Abstract: The invention relates to an equipment for storing rainwater falling on a roof or a rooftop of a house or used water from a bathtub. Three water tanks (11 to 13) are stacked one on another in a position below rain gutters (14). The rain gutters and a first water tank (11) are connected to each other by a first supply channel (21), and a second supply channel (22) is connected to its one end to the lower surface of the first water tank (11) and is provided at the other end thereof with a supply valve (33). A third supply channel (23) provided with a check valve (43) is connected at its one end to lower surfaces of the second and third water tanks (12, 13), respectively, and is connected at the other end thereof to the second supply channel. When rainwater stored in the first and second water tanks reaches predetermined water levels, respectively, amounts of rainwater above the predetermined water levels are conducted to the second and third water tanks, respectively, by an overflow channel (41). Rain water is collected in order in the tanks with the first water tank (11) first, and rainwater in the tanks is supplied in order to destinations being supplied starting with the first water tank (11). The equipment can be installed in a relatively small space and relatively readily increase or decrease its water storage capacity by increasing or decreasing the number of the water tanks, and can supply collected rainwater to destinations, where water is needed, as water for miscellaneous use by the utilization of potential energy of rainwater in the water tanks without providing a pump.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes main field coils (10) for generating a temporally uniform magnetic field longitudinally through a central bore (12). A whole body gradient magnetic field coil (30) and radio frequency coil (36) are disposed around the bore. An insertable coil assembly (40) includes an insertable gradient coil (42) and a radio frequency coil (44). The insertable coil assembly places the gradient and radio frequency coil significantly closer to the region of interest to be imaged than the whole body coils. In one embodiment (FIGURE 2), the gradient coil assembly is a cylindrical coil assembly including x, y, and z-gradient coils which receive current pulses in order to generate linear, uniform, magnetic field gradients through a selected region adjacent a patient end of the gradient coil. Although the asymmetric coil design promotes linearity of the magnetic field gradients and improves patient access, the currents in the asymmetric coil interact with the main magnetic field to generate a net torque. Additional windings are added on the service end, opposite to the patient end, of the gradient coil to (1) contribute to the linearity and uniformity of the gradient magnetic field and (2) to generate counteracting torques. In another embodiment (Figure 4) planar gradient coils (80, 82) each tend to suffer a net torque due to the interaction of the current pulses flowing in each and the main magnetic field. Additional windings (92, 94) are incorporated in the planar gradient coils to zero the net torque in each. By eliminating the net torque, strong, rigid mechanical supports become unnecessary and coil vibration and the inherent image artifacts attributable to the vibration are eliminated.
