Publication number: 20240080559Abstract: In one aspect of the present disclosure, a gimbal assembly is described for use with an image capturing device. The gimbal assembly includes a motor assembly, a first housing defining an internal compartment that is configured and dimensioned to receive the motor assembly, and a second housing that is mechanically connected to the motor assembly such that actuation of the motor assembly causes relative rotation between the first and second housings. The first housing includes a first guide that is configured and dimensioned to support transmission media adapted to communicate electrical and/or digital signals. The second housing defines a channel that is configured and dimensioned to receive the first guide such that the first guide extends into the second housing through the channel. The transmission media is supported on the first guide such that the first guide routes the transmission media from the first housing into the second housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Austin Appel, Himay Shukla, Kielan C.

Publication number: 20170160368Abstract: A method of calibrating a RF power of a magnetic resonance imaging system is provided. With a fixed time-domain length of RF pulses, a RF pulse amplitude having a larger step size increment is selected to perform a traversal scanning to obtain FID signal values corresponding to different RF pulse amplitudes. In subsequent traversal scanning, the step size is continuously scaled down, and a start value and an end value are re-determined to continuously narrow a range for the subsequent traversal scanning, which may quickly and accurately determine a RF pulse amplitude corresponding to a 90° flip angle that can be obtained from a RF pulse amplitude corresponding to a maximum FID signal value in a last traversal scanning. A linear relationship between a flip angle and a RF pulse amplitude is obtained according to the 90° flip angle and its corresponding RF pulse amplitude for calibrating a RF power.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2016Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Jianhua Shi, Hongbing Hu, Haiquan Li, Lin Wu, Hongwei WNAG, Rong SUN, Yan WANG, Hong ZUO
