Title: MRI gradient system with improved performance
Inventor: SELLERS MICHAEL BEN
IPC: G01R33/385
Filed: 2013-04-30
Abstract: A gradient system for use in an MRI machine includes a gradient coil assembly and a gradient amplifier. The gradient coil assembly comprises three independent and orthogonal gradient coils wherein two transverse coils are oriented such that they produce linear magnetic field gradients along axes (a-axis and b-axis) that are at 45 degrees to the sagittal and coronal directions. The gradient amplifier is configured to provide simultaneous near-identical currents to the transverse coils such that the composite resultant field gradients may be produced that align with axes that are perpendicular to the sagittal and coronal planes i.e. the conventional x-axis and y-axis. Such a gradient system produces transverse gradients that are comparable to conventional coil assemblies but approximately 1.4 times stronger without demanding larger peak currents from the gradient amplifier.

Inventor: HOSOE HIROSHI
IPC: G06F3/14
Filed: 2013-12-03
Abstract: Rotating an image for presentation in accordance with the display apparatus orientation results in the image being easier to view. A second image (fig. 3B) played back following the playback of a first image (fig. 3A) is played or is displayed in a stopped state (fig. 3B) in dependence upon the relationship between the second image and the apparatus attitude or orientation. Alternatively, the playback of a sequence of images may be paused if the detected attitude of the display apparatus is not aligned with the orientation of an image to be displayed. Also disclosed is playing back or pausing the display of a second image following the playing of a first image in dependence on the orientation of the first image coinciding with the orientation of the second image. Also disclosed is rotating a displayed image in accordance with display apparatus orientation only if the length of time of the sequence or video is less than a predetermined time. Image orientation information may also be used. Indications on the display may assist the user, such as providing suggestion for rotation of the screen (303), or that rotation is impossible (fig. 21).

Title: Ball seat milling and re-fracturing method
Inventor: O'MALLEY EDWARD J
IPC: E21B43/26
Filed: 2012-11-08
Abstract: A well that has a plurality of sliding sleeves used to originally fracture multiple zones with balls of increasing size dropped on balls seats to sequentially open ports for fracturing in a direction toward the well surface is refractured. The method involves using a bottom hole assembly (BHA) that has a fluid motor driven mill that mills out ball seats and has with it a ported sub and a resettable packer. Once the lowermost ball seat is milled out a ball is dropped into the BHA to isolate the fluid motor and open a ported sub below a resettable packer. The dropped ball also enables a collet to latch an open sleeve to give a surface signal that the BHA is located properly for packer deployment so that the refracturing can begin through the coiled tubing string that can support the BHA or in a surrounding annular space.
