20100191099 | MOTION-ATTENUATED CONTRAST-ENHANCED CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING AND RELATED METHOD THEREOF - A system and method for providing a dark-blood technique for contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance, improving visualization of subendocardial infarcts or perfusion abnormalities that may otherwise be difficult to distinguish from the bright blood pool. In one technique the dark-blood preparation is performed using a driven-equilibrium fourier transform (DEFT) preparation with motion sensitizing gradients which attenuate the signal in the ventricular cavities related to incoherent phase losses resulting from non-steady flow within the heart. This dark-blood preparation preserves the underlying contrast characteristics of the pulse sequence causing a myocardial infarction to be bright while rendering the blood pool dark. When applied to perfusion imaging, this dark-blood preparation will help eliminate artifacts resulting from the juxtaposition of a bright ventricular cavity and relatively dark myocardium. | 07-29-2010 |

20120267310 | E-BEAM TECHNOLOGY FOR WATER TREATMENT - The present invention concerns a method of using Electron-beam technology to remove recalcitrant organic matter and/or volatile organic compounds from a target water sample or other fluid samples. A fluid is directed into a first vessel; and a beam of electrons from an electron beam generator is used to irradiate the fluid. Specifically, once the water is loaded into a first vessel and the organic contaminants are absorbed to saturation levels, a control sensor initiates influent water to be directed to a second vessel while the first vessel is isolated and desorbed using an energy means such as heat or microwave. The desorbed materials are directed through a common manifold containing an E-beam. The E-beam is then used to destroy organic matter desorbed from the first vessel. VOCs may be treated in this way as well, or they may be treated directly without first sorbing and desorbing prior to irradiation. | 10-25-2012 |
