Patent EP-1585989-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WEISS STEFFEN
IPC: G01R33/28
Filed: 2003-12-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining the position of an object, such as for example a medical intervention instrument, located in the examination area of an MR device. For this purpose, a high-frequency magnetic field is generated in the examination area, which high-frequency magnetic field runs essentially parallel to a main magnetic field that is active at the same time. In the process, a component of the high-frequency magnetic field that is perpendicular to the main magnetic field is produced in the vicinity of conversion means fitted on the object, on account of which perpendicular component of the high-frequency magnetic field a nuclear resonance signal is excited. In conjunction with a gradient field, the nuclear resonance signal is detected and evaluated, so that the position of the object can be determined. Furthermore, the invention relates to an MR device and to specific components for carrying out the method.

IPC: E05B73/00
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a bolting device for outboard engines, for mounting on the side of a boat or the like, said device comprising a locking bolt (70) having a screw thread (72) which can be screwed into a shackle (100) of an outboard engine, and a bolt head (73) for rotating the bolt (70). Said locking bolt (70) comprises a front end section which engages in the side (200) of the boat in the mounted state and is oriented away from the bolt head (73), and/or is directly or indirectly tightened against the side of the boat. Said bolting device also comprises a protective housing (60, 80) receiving the locking bolt (70) and provided with an access to the bolt head (73), and a closing device (40) for closing the access to the bolt head (73). In order to simplify the handling of the bolting device and to increase its resistance, the protective housing (60, 80) consists of two parts, namely a first part (60) surrounding the screw thread (72) of the locking bolt (70), and a second part (80) which is detachably connected to the first part (60) on the side of the bolt head (73). Said second part can be locked to the first part (60) by means of the closing device (40) and frees the access to the bolt head (73) when detached from the first part. The invention also relates to the locking bolt for the inventive bolting device.

Abstract: The device according to the present invention relates to phase conjugate conversion and wavelength conversion. This device includes a polarization beam splitter (10) and a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) (12). The polarization beam splitter (10) has first, second, and third ports. The first port is supplied with signal light including first and second polarization components respectively having first and second polarization planes orthogonal to each other, and with pump light. The first and second ports are coupled by the first polarization plane, and the first and third ports are coupled by the second polarization plane. The PMF has first and second ends, and has a polarization mode to be maintained between the first and second ends. The first end is optically connected to the second port so that the first polarization plane is adapted to the polarization mode, and the second end is optically connected to the third port so that the second polarization plane is adapted to the polarization mode. Converted light generated by four-wave mixing based on the signal light and the pump light in the PMF is output from the first port, so that the converted light can be taken out by an optical circulator (8).

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of idle mode
control in an orthogonal frequency-division
multiplexing (OFDM) system. By superposing idle mode
control channels on a frame synchronization pattern
in the frame header of an OFDM frame, mobile
terminals at a low migration rate will be switched
into idle mode during packet service transmission
intermission period. The mobile terminals in idle
mode needn't do FFT to check whether there is any
packet to be received after receiving every frame,
thereby the power energy of the mobile terminals is
greatly saved.
