20120112748 | Transceiver apparatus, system and methodology for superior In-Vivo imaging of human anatomy - The inventive subject matter as a whole is an improved transceiver apparatus and system for diagnostic evaluations of living subject, human or animal; and is particularly effective as a clinical tool for the spectroscopic scanning or magnetic resonance imaging of humans suspected of being afflicted with a particular disease, disorder, or pathology. The improved transceiver apparatus is used as an essential component in a computer controlled system suitable for magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”), or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (“MRS”), and/or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (“MRSI”); and the present improvement of these electromagnetic signaling systems will provide far more accurate and precise visual images and accumulated data for the clinician or surgeon, as well as serve as a basis upon which to make a diagnosis and decide upon a mode of therapeutic treatment for that individual. | 05-10-2012 |
20120223706 | Method and apparatus for generating an effective equivalent of simultaneous transmission to a targeted tissue using a conventional transceiver array - The present invention is a method and apparatus for generating an effective equivalent of a simultaneous transmission of excitation signals to a targeted living tissue using an existing MRI system assembly or transceiver apparatus which structurally has a small number of independent transmit channels in operative communication with a large number of individual transmission RF coils. The inventive methodology and apparatus is suitable for use with any conventionally known and used transceiver apparatus which operationally complies with the requisite difference existing between the lesser available numbers of independent transmission channels and the greater number of individual transmit RF coils. For this reason, the methodology is broadly and generally useful for many different applications of magnetic resonance imaging technology. | 09-06-2012 |
20130271144 | Magnetic-Resonance Transceiver-Phased Array that Compensates for Reactive and Resistive Components of Mutual Impedance between Array Elements and Circuit and Method Thereof - There is provided a novel method and circuit of compensating for cross-talk between pairs of adjacent array elements of a transceiver phased array and double-tuned transceiver arrays for a magnetic resonance system using a resonant inductive decoupling circuit. The geometry and size of the resonant inductive decoupling circuit allows for the decoupling circuit to compensate for the cross-talk between array elements, including the reactive and resistive components of the mutual impedance while being sufficiently small to not distort a RF magnetic field of the array elements produced within a sample. | 10-17-2013 |

20100023487 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY LINKING DATA SOURCES FOR PROVIDING DATA RELATED TO A QUERY - A computer-implemented method of linking a predefined set of electronic data sources comprises electronically identifying a query data item and one or more query dimensions based on a query statement, electronically determining first data sources in which at least one of one or more source fields is equivalent to the query data item, determining whether any one of the first data sources has the ability to provide the data related to the one or more query dimensions, and identifying one or more second data sources within the database corresponding to one or more of the first data sources if it is determined that the first data sources do not have the ability to provide data related to the one or more query dimensions. The one or more second data sources meet the following criteria: (1) one or more source fields of the one or more second data sources are equivalent to the one or more query dimensions not contained in the first data source; and (2) each source dimension of the one or more second data sources are either: (A) equivalent to a source field of the first source or (B) have values that are capable of being obtained from the query statement. One or more first data sources are linked with the corresponding one or more second data sources to generate one or more composite data sources to provide the necessary data in response to the query statement. | 01-28-2010 |
20100023501 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY SELECTING A DATA SOURCE FOR PROVIDING DATA RELATED TO A QUERY - A computer-implemented method of prioritizing a predefined set of electronic data sources, including the steps of: providing a database containing metadata related to the predefined set of electronic data sources, the metadata comprising, for each electronic data source, one or more source data items and one or more source dimensions; electronically receiving first signals at a processor, the first signals related to a query for a data value; electronically identifying a query data item and one or more query dimensions based on the query; electronically determining the data sources in which at least one of the one or more source data items is the same as the query data item; for each of the data sources in which at least one of the one or more source data items is the same as the query data item, electronically assigning a score to the data source based on at least the ability of the data source to provide data at the one or more query dimensions and the extent of aggregation necessary to provide the data; electronically and dynamically ranking the data sources based on the assigned scores; and electronically identifying one or more of the data sources having the highest rank as preferred data sources for locating the data value. | 01-28-2010 |
20100023503 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY SELECTING A DATA SOURCE FOR PROVIDING DATA RELATED TO A QUERY - A computer-implemented method of prioritizing a predefined set of electronic data sources includes a step of identifying one or more second data sources corresponding to one or more first data sources if it is determined that the first data sources do not have the ability to provide data related to one or more query dimensions of a query statement. The identified one or more second data sources meet the following criteria: (1) one or more source fields of the one or more second data sources are equivalent to the one or more query dimensions not contained in the first data source; and (2) each source dimension field of the one or more second data sources are either: (A) equivalent to a source field of the first source or (B) have values that are capable of being obtained from the query statement. The one or more first data sources are linked with the corresponding one or more second data sources to generate one or more composite data sources. Scores are electronically assigned to each of the composite data sources based on certain criteria, and the composite data sources are electronically and dynamically ranked based on the assigned scores. One or more of the composite data sources electronically identified as having the highest rank are selected as preferred data sources for locating the data value in response to the query statement. | 01-28-2010 |
