Granted: 2015-01-13
Abstract: The promotional orchestration engine includes a services engine that provides transactional responses to a user's request, such as informational results being returned to the user or request for further actions that will be forwarded. An analysis engine stores data and provides tactical and strategic level analysis. The analysis engine uses transactional data generated by the services engine to abstract knowledge and consolidate and aggregate such information. The learning engine is a mechanism by which the promotional orchestration engine adapts itself to changing conditions. The learning engine preferably customizes various components of the services engine and components of the analysis engine. The learning engine causes the services engine to present different information over time so as to keep the system fresh. From a user's standpoint, the learning engine allows components of the services engine to be personalized to the particular user.

Title: Detection of ferromagnetic objects approaching a magnet
Inventor: HOULT DAVID I
IPC: F02P17/00
Filed: 2003-04-15
Granted: 2009-06-16
Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a potentially dangerous ferromagnetic object carried inadvertently by a person approaching the magnet of a magneti c resonance imaging system uses the fringe field of the magnet and provides guide members defining a path along which the person is prescribed to pass. The pa th is generally or approximately parallel to the field at the path. At least one sense coil and generally two sets of sense coils are located on respective sides of the path so that the movement of the ferromagnetic object in the field of the magnet causes a voltage to be generated in the sense coil. The sense coils include vertical coil legs on each side of the path at spaced positions along the path defining a sensi ng zone having a height approximating the height to be sensed. An electrical measuri ng device measures the electrical signal and provides a warning indication when the electrical signal exceeds a predetermined value, either by its amplitude or by an integral over the movement of the person within the zone as detected by an independent sensor which senses entry into and exit from the zone.
