Patent EP-0571071-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NESSAIVER MORIEL S
IPC: A61B5/026
Filed: 1993-03-17
Abstract: In a method of magnetic resonance cine imaging a positive portion (52) of k-space and a negative portion (56) are both divided into n segments. In each cardiac cycle, a multiplicity of field echoes (106) are generated, which multiplicity of echoes are divided into groups of n contiguous echoes. Within each group, the echoes are all from either the positive portion of k-space or the negative portion of k-space. Preferably, every group of each cardiac cycle has the same views in the same order to generate like, time displaced frames of a cine image sequence. Within each group, the views from the central-most segment n are collected in the middle of the group, views from progressively less central, higher frequency segments are progressively less centrally located within each group with views of the most peripheral, highest frequency segments being collected at the ends of the group. The total number of segments is an integer multiple of four times the number of views per group to facilitate 0°-180° phase cycling. Quantitative flow images are generated by expanding each group to include corresponding views from the k-space for reference image data and a flow sensitized image data. The echo signals for the reference and flow sensitized images for each frame are separated and reconstructed into reference and flow sensitized images for each frame. The reference and flow sensitized images are subtracted to generate a quantitative flow image for each frame.

Abstract: A synergistic flame retardant system having a halogenated aromatic di-ester and platinum is added to a heat curable rubber composition to improve extinguishing times and minimal char formation. When used in conjunction with platinum, brominated aromatic diols and brominated aromatic esters particularly increase the flame retardancy when added to a polyorganosiloxane heat curable rubber composition. The halogenated aromatic di-ester has four halogen atoms substituted on the aromatic ring, a COOR¹ group and a COOR² group, wherein each halogen may be the same as or different than the others, R₁ is selected from a hydrocarbon having 1-20 carbon atoms, an ether, and an alkenyl group having 2-20 carbon atoms, and R₂ is selected from a hydrocarbon having 1-20 carbon atoms, an ether, and an alkenyl group having 2-20 carbon atoms. If either R₁ or R₂ is an ether, it preferably has a formula -R₃-O-R₄- wherein R₃ is a hydrocarbon chain having 1-20 carbon atoms, and R₄ is a hydrocarbon chain having 1-20 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Un circuit de commande de gain automatique (CGA) de récepteur comprend un premier amplificateur réglable (158) de commande de gain qui est sensible à un signal (156) de commande de gain. Le circuit CGA comprend également un second amplificateur réglable (114) de commande de gain et un circuit de commande (116) qui reçoit le signal (156) de commande de gain et produit un signal de commande de gain modifié ou VCNTRL (152) en fonction du second amplificateur réglable de commande (114). Le circuit de commande (116) limite également le volume de commande de gain appliqué aux amplificateurs réglables de commande de gain (114 et 118) lorsque le signal de commande de gain (156) atteint un certain niveau prédéterminé. Ceci assure toute nouvelle réduction de gain se produisant au niveau du premier amplificateur de commande de gain réglable (158) et par conséquent réduit les risques de distorsion dans des conditions de signaux d'entrée de haute intensité.

Abstract: An auger mining apparatus (10) includes a support frame (12) holding a tilt platform (18). A tilt mechanism displaces the tilt platform (18) at a pitch between 0 - 45  DEG  relative to the support frame (12). A stacked, dual carriage arrangement (24, 32) is carried by the tilt platform. A bidirectional auger drive system (46) is mounted to the upper carriage (32).  The dual carriages are mounted for reciprocal movement along independent paths extending substantially perpendicular to one another. An auger clamp (54) mounted to the tilt platform includes a pilot member for guiding auger sections and a mechanism allowing movement on the pilot member through two separate planes; the second perpendicular to the first. The auger clamp also includes a clamp/decoupling plate and a mechanism for moving the plate in a third plane orthogonal to the first and second planes. Thus, the pilot member with the clamping/decoupling plate may also be utilized to clamp and hold an auger line in position even in steeply pitched seams.

Abstract: A method is provided to increase the fiber content of extruded foods without compromising overall eating quality. It has been recognized that dietary fiber is beneficial in human diet; however, it has been difficult to obtain good or acceptable texture in extruded foods fortified with high fiber because the addition of dietary fiber to these foods adds density. It has now been found that the addition of resistant starch to starting dough mixes for extruded food products not only increases the total dietary fiber of the extruded food product, but also increases expansion and improves the texture of the extruded food over compositions that do not contain the resistant starch and over compositions that are fortified with other forms of dietary fiber, such as oat bran.
