Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for achieving suppression of blood
pool signal to detect myocardial infarction using MR technology. After
administering a contrast agent into the blood stream of a patient, an RF pulse
sequence (100) is applied that includes a slice-selective inversion pulse (104)
to suppress normal myocardial tissue followed by a notched inversion RF
pulse (110) designed to suppress blood pool in and around the region-of-interest.
MR data (108) is then acquired within the region-of-interest that not
only has signals from normal myocardial tissue suppressed, but also has
blood pool signal suppression to improve delineation of infarcted myocardium
from the ventricular blood pool and normal myocardium.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for making deep microstructures in photoresist. The method utilizes a pool of photoresist on top of a transparent substrate and the laser is located below the substrate. Structures are created in the photoresist by transmitting the laser light through the substrate up into the photoresist. Since the photoresist does not have to be spin coated onto the substrate, very thick layers of photoresist can be used while the thickness uniformity is determined by the substrate surface. Alternately, a contoured substrate can be used while producing uniform structures.

Abstract: First transistor rows (TR1) are arranged, each including two transistors (24a, 24b) connected in series for selectively connecting any of memory cell rows (MR) to an input/output circuit (16). A switching transistor (24a) operates as a switch and a short transistor(s) (24b) each having a source and a drain shorted to each other function(s) as wiring. The first transistor rows (TR1) are provided with a plurality of transistors (24a, 24b) in advance. Since there is no need to selectively form only such a transistor that is to be operated as a switch, there is no need to form ion-implanted regions for making a source and a drain per transistor. As a result, the spacing with which the transistors are arranged can be set without considering the layout rule of the diffusion layer regions. Since the transistors can be arranged closely, the layout area can be decreased and the chip size of the semiconductor memory can be reduced.

Abstract: A compact pilot-operated three-way switching valve changes a flow of a fluid
introduced into an inlet port T1 such that the fluid is caused to flow into a first
outlet port T2 or a second outlet port T3. Pressures in pressure-regulating
chambers above pistons 8, 9 are selectively guided into a passage 36 by a pilot
valve having a pilot valve element 18, plugs 15, 17 including respective valve
seats 14, 16, and a spring 19. The passage 36 leads one of the pressures to
the first outlet port T2 or the second outlet port T3 via a check valve having
valve seats 32, 33, and a valve element 35. The check valve causes a very
small amount of fluid permitted to flow so as to keep main valves open and
closed, respectively, to flow to the downstream side of an open one of the main
valves, whereby internal leakage of fluid is prevented.
