摘要:
An interface that couples a surface coil array having N receiving elements to an NMR scanner having M preamplifier inputs. The interface includes an RF switch array and a transmit/receive bias circuit. The RF switch array and the transmit/receive bias circuit are controlled by a control logic circuit. In response to a predetermined input, the control logic circuit causes a predetermined subset of the N receiving elements to be couple to the preamplifier inputs of the NMR scanner. Preferably, N may be larger than M.

A circuit for selectively disabling and enabling n-coils includes n-drivers in a totem-pole configuration. Each of the n-drivers includes two transistors whose control terminals connect at a common node. Each n-driver is used to operate one of the n-coils by being responsive at its common node to (i) a coil disable signal by activating one transistor thereof and deactivating the other transistor thereof thereby drawing current away from and thus disabling its corresponding coil and allowing current to flow through the one transistor and thus be available as a source of current to a successive one of the n-drivers and (ii) a coil enable signal by deactivating the one transistor thereof and activating the other transistor thereof thereby allowing current to flow serially through its corresponding coil and the other transistor thus enabling its corresponding coil and to be available as a source of current to the successive n-driver.

A method is provided for imaging a vasculature of a patient using an MRI system with an array of local coils. The method includes thestep of providing a housig by which (I) a first plurality of the coils is arrayed along an anterior surface of the patient, (II) a second plurality of the coils is arrayed along a posterior surface of the patient, and (III) the patient is oriented such that portions of the vasculature between and including the renal and feet portions thereof are aligned substantially coplanarly. The method also includes the step of injecting a contrast agent into the patient. The method further involves acquiring images of the vasculature from approximately the renal portion thereof to an including the feet portion thereof so that the images of the portions of the vasculature are acquired successively in timed relation to a progression of the contrast agent therethrough.

A method for operating an automobile includes the steps of a) detecting an object in an environment of the automobile with an environmental detection device; b) evaluating a collision risk of the automobile with the object; and c) depending on the evaluation, adjusting the steering angle of the automobile with a steering angle actuating device. The steering wheel is decoupled with the decoupling device depending on the adjustment performed in step c), so that the rotation of the steering wheel caused by the adjustment of the steering angle is smaller than if the same adjustment were made when the steering wheel is not decoupled.

A circuit for selectively disabling and enabling n-coils includes n-drivers disposed in a totem-pole configuration. Each of the n-drivers includes two FETs whose gates connect at a common node therefor. Each n-driver is used to operate one of the n-coils by being responsive at its common node to (i) a coil disable signal by activating one FET thereof and deactivating the other FET thereof drawing current away from and thus disabling its corresponding coil and allowing current to flow through the one FET and thus be available as a source of current to a successive one of the n-drivers and (ii) a coil enable signal by deactivating the one FET thereof and activating the other FET thereof thereby allowing current to flow serially through its corresponding coil and the other FET thus enabling its corresponding coil and to be available as a source of current to the successive n-driver.
摘要:
A device sets at least one operating parameter of at least one vehicle system of a motor vehicle. The device has at least one movement detection apparatus for determining the movement of at least one person located inside or in the vicinity of the motor vehicle, which movement detection apparatus is designed to determine at least one person-specific movement information item using at least one person-specific movement signal which is supplied by a person-side movement sensor system and relates to the movement of the person. The device is designed to set the at least one operating parameter of the at least one vehicle system using the person-specific movement information item. The device also has a memory in which certain settings of an operating parameter of a vehicle system are assigned to certain person-specific movement information items.

A motor vehicle has a position detection device and a control device. The position detection device detects a piece of position information that describes the position of at least one occupant of the motor vehicle and/or of a mobile terminal, particularly a mobile telephone, that is associable or associated with the occupant within the motor vehicle by taking account of a position of the mobile terminal and/or of a piece of registration information delivered by the mobile terminal. The control device is designed to set at least one operating parameter of a vehicle system by taking account of a piece of control information delivered by the mobile terminal and of the position information and/or to transmit at least one piece of operating information that influences at least one function of the mobile terminal to the mobile terminal on the basis of the position information.
