Abstract: A method of MRI includes supporting a subject in an examination region (14) of an MRI scanner (A), and setting up a spin system with a net magnetization. An inversion pulse is applied which inverts the magnetization of the spin system in a selected volume of the subject. As the magnetization re-grows, a first set of raw data is generated by acquiring MR signals from a series of regions within the selected volume. For the first set of raw data, the series of regions are acquired in a first temporal order with respect to the inversion pulse. The inversion pulse is re-applied, and as the magnetization re-grows, a second set of raw data is generated in similar fashion to the first. However, for the second set of raw data, the series of regions are acquired in a second temporal order with respect to the inversion pulse. The second temporal order is different from the first temporal order. From the first and second sets of raw data, respectively, first and second sets of complex image data are generated. A complex phase correction factor is then determined and applied to one of, or both, the first and second sets of complex image data to thereby phase match the same. A combined image is generated via a pixel by pixel complex combination of the phase matched first and second sets of complex image data. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A resonant circuit (10) employs a coil (12) and capacitor (14). The presence of a permanent magnet (16) near the coil reduces the coil inductance and this is detected by analysing the response to impulses from an excitation circuit (18). The excitation circuit is able to deliver a burst of N pulses and the analytical means determines the presence of a magnet when a preset number of responses M show diminished inductance.

Abstract: The invention here described relates to monitoring the effect of angiogenesis inhibiting drugs used to treat cancer in breast and testicular tissues. A probe combining electromagnetic radiation in the red and infra-red part of the spectrum is physically combined with a series of Ultrasound Doppler transducers arranged to monitor blood flow over one hemisphere of the tumour. This arrangement overcomes the major difficulty with conventional Doppler blood flow probes that the signals vary more from area to area of the cancer than the changes induced by the drugs acting on the neovascularisation over short time intervals. The invention envisages using probes with transducers of different frequencies and where the piezoelements are angled to cover such an area of angiogenesis that inhomogeneities become insignificant, by virtue of the fact that signals from all the vessels in a hemispherical volume of the tumour's advancing front are collected and processed electronically to produce the observed spectra.

Abstract: There is provided a high-pressure dome type compressor which comprises a motor using a rare earth magnet and has stable performance. There are provided a compression element 3 and a DC motor 5 for driving the compression element 3 in a casing 2. The motor 5 is disposed in a high pressure area 6, which obtains a high temperature and high pressure due to a discharged gas. The motor 5 includes a rare earth/iron/boron permanent magnet having an intrinsic coercive force of 1.7 MA/m<-1> or greater in a rotor and has a rated output or 1.9 kW or higher. An inverter 10 controls a current to be supplied to the motor 5 such that a temperature of the motor 5 becomes equal to a predetermined temperature or lower and that an opposing magnetic field generated in a stator of the motor 5 has a predetermined strength or less. Therefore, since the rare earth magnet of the motor 5 does not obtain a high temperature and is not exposed to a strong opposing magnetic field, the magnet is hardly demagnetized. Thus, performance of the motor 5 and further performance of the high-pressure dome type compressor 1 become stable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) for operation across a range of flow rates wherein during low pressure operation water enters the TVM (100) into chamber (157) around the circumference of the valve member (150) and cold valve seat (140) and hot water enters into chamber (158), the hot and cold water entering chamber (235) and becoming thoroughly mixed. At low pressure drops, the check valves (230) remain closed so the only pathway the mixed water can follow is through the sensing chamber (125) and the mixed water enters discharge portion (120) to the mixed water outlet (245), the flow path of the hot and cold water shown by pathways (255) and (260), the water becomes thoroughly mixed before entering the sensing chamber (225). For high flow rate operation the water enters and is mixed within the valve as before but in this case the pressure drop across the check valve operates the check valves (230), allowing the mixed water to follow an additional route to the discharge portion (120) and thence to the outlet (245) with additional flow pathway (265) through the valves (230), ensuring accurate temperature sensing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for concentrating and stabilizing conjugated estrogens from pregnant mare urine on solid adsorbent supports to obtain a starting material for pharmaceuticals that contain a natural mixture of conjugated estrogen mixtures on cartridges in the vicinity of the horses. The adsorbent cartridges can be loaded at the site of urine collection so it is unnecessary to transport large volumes of urine to a central processing point. The loading process can take continuously over a period of weeks until the column is saturated. The effluent urine remains at the site where facilities for its disposal are available. Only the loaded cartridge is transported, and transport can occur at longer intervals of up to several weeks. The stability of the conjugated estrogens on the adsorber assures there is no risk of decomposition.

Abstract: Innovative mechanism for a divan bed enabling the adjustment in three positions, said "divan", "relax" and "bed", comprising padding elements supported by two frames; said frames can reciprocally move by means of two angle-bars, concurrent in a point; one of said angle-bars supports the frame forming the seat of the divan bed and the second one supports the frame forming the back of the divan bed; moreover comprising an articulated quadrilateral which supports said second angle-bar. The mechanism is characterised in that the angle-bars constitute a release mechanism which enables the three positions, stable respect to the divan bed base, while the quadrilater stiffly moves the angle-bars in other three positions. Therefore, the main feature of the mechanism is the univocal positioning between the angle-bars and the quadrilateral elements, without any other additional element as, for example, stop elements like ratchet or pawl.

Abstract: An example embodiment of a computer system that includes a removable agent that can be removed or installed without powering down the system includes a fixed bus agent and the replaceable bus agent. The fixed bus agent and the replaceable bus agent are electrically coupled together by a presence detect signal, a synchronization signal, and a data bus. A deassertion of the presence detect signal indicates to the fixed bus agent that the removable bus agent has been disconnected and is no longer electrically coupled to the fixed bus agent. The fixed bus agent then tri-states its outputs and also prevents potentially invalid data from being delivered to the core circuitry of the fixed bus agent. An assertion of the presence detect signal indicates to the fixed bus agent that the replaceable bus agent is electrically connected to the fixed bus agent. In response to the assertion of the presence detect signal, the fixed bus agent and the replaceable bus agent enter reset periods. Following the reset periods and when each bus agent is ready to communicate to the other agent, the fixed bus agent and the replaceable bus agent signal to each other over the synchronization signal that each is ready to begin communication over the data bus.
