  • Patent number: 7414533
    Abstract: A system and method for optimally placing radio frequency identification (RFID) antennas. The system varies the placement of RFID tag and interrogator antennas with respect to each other and a stationary object or objects. A signal generator sends a known reference signal to the one or more RFID interrogator antennas. The signal is received by the one or more RFID tag antennas and is displayed upon an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer or other multipurpose signal measuring device. By this method, the system finds the optimal placement of the antennas with respect to each other and the object or objects.

  • Patent number: 6242919
    Abstract: A system for performing magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance therapy and a method for operating the system. The system may include one or several magnetic probes and a single common controller connectable to the probes for calibrating and operating any selected one of the probes. The controller is particularly adapted for being used with probes optimized for performing magnetic resonance imaging or magnetic resonance therapy of a single specific body organ or with probes adapted for imaging of various different body organs, but can also be used with probes optimized for whole body imaging. Each of the probes is pre-calibrated and associated with a pre-calibration parameter set included in a probe-specific software program provided with each probe. The controller is used for selecting one of the probes, automatically calibrating the selected probe and operating the selected probe by using the pre-calibration parameter set and the specific software program of the selected probe.

  • Patent number: 6157281
    Abstract: Permanent magnet assemblies are disclosed for use in medical applications, particularly permanent magnet assemblies for use in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and/or Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MRT) to produce a volume of substantially uniform magnetic field in a restricted part of the patient's body in a region either adjacent to the surface of one permanent magnet assembly or between a set of a first and second permanent magnet assemblies, leaving open access to the patient's body. The assemblies consist of a plurality of annular concentric magnets spaced-apart along their axis of symmetry. A method for constructing such annular permanent magnetic assemblies is disclosed, using equi-angular segments permanently magnetized.

  • Patent number: 6150911
    Abstract: Yoked permanent magnets are disclosed for use in medical applications, particularly permanent magnets for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance therapy (MRT), and interventional magnetic resonance imaging (IMRI) to produce a volume of substantially uniform magnetic field in a part or organ of a patient's body disposed in an open region between a set of a first and second opposing permanent magnet assemblies, leaving open access to a part or organ of a patient's body. Each of the assemblies consists of a plurality of coaxial concentric permanent magnets. The magnets within each of the assemblies may be spaced-apart along their common axis of symmetry and may be tilted with respect to the common axis of symmetry. The magnets include an open yoke made from a ferromagnetic material for increasing the magnetic field strength within the imaging volume by providing a path for closing magnetic flux lines of the opposing permanent magnet assemblies.
