Abstract: A bridge conductor (104) for the turns of an MRI RF coil may be connected serially within a connector joint area of an inductive coil (100) so as to selectively increase its physical size (e.g., so as to accommodate larger patient volumes to imaged therewithin). Serial capacitance may be included in at least one of the bridging conductors so as to substantially reduce the net inductive impedance of the added bridge conductors such that the standard coil RF tuning and impedance matching circuits may still operate within their normal predetermined adjustable ranges.

Abstract: An analogue circuit or unit under test (34) is tested utilising automatic test equipment (30) and an interface unit (35) to apply stimuli to the circuit (34), the stimuli including supply potentials. A computer (32) analyses the circuit (34) as a network of nodes and modules to deduce a set of ranges of values at selected nodes, the ranges being determined from the set of the stimuli and a resultant set of test measurements, taken from nodes of the circuit by means of the interface (35) and automatic test equipment (30), taking into account tolerances in the stimuli, the measurements and the nominal parameters of components of the circuit. If there is inconsistency among the derived ranges the computer (32) treats as potentially faulty any module which could remove the inconsistency if the constraints imposed by that module were suspended. The computer (32) controls an iterative, hierarchical process involving repetition of the sequence of steps using different sets of stimuli and/or measurements and/or different analyses of the circuit into nodes and modules, in particular with analysis in terms of successively smaller modules. In this way, the location of faults can be progressively narrowed down and corresponding output information can be given in a device (40) such as a VDU or printer.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining the fundamental viscoelastic properties of a viscoelastic material includes means for imparting a torsional stress in a viscoelastic material; means for measuring the relaxation of the torsional stress over time and converting the relaxation stress to a representative waveform; and processing means for determining the frequency dependant fundamental viscoelastic properties of the material based on the shape of a portion of the waveform. Preferably, the processing means includes a first dedicated processor for producing a digital representation of the waveform and a second general processor, such as an IBM compatible microcomputer for determining the fundamental viscoelastic properties from a portion of the digital representation. To facilitate automating the determination of the fundamental viscoelastic properties of the test material, the first processor examines the waveform and aborts the determination if the digital waveform is atypical of an expected waveform for a viscoelastic material subjected to a torsional stress. A method of determining the fundamental viscoelastic properties of a viscoelastic material includes the steps of imparting a torsional stress in a viscoelastic material; measuring the relaxation of the torsional stress over time and converting the relaxation stress to a representative analog waveform; digitizing the representative analog waveform to produce a representative digital waveform; and, determining the frequency dependant fundamental viscoelastic properties of the material based on the shape of a portion of the representative digital waveform. To facilitate automating the method, the shape of the waveform may be analyzed to detect the start of a test, the end of the test, and whether the test is a valid test. Preferably, the fundamental viscoelastic properties of the test material are determined by converting the torque based amplitudes of the waveform to shear relaxation modulus values, such as by multiplying the torque amplitudes by the geometric form factor of the test material, and then by transforming the shear stress modulus values to frequency dependant fundamental viscoelastic properties through the known Yagii/Maekawa approximation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In fittings for the detachable connection of two plates, having an approximately cylindrical clamping part which holds the head of a tightening bolt in a recess (7) having an insertion opening (11), a clamping slot which is open on one side being provided over a part of the circumference of its side wall, the assembly of the plates is relatively difficult, since they must be held by hand or by additional aids until the clamping process is completed. In order to achieve a temporary connection of the parts by a latching connection between the clamping part and the tightening bolt, the clamping part has an elastic constriction (12) which reduces the insertion opening (11) below the size of the head diameter of the tightening bolt. When two plates are being joined, the tightening bolt is inserted with its head into the insertion opening (11) of the recess (7) and hence spreads the elastic constriction (12) apart, which then narrows again once the head has passed through so that the tightening bolt is secured against sliding out.

Each pair of pinching plates positioned next to one another (19a, 19b), (19b, 19c), (19c, 19a) has a unique thrust cog (41a, 41b, 41c), so that each pinching plate (19) is in cooperation with each of its two adjacent pinching plates (19) and the hair catching range of the pinching plates (19) extends over the entire depilation opening (3). The thrust cogs (41a, 41b, 41c) are provided on the auxiliary shaft (21) at mutual angles of 120 DEG , so that an even operation of the depilation apparatus in time is achieved and an undesirable contact between the pinching plates (19) at a side of the drive shaft (7) remote from the depilation opening (3) is prevented. The pinching plates (19) each have a central, star-shaped opening (65, 67, 69, 71) by means of which the relevant pinching plate (19) is mounted in recesses (59, 61, 63) of three comb-shaped support ridges (51, 53, 55) of the drive shaft (7), which ridges extend parallel to a central portion (57) of the drive shaft (7) at mutual angles of 120 DEG . A favourable moment arm ratio for the pinching force and a stable support of the pinching plates (19) in the pinching position are achieved by this.
