    摘要: Provided is a method for removing noise of a positron emission tomography (PET) signal in a PET-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion device without using an MRI radio frequency (RF) shield that degrades image quality. The method includes: (a1) converting a PET analog signal into a digital signal having a predetermined sampling frequency; (b1) determining whether the resulting PET digital signal is to be included in image reconstruction based on modeling using sampling points of the PET digital signal or an integration value of the PET digital signal; and (c1) extracting only the PET digital signal that will be included in image reconstruction. The method allows acquisition of molecular-level images without declined performance of a PET detector.

    摘要: Provided is a method for removing noise of a positron emission tomography (PET) signal in a PET-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) fusion device without using an MRI radio frequency (RF) shield that degrades image quality. The method includes: receiving a PET output signal from a PET-MRI fusion device and performing analog filtering by removing noise components due to an RF pulse frequency based on the relationship between the frequency of the PET output signal and a magnetic resonance (MR) RF frequency (Larmor frequency); and converting the filtered signal into a digital signal through sampling. The method allows acquisition of molecular-level images without declined performance of a PET detector in MRI environment.

    摘要: A magnetic levitation imitation flame device includes a mounting base, a flame member, a positioning bracket, a first magnet, and a second magnet. The positioning bracket is fixed in the mounting base. The first magnet is disposed on the flame member. The flame member is disposed on the positioning bracket and protrudes outwards from the mounting base. The second magnet is fixed at a lower end of the positioning bracket. The first magnet and the second magnet are arranged up and down. Magnetic poles thereof facing each other have same polarity so that the flame member is levitated relative to the positioning bracket under a repulsive force of the first magnet and the second magnet. Thus, the flame member swings with big angle, naturally and realistically, and saves electric energy. In addition, an imitation flame lamp is also provided.

    摘要: Technologies are generally described for techniques useful in an interferometer system. In some examples, a system may include a first waveguide effective to propagate a first wave in a first mode. In some examples, the system may include a second waveguide effective to, in response to the first wave, propagate second and third waves in second and third modes, respectively. In some examples, the second waveguide may be effective to reflect the second and third waves off a reflection surface to produce first, second, third and fourth reflected waves. In some examples, the second waveguide may be effective to propagate the first and third reflected waves in the second mode and propagate the second and fourth reflected waves in the third mode.
