Abstract: A method of locating a starting point of a firmware image in a non-volatile memory
unit may include checking (151) each of a number of possible starting points within the non-volatile
memory unit (101) until a code space signature (120) is located that indicates the
starting point of the firmware image (100). A system for implementing this method in a host
device (108) may include a non-volatile memory unit (101) of the host device (108), and a
boot module (102) stored in the host device (108) for execution by a processor (107), where
the boot module (102) is configured, when executed, to check (151) each of a number of
possible starting points for the firmware image (100) within the non-volatile memory unit
(101) until a code space signature (120) is located that indicates the starting point of the
firmware image (100). A method of locating where in a non-volatile memory unit (101) an
incoming firmware image (100b) can be stored may include, on receipt of a the incoming
firmware image (100b), attempting (164) to erase at least one block (101a) of the non-volatile
memory unit (101) and storing (166) the incoming firmware image (100b) in the
non-volatile memory unit (101) where the attempt to erase succeeds. A system for
implementing this method in a host device (108) may include a processor (107) of the host
device (108) for running an existing firmware image (100a) and a non-volatile memory unit
(101) of the host device (108), where the existing firmware image (100a) is configured, on
receipt of a the incoming firmware image (100b), to attempt (164) erasure of at least one
block (101a) of the non-volatile memory unit (101), and store the incoming firmware image
(100b) in the non-volatile memory unit (101) where the attempted erasure succeeds.

Abstract: Parallel imaging is performed by a magnetic resonance imaging
system provided with a multiple RF coil composed of plural element coils.
In the parallel imaging, as part of imaging conditions, a desired imaging
FOV and a reduction rate of data acquisition time for the parallel imaging
are specified by an operator. An unfolding FOV to which an unfolding
scale is assigned is specified. The unfolding scale is larger in value than
the reduction rate, thus the unfolding FOV being larger in the size than
the imaging FOV. Using an acquisition FOV specified based on the
imaging FOV and the reduction rate, a scan for the parallel imaging is
performed and images are reconstructed corresponding to the respective
element coils. The reconstructed images are unfolded into an
unfolding-FOV image at the unfolding scale. An image having the
imaging FOV is cut out, as a desired final image, from the unfolded
image.
