    摘要: A magnet assembly (1) comprises a first superconducting coil assembly (A,Aʹ-C,Cʹ) for generating a first magnetic field; and a second superconducting coil assembly (D-F) for generating a second magnetic field. The second superconducting coil assembly (D-F) is concentric and electrically connected in series with the first superconducting coil assembly, wherein the first and second super conducting coil assemblies each generate, in use, magnetic fields whose corresponding components are of substantially the same order of magnitude. The assemblies are arranged such that a resultant uniform magnetic field is generated in a working volume (3), and the second magnetic field opposes the first magnetic field outwardly of the magnet assembly (1). The first and second coil assemblies are also arranged such that they only generate a uniform magnetic field within the working volume (3) when operated together.

    摘要: A pulse tube refrigerator comprises a fixed pressure casing (3) containing cold parts and a removable pressure casing (2) containing serviceable parts. The fixed pressure casing (3) and the removable pressure casing (2) are coupled together via a joining member (1). During cooling operation the joining member (1) is arranged such that refrigerant fluid flows between the fixed and the removable casings. During servicing the joining member is arranged to cut off flow of refrigerant fluid between the fixed and removable casings, such that refrigerant in the fixed casing is trapped and parts in the removable casing are accessible for servicing. After servicing, substantially pure refrigerant fluid is pumped into the removable casing (2), the fixed and removable casings are re-joined and the joining member (1) is arranged such that refrigerant fluid flows between the casings again.

    摘要: A multiple port rotary valve for flow switching comprises a rotor (2), a stator (7), a compressor supply (8) and a compressor return (6). Gas is supplied via the compressor supply throughout a switching cycle such that the rotor is lifted away from the stator (7). The valve further comprises a balance ram to counteract the effect of the differential pressure produced by the compressor supply, such that a gas seal is formed at the rotor/stator interface.

    摘要: An apparatus for and method of control of a switch (102) in an electrical power converter (100) using pulse width modulation to regulate output voltage (112) and current. The method allows precise output voltage regulation to be achieved whilst accurately controlling the proportion of load-current supplied by multiple modules connected in parallel. A ramped waveform (408), consisting of a component representing the instantaneous current and a component representing the input voltage applied since the switch (102) switched on in the current PWM cycle, is compared with an error signal (406) to determine the width of each PWM pulse.

    摘要: There is disclosed a parallel loaded series resonant converter 300 suitable for supplying DC to a three axis gradient amplifier in an MRI system. In conventional resonant circuits, output voltage is regulated by controlling the switching frequency of an H-bridge or half bridge switching arrangement and the resonant circuit (334, 335) is under more stress at no load than at full load. The voltage across the resonant capacitor (334) is a function of the switching frequency, the load and the voltage applied across the resonant circuit (V A -V B ). In the present invention, the peak current at no load is reduced to lower than the peak current at full load by controlling the voltage applied to the resonant circuit (V A -V B ) rather than controlling the switching frequency.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging system comprises a magnet (30) for generating a main magnetic field, a gradient coil (34) to superimpose a linearly varying magnetic field over the main magnetic field, and an RF coil (34) forming part of a transmit/receive system for signals which are used to construct an image. A shimset (32) is positioned between the magnet (30) and the gradient coil (34) to provide magnetic field correction and is constructed so as not to have axial and azimuthal symmetry. This is achieved by providing cutout portions (38) in the shimset (32) which are diametrically opposite each other, similar cutouts (40) being provided in the gradient coil (34) which are aligned with the cutout portions (38). The cutout portions (38, 40) accommodate the shoulders of larger patients, therefore reducing the need to extend the bore size of the magnetic resonance imaging system.
