摘要： An electrical connector (1, 1′) straddle-mounted on an edge (20, 20′) of a printed circuit board (2, 2′) includes an insulative housing (10) having an elongated groove (11) for mating. A number of receiving channels (13) each used to receive a support subassembly (3, 3′) is formed adjacently to and communicated with the mating groove (11). The support subassembly includes a base (30, 30′) with signal terminals (5, 5′) and a grounding member (4, 4′) attached thereon. Every terminal includes an engaging end (51, 51′) exposed to the mating groove (11) and a tail end (52, 52′) extending out of the receiving channel (13). The grounding member includes a number of contacting legs (42, 42′) extending therefrom. A notch (34, 34′) with a thinned area is disposed on the base to define a separating portion (33, 33′) from the base. The notch is used to facilitate relocating the separating portion relative to the base. The separating portion of the base can be positioned between the tail ends of the terminals and the contacting legs of the grounding member to electrically insulate them from each other while the shape of the tail ends and the contacting legs are changeable for being mounted on another desired printed circuit board with a different thickness. The separating portion can be moved for the assembling of every terminal and the grounding member when they need to put together to form the support subassembly for being inserted into the housing.

摘要： Radio frequency (RF) shields used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus may experience gradient field induced eddy currents and RF field induced eddy currents. These eddy currents can cause the RF shield to heat up at an undesirable rate. RF shields are designed to have a desired degree of RF shielding and a desired heating attribute. Design goals for RF shields include gradient field transparency and RF field opacity, both of which can be influenced by eddy currents. Example methods identify a gradient field that will induce eddy currents and identify an RF field that will induce eddy currents. If a region on the RF shield is identified where the desired heating attribute will not be achieved, then a pattern of axial cuts and azimuthal cuts can be made in the RF shield to reduce gradient eddy current heating in the RF shield while maintaining desired RF shielding.

摘要翻译： 与磁共振成像（MRI）装置一起使用的射频（RF）屏蔽可能会经历梯度场感应涡流和射频场感应涡流。 这些涡流可以使RF屏蔽以不期望的速率加热。 RF屏蔽被设计为具有期望的RF屏蔽程度和期望的加热属性。 RF屏蔽的设计目标包括梯度场透明度和RF场不透明度，这两者都可以受涡流影响。 示例性方法识别将引起涡流的梯度场，并识别将产生涡流的RF场。 如果RF屏蔽上的区域被识别出将不能实现所需的加热属性，则可以在RF屏蔽中进行轴向切割和方位切割的图案，以减少RF屏蔽中的梯度涡流加热，同时保持所需的RF屏蔽 。

摘要： The present invention provides an apparatus for reducing acoustic noise in a magnetic resonance imaging device including passive shielding located outside the actively shielded gradient winding elements in order to reduce the magnitude of fields that spread outside the gradient coil assembly in unwanted directions and interact with the magnet cryostat or other metallic magnet parts, inducing eddy currents that cause consequent acoustic noise. The passive shielding elements are conducting layers located on the outer radius of the cylindrical gradient coil assembly in a cylindrical magnet system, conducting layers located at the ends of the gradient coil assembly in a cylindrical magnet system, and conducting layers located inside the actively shielded gradient winding inner elements in a cylindrical magnet system. The passive shielding could also be located on separate structures that are vibrationally isolated from the magnet cryostat. The actively shielded gradient winding can also be extended to portions at the ends of the actively shielded gradient winding and further to portions inside the inner radius of the inner portion of the actively shielded gradient winding. The actively shielded gradient windings and passive shielding should be designed concurrently in order to substantially optimize the gradient linearity and reduce the eddy currents generated in metallic parts of the magnetic resonance imaging system.

摘要： In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, a main magnet assembly (12) produces a uniform magnetic field through an imaging region (14). An imaging region is defined within a subject by selecting gradient magnetic fields spatially encode the main magnetic field. A whole body birdcage radio frequency coil (26) excites magnetic resonance in dipoles of the subject. The resonance signals are received by the whole body coil (26) and by a second, local birdcage radio frequency coil (16). The first radio frequency coil (26) produces and is sensitive to a uniform radio frequency field in the imaging region (14) while the second radio frequency coil (28) is sensitive to a field that varies sinusoidally in space. From one radio frequency excitation, the two birdcage coils (26, 16) receive different sets of data with which to fill k-space, accelerating data collection.
