20140129611 | System and Method for Accessing Mainframe System Automation from a Process Automation Application - A system and computer-implemented method communicatively interfaces a Process Automation (PA) application executing on a mainframe computer with a mainframe automation function executing on the mainframe computer. The PA application executes within a services layer, which runs on top of a base Operating System (OS) layer of the mainframe computer. Some automation functions execute within the base OS layer, while other automation functions within the services layer. Therefore, an interface executing within the services layer determines which of the two disparate execution environments is needed to execute a given mainframe automation function, and invokes the function within the appropriate environment. | 05-08-2014 |

20130134979 | Volume Array Coil with Enforced Uniform Element Currents for Improved Excitation Homogeneity - Each of the coils in a transmit coil array of a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is electrically connected to a common voltage point by a transmission line. By controlling the electrical length of the transmission line connecting each of the coils to the common voltage point to an odd integer multiple of one quarter wavelength, the current delivered to each coil is independent of coil impedance. This principle of forced current excitation enables equal currents to be delivered to each coil of a magnetic resonance imaging transmit coil array regardless of the unique loading of the individual coils and mutual impedance between the coils. | 05-30-2013 |
