Abstract: The invention features a method of removing wrinkles in a region of skin in which an optical coupler is applied to the region to cause a surface of the optical coupler to contact the ridges of the wrinkles and is spaced from the valleys of the wrinkles. Optical energy is delivered from an optical energy source through the optical coupler to the surface at an incident angle that is greater than about arcsin( n  0 / n  2 ) and less than about arcsin( n  1 / n  2 ), where n o ,  n  1 , and  n  2  are the refractive indices of air, the skin, and the optical coupler, respectively. The optical energy is delivered with energy sufficient to smooth over the ridges of the wrinkles.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ventilateur axial efficace qui comprend un moyeu central, plusieurs pales et un bord, et qui est conçu pour fonctionner dans une gaine et induire un flux à travers un ou plusieurs échangeurs thermiques, dans un ensemble de refroidissement de moteur d'automobile, par exemple. Les pales de ventilateur présentent une distribution radiale du coefficient d'interaction qui fournit une grande efficacité et un bruit réduit dans le champ de flux non uniforme créé par les échangeurs thermiques et la gaine. La pale ne présente aucun balayage ou subit un balayage arrière (p. ex. à l'opposé de la direction de rotation) dans la région située entre l'emplacement radial r/R=0,70 et l'extrémité (r/R=1,00). Le coefficient d'interaction des pales augmente de l'emplacement radial r/R=0,75 à un emplacement radial situé entre r/R=0,90 et r/R=0,975, puis diminue vers l'extrémité de la pale.

IPC: G01R33/56

Abstract: A magnetic resonance (MR) imaging apparatus and technique exploits spatial
information inherent in a surface coil array to increase MR image acquisition speed,
resolution and/or field of view. Partial signals are acquired simultaneously in the
component coils of the array and formed into two or more signals corresponding to
orthogonal spatial representations. In a Fourier embodiment, lines of the  k -space
matrix required for image production are formed using a set of separate, preferably
linear combinations of the component coil signals to substitute for spatial
modulations normally produced by phase encoding gradients. The signal combining
may proceed in a parallel or flow-through fashion, or as post-processing, which in
either case reduces the need for time-consuming gradient switching and expensive
fast magnet arrangements. In the post-processing approach, stored signals are
combined after the fact to yield the full data matrix. In the flow-through approach,
a plug-in unit consisting of a coil array with an on board processor outputs two or
more sets of combined spatial signals for each spin conditioning cycle, each directly
corresponding to a distinct line in k-space. This partially parallel imaging strategy,
dubbed  SiM ultaneous  A cquisition of  S patial  H armonics (SMASH), is readily
integrated with many existing fast imaging sequences, yielding multiplicative time
savings without a significant sacrifice in spatial resolution or signal-to-noise ratio.
An experimental system achieved two-fold improvement in image acquisition time
with a prototype three-coil array, and larger factors are achievable with other coil
arrangements.
