    摘要: An automatic circuit controller for cooking food interposed between electrodes connected with a source of AC by electrical resistance in which the resistance increases until the food is cooked and rapidly declines is formed by a current switching element in series in one wire of the AC source and a current sensing element in series in another wire of the AC source. The sensed current is rectified, reduced in voltage, converted from analog to digital and applied to a microprocessor connected with the switching element for controlling the current applied to the food by delaying the time into every half cycle in response to current measuring circuitry and a zero crossing detector for triggering the switching element on. The microprocessor detects the current peak of electrical resistance of the food and stops the cooking action when the current declines to a predetermined percent of the peak.

    摘要: A high precision alignment apparatus is provided that utilizes a semiconductor laser device, such as a laser diode, to provide a source laser beam. The alignment apparatus permits the division of a pair of beam components from the source laser beam useful for either linear or planar alignment. A centroid measurement between the beam components provides a corrected reference point that accounts for the inherent instability of the source laser beam to yield a high level of alignment accuracy. For linear alignment purposes, the beam components are collinearly directed. In the alternative, for planar alignment purposes, the beam components may be either collinear or directed in opposite directions, and rotated to sweep respective planar regions. The laser alignment apparatus is capable of providing a level of accuracy heretofore achievable only with gas lasers, while maintaining the economical attributes of commercial semiconductor laser diodes.

    摘要: An optical system for individually testing each one of a plurality of fibers for continuity. Each fiber having a proximal end and a distal end with a dichroic reflector at each distal end reflective of wavelengths respective to a source of testing light and transmissive to other wavelengths. The selection of which fiber is to be tested is only a matter of manipulating a rotator element which has the capacity to rotate the angle of polarization by 90 degrees. The polarization of the light determines the respective fiber to be tested.

    摘要: In preferred embodiments, a fast spin echo imaging technique is provided that is insensitive to violations of the Carr Purcell Meiboom Gill (CPMG) condition. Diffusion gradients disrupt the CPMG condition, and, hence, the present fast spin echo method is compatible with diffusion measurements and diffusion weighted imaging. The preferred embodiments of the present technique involve splitting of spin echoes into echo pairs. Spin echoes are split by adjustment (in magnitude or duration) of an initial readout gradient pulse. A train of echo pairs is captured. A first image is constructed using the first echoes of each pair. Also, a second image is constructed using the second echoes of each pair. Hybrid radial Cartesian methods are used for constructing the first and second images. The first and second images are constructed independently of one another. Independent image construction renders the method insensitive to violation of the CPMG condition. Finally, the two images are combined to form a final image.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for correcting image artefacts caused by variations in the main magnetic field of an MRI system are disclosed, particularly for MRI with steady-state spin precession. For field correction in MRI with steady-state spin precession, the effects of the field changes can be corrected by quantifying the time course of the field drifts by repeated acquisition of the zero k-space lines. The change in the phase between consecutive zero k-space lines is used as an indicator of field variation and for correction of associated image artifacts. By using for field correction the zero k-space lines acquired using the imaging sequence itself, the steady-states of spin precession are undisturbed throughout the MRI data acquisition.

    摘要: A sealing apparatus for applying seals, such as valves, over a pressure relief passage of a container. Displaceable retention members, positioned next to a platen having an applicator surface, releasably secure one or more seals adjacent the applicator surface prior to attachment to the container. A seal attachment element moves the applicator surface toward and into a seal attachment position adjacent the container. As the applicator surface moves, the displaceable retention members release to, in turn, effectuate attachment of the seals over the pressure relief passage. A retraction element operatively attached to the platen causes return movement of the applicator surface and, in turn, return of the displaceable retention members back into a seal retaining position.

    摘要: Continuously updated real-time magnetic resonance imaging processes are used to display an MR image volume to an operator and/or patient co-located with the MRI magnet, viewing console and other elements of an MRI system within the same shielded gantry room. A CRT display may be used for lower field MRI systems while liquid crystal displays may be necessary for higher field MRI systems since the viewing console is to be co-located within the shielded gantry room near the MRI magnet assembly. Suitable RF shielding is provided to RF-isolate the viewing console and its related power and video signal cables from the MRI RF coils being used to monitor relatively weak NMR signals emanating from the image volume within the magnet assembly. When used with open access MRI magnet assemblies, such real-time viewing of the image volume within the gantry room permits performance of simultaneous patient procedures guided by real-time visual feedback to the patient and/or doctor, nurse, patient attendant and the like while located within the gantry room and having direct access to the patient anatomy within the image volume.
