  • Publication number: 20250085374
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to gradient delay time correction of magnetic resonance data. For recording the magnetic resonance data, use is made of a three-dimensional recording technique with linear recording trajectories oriented in different readout directions of a readout plane that is perpendicular to a partition direction. Calibration data is recorded which covers a plurality of partitions in partition direction and which describes readout-direction-dependent shifts, caused by delay effects, of measurement points, e.g. sampled k-space sections in the k-space. Correction data is determined by evaluating the calibration data, and the magnetic resonance data is corrected on the basis of the correction data in order to compensate for the delay effects. The calibration data, which covers a coverage region in partition direction, is recorded in a resolved manner in partition direction, and at least one acceleration technique is applied in the partition direction during the recording of the calibration data.

  • Publication number: 20250085373
    Abstract: In method for MR imaging, an MR signal is acquired for each of a plurality of readout gradient pulses during a respective readout period and an MR image is generated on the basis thereof. A start time of the respective readout period relative to a start time of the respective readout gradient pulse is delayed by a delay duration which is selected randomly or pseudo-randomly from two or more predefined time values, and/or to generate the MR image, the acquired MR signals are processed, wherein the processing includes a frequency conversion based around a center frequency which is randomly or pseudo-randomly selected from two or more predetermined frequency values.

  • Patent number: 12235462
    Abstract: An optical arrangement converts a laser beam into a line-type beam having a line-type beam cross-section that extends along a line direction with a non-vanishing intensity. The arrangement has: reshaping optics having: an input aperture through which the laser beam is radiated in; and an elongate output aperture, the reshaping optics being configured such that the laser beam radiated in is converted into a beam packet with beam segments that emerge through the output aperture; homogenization optics, which contribute to the conversion of the beam packet into the line-type output beam, and by which different beam segments are mixed and superposed along the line direction; and redirection optics configured to redirect the laser beam such that an incidence position/direction of laser beam on the input aperture is changed in dependence on time.

  • Patent number: 12035514
    Abstract: A liquid cooling device with a main body has a planar surface for the arrangement of a power semiconductor device. This main body has a first end face and a second end face opposite said first one, and a plurality of tubular cooling recesses extending from the first to the second end face. A first swirling element arranged in an associated cooling recess, wherein the swirling element has an operative section arranged within the associated cooling recess and a locking section, wherein the locking section interacts with a locking abutment and/or with a further swirling element, and therefore prevents rotation of the operative section in the associated recess.

  • Patent number: 10312213
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power semiconductor device with a substrate with a cooling device and power semiconductor components connected thereon, having load current terminal elements and a cooling device. Pressure devices have a pressure element is arranged movably in a direction normal (N) to the substrate, and an elastic deformation element between the pressure element and a load current terminal element. The pressure element presses the assigned load current terminal element against an electrically conductive contact area of the substrate via the elastic deformation element and provides electrically conductive pressure contacting of the assigned load current terminal element with the substrate. The electrical connection of the power semiconductor device is improved.
