  • Patent number: 11000254
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically adjusting a position of a table configured to be positioned in a bore of a medical imaging device. The table may be adjusted according to one or more of a table elevation, an anatomical reference, and a start scan location. The table elevation, anatomical reference, and start scan location may be obtained from a selected imaging protocol.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 11, 2021
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Mark Vincent Profio, Adam Pautsch, Darin Robert Okerlund, Scott McOlash, Vijay Subramanian
  • Patent number: 10555707
    Abstract: A patient support system includes a support beam that may translocate along an axial axis of a medical imaging system. At least a portion of the support beam may be disposed within a central bore of the medical imaging system. The patient support system also includes a patient support removably coupled to the support beam and including a backing that may support a patient during an imaging procedure and a restraint extending a longitudinal length of the backing. The restraint includes a first end coupled to the backing and a second end that may be removably coupled to the support beam, and the restraint may secure the patient support to the support beam and to restrain the patient within the patient support.

  • Patent number: 7757497
    Abstract: A spray cooling system includes a spray delivery device and a cooling liquid delivered to the spray delivery device. The spray delivery device includes one or more inlet apertures and one or more corresponding outlet apertures, at least one pair of inlet aperture and corresponding outlet aperture being positioned relative to each so as to form an asymmetric non-uniform density full-cone spray pattern.

  • Publication number: 20070230126
    Abstract: A cooling system and method that significantly improves spray evaporative cooling by using a mixture of cooling fluids having different boiling points. The cooling fluid mixture is sprayed onto a surface to be cooled. Efficient cooling with reduced cooling fluid volume is provided by both evaporation of the more volatile component of the mixture as well as heating of the less volatile component which remains in contact with the surface being cooled. More uniform temperatures across the surface being cooled and a reduced risk of potentially damaging critical heat flux is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20060196627
    Abstract: A cooling system and method that significantly improves spray evaporative cooling by using arrays of slot or plane sprays to create coverage of the entire heated surface to be cooled without allowing interaction between plumes that are spraying from the nozzles. The sprays are directed at an angle to the surface to take advantage of the high droplet momentum possessed by the spray to direct a flow of coolant fluid across the surface toward desired draining points, thereby enabling drainage regardless of the orientation of the unit.
