Abstract:
A system of performing inline measurements of flow rate, density, and rheology of a flowing fluid. The system includes a rheology measurement subsystem, a density measurement subsystem, and a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the test fluid within the vertical tube at a location y2 downstream from y1 and displaced vertically from y1 by a distance Δh.
Abstract:
A cage with a fastening system (1) in a magnetic resonance device (MRD) is disclosed, said cage in an MRD comprising (a) M pole pieces (45) (M≧2); (b) N side magnets (20) (N≧2), said side magnets substantially enclosing said pole pieces and thereby defining a magnetic envelope and enclosed volume therein; (c) N side walls (10), said side walls substantially enclosing said side magnets; (d) P face walls (30) (P≧2); and (e) a plurality of fastening rods (100); wherein each of said fastening rods physically interconnects at least one pair of side walls, passing through at least one of said side magnets and at least one of said pole pieces.
Abstract:
A system for redesigning a graphical user interface (GUI) including: a computer readable medium (CRM) having instructions; and a screen in communication with the CRM and that displays the GUI. The GUI includes at least one first portion containing first data represented in a first form; and at least one second portion containing second data represented in a second form. The instructions of the CRM direct monitoring interactions between a user and the GUI.
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 system (MRS), including a magnetic resonance device (MRD), comprising an open bore, the MRD at least partially contained in an envelope comprising in its circumference at least one recess; and, a cart made of MRI-safe material, comprising a base and at least one incubator above the base. The MRS is operative in a method of magnetic resonance imaging of neonates, comprising the steps of obtaining the MRS, the incubator is accommodated by a neonate; and inserting at least a portion of the cart into the MRD such that at least a portion of the incubator is inserted into the open bore and at least a portion of the base into at least one recess.
Abstract:
A cradle configured for life supporting a premature neonate during magnetic resonance imaging procedure is disclosed. The aforethe cradle comprises a receptacle configured for receiving the neonate and inserting into a MRI apparatus. The receptacle is magnetically transparent. The cradle comprises a unit of neonate life support remotely connected to the receptacle such that a magnetic field of the MRI apparatus is not disturbed by the life support unit.
Abstract:
An MRI device for providing high-contrast, high-resolution images of a fluid. The device includes: an envelope for at least partially confining the fluid; a plurality of magnets located at least partially around the envelope; and a CPU to process the images, including a computer readable medium containing instructions for generating at least one third image superimposing at least one image of the first images with at least one image of the second images, whereby a high-contrast, high-resolution real-time continuous images of the fluid is obtained.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses methods, gantry, and room's infrastructure for maneuvering a portable open-bore magnetic resonance device with no fringing of its magnetic field (MRD) from at least one first location towards at least one static patient placed at at least one second remote location. The gantry comprises a transporting mechanism; and, an open-bore MRD, interconnected to the gantry by at least one maneuverable member. The MRD, by means of the gantry, is transportable from the first location to the second remote location adjacent the static patient. The aperture of the MRD's open-bore, by means of said maneuverable member, is directable towards a defined spatially orientation facing the static patient.
