Abstract:
A system for redesigning a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI includes: a computer readable medium (CRM) having instructions, and a screen in communication with the CRM adapted to display a GUI. The GUI includes at least one first portion containing first data represented in first form and at least one second portion containing second data represented in second form. The instructions are for monitoring interaction between a user and the GUI and performing according to the monitoring, at least one action selected from a group consisting of changing representation of the first data to the second form, changing representation of the second data to the first form, and a combination thereof.
Abstract:
A pneumatic sample feedway that is embeddable into a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device. The feedway includes: a plurality of capsules enclosing a biological tissue sample; and a conductor pipe connected to a source of a compressed fluid. The pipe receives a train of the capsules and pneumatically forwards the train into the MRI device. The pipe has a proximal terminal that loads the train of capsules into the pipe.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a chamber having at least one operator hand access port; the port comprising a port aperture located within the chamber wall; and at least two flexible non-resilient lightweight sealing gas-tight flaps(SFs), disposed the same plane of the port aperture in an overlapping manner, entirely enclosing the port aperture; each of the SFs is defined by a port aperture edge and chamber edges; the chamber edges are anchored to the chamber wall along more than half of the perimeter of the flap, at a distance from the center of the port greater than the radius of the port and beyond its perimeter; the port aperture edge of each flap is stretched across an entire chord of the port aperture; stretched port apertures edges define an interior access zone, disposed the same plane of the port aperture, characterized solely by the port aperture edges.

Abstract:
A multi-fault detecting and alerting system in a medical device. The system includes: a plurality of sensors S; a plurality of indicators I; an alarm connected to at least one of the indicators; and a plurality of wires W. The wires transmit values V sensed by the sensors S to the indicators I. The alarm operates upon receiving, by at least on of the indicators, at least two values Vab and Vcd having the relation |Vab-Vcd|>X.
Abstract:
A comparatively light and compact permanent magnet arrangement for an MRI apparatus has a pair of opposed permanent magnet arrays with a shimming system to adjust the uniformity and strength of a magnetic field in a central chamber of the apparatus. The MRI apparatus is used to examine the extremities of a patient to determine cardiovascular characteristics from an analysis of the blood flow through selected arteries in the extremity. The information collected can be used to calculate such characteristics as total cardiac output, blood flow, arterial wall thickness and elasticity and the presence of plaque.
Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging system. The system includes: at least one MRI device that images an object; an image processor; at least one photon detector of a first type to generate at least one first optical image of the object; and at least one photon detector of a second type to generate at least one second optical image of the object. The image processor superimposes the MRI image, the first optical image(s) and the second optical image(s) so as to yield a rendered 3D computer MRI image of the object.
Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging system, including: an MRI device adapted to image at least a portion of an animal; a photon source; an imaging photon detector that detects photons emitted by the photon source; and an image processor that superimposes the MRI image and the photon detector image. The system also includes one or more polarizers located between the animal and the photon detector.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a quality control system characterized by: a. a line of substantially-solid food-products, said products at least partially enclosed in a flexible aluminum foil wrapper and randomly-orientated on said line; b. an MRI device adapted to image each of said products on said line; said MRI is in communication with a computer readable medium adapted to (i) store at least one computer-retrievable standardized parameter related with a standard product; (ii) analyze said MRI thereby providing an online parameter; (iii) compare said online parameter with said predefined standardized parameter; and thereby (iv), detect defects in said products.
