20130278264 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DAMPING COMMON-MODE ENERGY - Systems and methods for damping cable common-mode energy in magnetic environments are provided. One system includes a damping arrangement having a transmission line within an electric (E) field environment and an energy damping device formed having a conductive plastic body and positioned adjacent a conductor of the transmission line. The energy damping device is configured to dampen common-mode energy induced within the transmission line by the E field environment. | 10-24-2013 |
20130293232 | STRUCTURED RF COIL ASSEMBLY FOR MRI SCANNER - An imaging apparatus that incorporates an RF coil assembly and RF shield as part of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system is disclosed. The imaging apparatus includes an MRI system having a plurality of gradient coils, an RF coil former having inner and outer surfaces, an RF shield positioned on the outer surface of the RF coil former so as to be formed about the RF coil former, and an RF coil positioned on the inner surface of the RF coil former, with the RF coil coupled to a pulse generator to emit an RF pulse sequence and receive resulting MR signals from a subject of interest. The RF coil former comprises a generally cylindrical member having an indented portion indented in a radial direction inwardly from the outer surface, with the RF shield conforming to the RF coil former so as to also have an indented portion. | 11-07-2013 |
20140194727 | COMPOSITE RF SHIELD AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - An imaging apparatus comprises an RF coil former comprising an inner surface and an outer surface and a composite RF shield positioned adjacently to the outer surface of the RF coil former so as to be formed about the RF coil former. The MRI system also comprises an RF coil positioned on the inner surface of the RF coil former. The RF coil former comprises a generally cylindrical member having an indented portion indented in a radial direction inwardly from the outer surface, and the composite RF shield comprises a first shield material positioned about the outer surface of the RF coil former, a second shield material position about the indented portion of the RF coil former, and a conformal shield material positioned about the RF coil former that electrically couples the first shield material to the second shield material. | 07-10-2014 |

20080272787 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-CHANNEL MR TRANSMISSION - A system and method for transmitting multiple radio frequency (RF) channels via an RF coil assembly are provided. An RF coil assembly having a number of coil elements may be configured to transmit a number of RF channels which is less than the number of coil elements thereof. Some implementations may use signal splitters for some or all of the RF channels to produce driving inputs for each coil element. By using more coil elements than RF channels, various embodiments may exhibit increased power efficiency and improved B1 uniformity. | 11-06-2008 |

20110161342 | BUSINESS OBJECT NODE ACCESS MANAGEMENT FOR SEARCH SERVICES IN A SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE - A system may include a database comprising stored data and a business process platform including business object metadata defining business objects representing the stored data. The business process platform may receive a query from a user to retrieve data from a first business object node of a business object, the business object representing stored data, determine whether the user is authorized to traverse all associations of a SELECT list of the query, determine whether the user is authorized to traverse all associations of a WHERE clause of the query, determine whether the user is authorized to retrieve any instances of each business object node of column specifications of the SELECT list of the query, and, if the determinations are affirmative, executing the query to retrieve a first result set. | 06-30-2011 |
20130166596 | USER INTERFACE MODEL DRIVEN DATA ACCESS CONTROL - According to one general aspect, a method of retrieving data entities from a backend data device may include maintaining a data model of data entities employed by a user interface. The data model may include a hierarchical relationship between a leading data entity and at least one child data entity. The method may also include authorizing, with an authorization device, when retrieving the leading data entity. The method may include instructing the authorization device that data retrievals of subsequent data entities are to be authorized based upon the authorization of the leading data entity. The method may also include retrieving at least one child data entity of the leading data entity without providing additional authorization credentials. | 06-27-2013 |
