摘要： An improved method for counting irregular or unsymmetrical shaped articles that allows greater precision and provides enhanced features over current counting devices and methods. The method improves upon current devices and methods by providing a more precise volume for each article by using actual cross sectional areas of articles. The improved method also allows the user to count broken or incomplete articles as “partial” volumes. These partial volumes may be added to one another to give a precise total batch volume. The actual cross sectional areas may also be used to allow the user to display three dimensional adaptations of each article counted. Because this information is stored, the articles may be displayed at any time after the articles are scanned. The improved method also allows a user to determine the distance between articles, by using the counting device, and, using this information, adjust the feed rate of the device to an optimum feed rate.

摘要： The present invention relates to a housing for a radiofrequency receive coil for magnetic resonance imaging. The housing is designed for a coil wherein the patient lies on top of the coil in the prone position. The housing includes a base portion, a body portion and at least two wing portions. The base and body portions are generally constructed from a rigid material, while the wing portions are constructed from a flexible material. The wing portions may be connected using a connection strap, that applies tension to the wing portions to flex the wing portions in closer vicinity to the patient's body for optimal imaging.

摘要： A manual tool for rolling and positioning a mass of material. More particular, for use with rolls of stratified materials having a central core. The tool when inserted into the central core of such stratified rolls articulates in a manner so as to allow a cleat member to grip the outer perimeter of the roll and thereby allows the workman to apply leverage to the mass causing rotation. Repeated articulated movements allows the tool to be operated in a ratcheting manner.
