Abstract: An operating system for a motor vehicle door includes a handle that is displaceable between a latching position, a first unlatching position and a second unlatching position. The operating system also includes a latch mechanism including a latch and a cooperating receiver. The operating system further includes a mechanical connection feature connecting the handle to the latch whereby the motor vehicle door may be unlatched by displacing the handle.

Abstract: A vehicle distance advise system includes a first housing section including a first reflective strip and a first warning device connected to the first reflective strip, and a second housing section removably connected to the first housing section. The distance advise system may be connected to a vehicle and then set-up to alert other vehicle drivers of the presence of an immobilized vehicle.

Abstract: A matching circuit for a RF coil on an MRI device is disclosed. The matching circuit includes a variable neutralizing inductance on the output side of the matching circuit ground breaker. All variable components are removed from the coil trace board, providing greater access to the tuning components during the MRI operation.

Abstract: An adjustable holder for a magnetic resonance imaging RF surface coil for imaging a part of the body such as the temporomandibular joint. Elements are provided for positioning and securing the RF surface coil at a first predetermined point along a longitudinal axis of the holder and for positioning and securing the RF surface coil at a second predetermined point transverse to the longitudinal axis and at a radial distance R from the longitudinal axis. The preferred embodiment provides orbital movement of the surface coil about the longitudinal axis using a pair of U-shaped runner guides disposed substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis and adjustable clamps in cooperative engagement with the runner guides. The surface coil may be adjusted along a path transverse to the longitudinal axis by way of an adjustable shaft or arm which can be moved inwardly and outwardly, and the surface coil can be pivoted in a step-wise manner using a pivot head having a plurality of equally spaced detents.
