength λ. Preferably, the length of the resonators is tuned to at least one of the wavelengths corresponding to the mechanical resonance frequencies of the vibrating angular tip portion, as the acoustic waves originating from the vibrations at these resonance frequencies constitute a main portion of the overall acoustic level of the MRI system.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la production d'hydrogène par utilisation d'une solution de combustible préparée au moyen d'un composant de combustible solide, par exemple, un borohydrure métallique, et d'un composant de combustible liquide, par exemple, de l'eau. Ces deux composants sont distribués en réponse à des signaux de commande. Le composant de combustible solide peut prendre différentes formes, comprenant, entre autres, des granulés, des pastilles et de la poudre. Des dispositifs variés, fonctionnant en réponse à des signaux de commande, permettent de distribuer des quantités déterminées des composants solide et liquide. Cette solution peut être avantageusement préparée au fur et à mesure, évitant ainsi le besoin de stockage et de disposer de grandes quantités de combustible très alcalin et de solutions épuisées en combustible.

Abstract: Disclosed are beverage and liquid containers that use pervaporation to cool a liquid or material residing in the container. The pervaporative cooling is preferably achieved by use of porous matrices (e.g. 520 in Fig.5) which allow for the passage through the matrix of small quantities of volatile components from a liquid or beverage, such as water or alcohol, the evaporation of which cools the container by virtue of the latent heat of evaporation of the liquid. Alternatively, a pervaporative sleeve (e.g. 533 in Fig.7) may be used to cool a container residing within or in contact with the sleeve.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, le problème de la relation inverse entre le taux de décellularisation et la résistance d'un tissu se résout par immersion du tissu dans une solution contenant une molécule amphipathique non-micellaire (par exemple, un polymère 1,2-epoxyde). Ainsi, l'invention concerne un tissu décellularisé, dans lequel le taux de survie cellulaire du tissu est inférieur à un niveau où la calcification ou une réaction immunitaire provoquée dans un organisme et le taux de dégradation tissulaire du tissu est supprimé à un niveau qui permet des applications cliniques. Le tissu ainsi préparé conserve de préférence un certain niveau de résistance tissulaire. En outre, le tissu selon l'invention facilite le remplacement cellulaire.

Abstract: A reliable and cost-efficient direct drive force feedback motor is suitable for joystick applications, allowing multiple degrees of output freedom, requiring no coil commutation, and permitting compact packaging. A multiple degree-of-freedom motor consistent with the invention comprises an output shaft, a stator, and a rotor. The stator comprises first and second lamination stacks, each lamination stack having an interior curved surface and a coil wound thereon, the lamination stacks being disposed adjacent the output shaft. The rotor is fixed to the output shaft and movably supported adjacent the stator with an air gap disposed between the rotor and the stator, the rotor including at least one magnet disposed thereon and being movable along the interior curved surface of the lamination stacks in directions defining at least first and second degrees of freedom. Energization of the coil of the first lamination stack establishes a first magnetic field to urge the output shaft to rotate in a first plane, and energization of the coil of the second lamination stack establishes a second magnetic field to urge the output shaft to rotate in a second plane substantially orthogonal to the first plane.

Abstract: An accessory device ( 12 ), such as a DVB-T receiver is operable as a USB host to a mobile telephone ( 11 ) to which it is connected via a USB bus ( 13 ). When acting as a host, the accessory device ( 12 ) provides a 4V supply voltage on V<SUB>BUS </SUB>to the mobile telephone, which includes a regulator ( 18 ) regulating the voltage to 3.3 Volts. When a host device (PC) is also connected to the USB bus ( 13 ), the voltage on V<SUB>BUS </SUB>rises, and this is detected by a comparator ( 21 ). In response, the accessory device ( 12 ) sends a USB reset command sends its USB lines tri-state, and ceases to supply V<SUB>BUS</SUB>, thereby relinquishing host status. Loss of the PC ( 10 ) is detected by detecting a low voltage on V<SUB>BUS</SUB>, following which the accessory device reassumes host status.

Abstract: A method for deploying an expandable implant in a body passage of varying diameter includes selecting a balloon having a radial dimension that varies, when the balloon is inflated, in accordance with the varying diameter of the body passage. The balloon is inserted, in a deflated state, into the body passage, with the expandable implant fitted radially around the balloon. The balloon is inflated so as to cause the implant to open, responsively to the varying radial dimension of the balloon, into an expanded shape that approximately matches the varying diameter of the body passage, thus anchoring the implant in the body passage.

Inventor: MARFURT KAREN L
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2004-01-31
Abstract: A method for determining the presence and/or amount of an analyte in a
sample of whole blood comprises the step of treating the sample with a nonlytic
hypertonic salt composition to reduce the hematocrit by reducing the size of the
red blood cells. In optical detection systems, the smaller red blood cells create
greater scatter, which allows a more accurate correction to be applied in a
dual-wavelength detection system. In electrochemical detection systems, as well
as in optical detection systems, the smaller red blood cells provide less obstruction
to the diffusion of analyte and reagents in the sample, to facilitate the reactions
thereof.

Abstract: The interactive environment according to the
invention is a physical environment in continual
interactive change with respect to in-house customers:
customers entering the environment determine an automatic
change in the characteristics of the environment, in
terms of visual and audio features, and psycho-physical
sensations in general. Changes can be made to lighting,
colour schemes, and the content of in-house multimedia
audio and video transmissions: atmosphere, topics,
celebrities, personal message displays and announcements.
To do this, the interactive environment automatically
identifies in-house customers, and accordingly adapts its
physical characteristics automatically to their profiles,
preferences, personal characteristics, and personal data.
The mix of characteristics and preferences of large
numbers of in-house customers determines the setup and
look of the environment as a whole.
