    摘要: A gradient amplifier for use in magnetic resonance imaging equipment employs a low voltage DC power supply connected in series between a pair of higher voltage DC power supplies, the latter supplies serving to provide increased power for rapid gradient switching and the former supply providing correction current to produce the desired voltage output. The high voltage DC power supplies preferably comprise multiple DC units which can be combined to provide finer steps of control prior to correction by the lower voltage supply. The low voltage DC power supply preferably comprise one or more linear amplifiers connected in series, or one or more switchmode amplifiers connected in series. The DC power supplies are controlled in an open loop manner from a gradient signal that designates the desired current for the gradient coil and the amplifiers are operated in a closed loop responding to to a feedback signal from the gradient coil.

    摘要: A gradient current speed-up circuit, for use in a higher-speed NMR imaging system having an associated gradient coil, has a gradient power amplifier receiving an input analog signal controlling amplifier output current, and a transformer having a primary winding and a pair of secondary windings connected in series with the amplifier output and the coil. Semiconductor switching elements selectively connect the primary winding between first and second potential sources, and are turned on and off in selected patterns to cause a current to be suddenly applied to, and removed from, flow through the associated gradient coil; the amplifier output current is changed with the gradient coil current lags behind an amplitude commanded by a master input signal.

    摘要: Switching losses and conduction losses are isolated by networks which are partially cryogenic and partially at room temperature. Switching losses are independent of temperature. Advantageously the switching losses are taken in a snubber network at room temperature and conduction losses are incurred at cryogenic temperatures, where majority carrier devices like MOSFETs operate with ultra low on-state resistance and corresponding low conduction losses. Low loss leads carry current efficiently from the cryogenic environment to room temperature without adversely affecting refrigeration. Switch and snubber network may both operate cryogenically.

    摘要: An ultra compact ring topology puts the output terminals of solid state switches physically at the center of a circuit with the switches surrounded by voltage busses. The switches are symmetrically arranged around the output bus, the voltage busses are filtered (decoupled) to ground using symmetrically positioned filter components, and lead lengths to and from the switches are minimized. Switch driver circuits are closely integrated with each switch and positioned as close as possible, each to its associated switch, and arranged symmetrically. Switches may be at cryogenic temperatures and busses and lead connectors may be superconductive.

    摘要: A resonant inverter is operated in a manner to provide a substantially constant output voltage to a load. The inverter is controlled using either a frequency control mode or a phase shift control mode. In the frequency control mode, a constant output voltage is maintained through frequency variation of the rectangular wave signal applied to the resonant circuit of the inverter. In the phase shift control mode, constant output voltage is maintained by phase shifting one component signal of the rectangular wave signal relative to another component signal thereof while maintaining constant the frequency of both component signals. Mode switching occurs automatically at the extremities of the operating frequency range of controllable switch means in the resonant inverter.

    摘要: A multipole permanent magnet rotor is positioned on a shaft and rotatably mounted in a multiphase stator having two windings per stator phase. A distributor comprising a pattern of conducting and non-conducting material is mounted to turn with the rotor shaft. Pickup "fingers" in contact with the distributor, gate appropriate FET's of the pairs of FET's associated with each stator phase in sequence, with timing dependent on the instantaneous shaft position, to generate a rotating flux field. A voltage across the windings provides the current for flux generation, and can be supplied by a full wave rectified single phase AC source. The speed of rotation of the motor can be controlled by varying the voltage supplied.
