Abstract: A power transmitter for wirelessly providing power to a power receiver comprises an output circuit comprising a transmitter coil generating a power transfer signal when a drive signal is applied to the output circuit. A load function circuit determines a load function that describes a dependency of a loading of the drive signal by the output circuit on a frequency of the drive signal for the power transmitter and power receiver arrangement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of Dixon-type MR imaging. The object (10) is subjected to a dual- or multi-acquisition imaging sequence comprising a series of temporally equidistant RF pulses. An echo signal is generated in the presence of a readout magnetic field gradient in each time interval (TR) between successive RF pulses, with the echo time varying between at least a first value (TE1) associated with a first acquisition (ACQ1) and a second value (TE2) associated with a second acquisition (ACQ2). The invention proposes that at least one of the magnetic field gradients preceding and/or succeeding the readout magnetic field gradient in each time interval (TR) is temporally shifted, varied in duration and/or varied in amplitude between time intervals (TR). In this way, a reduction of the acoustic noise generated by the multi-acquisition Dixon sequence and, thus, of the discomfort for patients undergoing a corresponding examination is achieved.
