| 20100079139 | CIRCUIT AND APPARATUS FOR DECOUPLING RF SURFACE COILS - A decoupling circuit for a radio frequency (RF) surface coil having a plurality of tuning capacitors includes at least two decoupling points and a DC source coupled to the at least two decoupling points. Each decoupling point is associated with one of the plurality of tuning capacitors. Each decoupling point includes a decoupling inductor connected in parallel with a tuning capacitor, a diode connected in series with the decoupling inductor and in parallel with the tuning capacitor, a resistor connected in parallel with the diode and at least one isolating inductor connected between the resistor and the diode to RF isolate the resistor. The value of the resistor in each decoupling point is selected to maintain a high quality factor (Q) of the RF surface coil and to reduce the switching speed of the decoupling circuit. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20110074425 | APPARATUS FOR FEEDING A MAGNETIC RESONANCE COIL ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A method, system, and apparatus including a magnetic resonance (MR) coil system that includes an MR coil element, a high input Pre-amplifier having a high input impedance field-effect-transistor (FET) with an impedance of one of substantially equal to 500 ohms and greater than 500 ohms, and a conductive path. The conductive path has a first end coupled to the MR coil element and a second end coupled to the high input Pre-amplifier such that the MR coil element is coupled in series with the high input Pre-amplifier. Further, the conductive path is free of a matching network intervening between the MR coil element and the high input Pre-amplifier. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20110094132 | Greeting Cards with Three-Dimensional Images and Viewing Glasses - A three-dimensional greeting card having anaglyph or stereographic images and/or text printed thereon that may be viewed using 3D filter glasses that are releasably attached to the body of the greeting card. The glasses are attached along a perforation located along one edge of the greeting card. The glasses contain two film lenses, each lens being a different color. The images and/or text printed upon the greeting card body contain two superimposed images that are each made of a specific color that will be viewed differently behind each film lens contained in the 3D glasses. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20100206862 | Portable sterilizing towel warmer - The present invention comprises a portable apparatus for warming and sterilizing a towel or other fabric article. Provided is an enclosure having at least five sides an opening at the top and means for using the unit in either a free standing or hanging configuration. The present invention is formed of lightweight heat resistant material, the invention's overall size is only slightly larger than that of a standard bath towel, and moreover, the overall size and weight of the device are conducive to travel and allow the unit to be stored compactly under a bed or in a small closet when not in use. The device features a door, a pivoting towel support with integrated heating means and a sterilizing means. | 08-19-2010 |
