  • Patent number: 11921182
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide accelerated MR thermometry utilizing prior knowledge about the images to be reconstructed from incomplete k-space data, thereby facilitating accurate reconstruction. In various embodiments, missing data is computationally estimated using a machine learning algorithm such as a neural network, and an image is generated based on iteratively updated estimated missing information.

  • Publication number: 20220126087
    Abstract: A system and/or method are disclosed to inhibit sorption to a surface in a biological medium and/or biofouling by means of an alternating electric field. For example, one or more insulated electrodes may be positioned near the surface. For example, insulation may limit electric current flow between the biological medium and the electrode and/or between the surface and the electrode and/or between the electrodes. In some embodiments, the alternating charge in the vicinity of the surface may inhibit the buildup of biological films and/or sorption to the surface. For example, the system may be used to inhibit fouling of an implanted medical device (e.g. a catheter).

  • Patent number: 11235265
    Abstract: A suction adapter for filtration systems is disclosed. The suction adapter is useful for filtration systems in which there are screen regions unapproachable by intake openings of nozzles of the suction scanner, such as the case with pleated screens. The suction adapter comprises a partitioning adapted to match within a space-extension of a predetermined size and shape, whereby being useful for tunneling a suction power from an intake opening of the suction scanner to a screen region unapproachable by the intake opening. A method for cleaning a filtration screen having screen regions gapped from a closest approach of an intake opening of a suction scanner is disclosed. The method comprises providing immovable tunneling means between the screen regions and a location of the closest approach, whereby tunneling a suction power of the suction scanner to respective spots on the screen regions when closely approached, respectively, by the intake opening.

  • Patent number: 9415331
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter is concerned with a screen-type filter element, and a method for its manufacture. The screen type filter comprises a substantially rigid screen-bearing skeleton and at least one fine screen sheet material extending within or over the skeleton and secured thereto by a plurality of enveloping ribs, the enveloping ribs being applied over one face of the filter screen sheet to thereby support it at discrete portions and secure it to the skeleton.
