Abstract: A method to compensate for magnetic field inhomogeneity inside an object of investigation in an MR apparatus, comprising: 
- executing an MR sequence on the MR apparatus by applying one or more RF pulses to generate a transverse magnetization within the object, switching currents in field manipulating coils to effect a spatial encoding and recording MR signal data; and 
- performing reconstruction of the MR signal data to produce an image; 
whereby artifacts in the image due to magnetic field inhomogeneity are prevented by 
(a) temporally separating MR signals originating from different sub-volumes within the volume of transverse magnetization by preceding the spatial encoding with a nonlinear phase preparation, and by 
(b) dynamically updating shimming parameters to individually compensate for the field inhomogeneity distributions within the different sub-volumes.

IPC: H01M4/58
Filed: 2009-08-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of a force to enhance the performance of an electrochemical cell. The force may comprise, in some instances, an anisotropic force with a component normal to an active surface of the anode of the electrochemical cell. In the embodiments described herein, the electrochemical cells (e.g., rechargeable batteries) may undergo a charge/discharge cycle involving deposition of metal (e.g., lithium metal) on a surface of the anode upon charging and reaction of the metal on the anode surface, wherein the metal diffuses from the anode surface, upon discharging. The uniformity with which the metal is deposited on the anode may affect cell performance. For example, when lithium metal is redeposited on an anode, it may, in some cases, deposit unevenly forming a rough surface. The roughened surface may increase the amount of lithium metal available for undesired chemical reactions which may result in decreased cycling lifetime and/or poor cell performance. The application of force to the electrochemical cell has been found, in accordance with the invention, to reduce such behaviour and to improve the cycling lifetime and/or performance of the cell.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for initiating a call in a communication network between a first signaling entity and a second signaling entity each connected to a respective node and the nodes connected to a network wherein communications between the signaling entities and the nodes are conducted using a first protocol and communications are carried over the network using a second protocol. A first signaling entity sends a request for call setup using the first protocol to a first node. That node converts the request from the first protocol to a second protocol and sends the request over the network to a second node connected to a second signaling entity. The second node receives and converts the call setup request from the second protocol to the first protocol in the second node and establishes a separate connection between the first node and the second node over which communications can be sent using the first protocol. The second node forwards information concerning the separate connection from the second node to the first node over the network using the second protocol. Call setup information is exchanged between the first node and the second node over the separate connection. Messages can then be sent between the first node and the second node over the separate connection using the second protocol and other messages can be sent between the first node and the second node over the network using the second protocol.
