  • Patent number: 10625300
    Abstract: A method for thermochemically treating a part while masking a portion and corresponding mask are provided. The method includes the steps of providing a mask comprising a body with a seat, at least a deformable sealing washer located in the seat, and a tightening bushing, the body having a cavity, placing a first portion of the part in the cavity, a second portion of the part being located in a passage in the sealing washer, and a third portion of the part being located outside the mask, moving the tightening bushing to its tightened position so that the sealing washer is deformed and applied against the second portion of the part, and applying a thermochemical treatment to the third portion of the part.

  • Patent number: 10231671
    Abstract: A circuit (32) for use in an magnetic resonance (MR) system to reduce MR interference of a physiological signal S(f) includes a first summing/subtraction node (36), a high pass filter (40), and a second summing/subtraction node (42). The first summing/subtraction node (36) inputs a first signal (34) including radio frequency magnetic interference N(f) and a physiological signal S(f), and a second signal (38) including the physiological signal S(f) and an error signal E(f), and subtractively combines the second signal with the first signal to generate a difference signal N(f)?E(f). The high pass filter (40) filters the difference signal N(f)?E(f) from the first summing/subtraction node. The second summing/subtraction node (42) subtractively combines the first signal S(f)+N(f) (34) and the filtered signal H(f)*[N(f)?E(f)] from the high pass filter, and generates the second signal S(f)+E(f) (38).
