Abstract: Thermography of an ablation site is carried out by navigating a probe into contact with target tissue in the heart, obtaining a first position of a position sensor in the probe and acquiring a first magnetic resonance thermometry image of the target tissue. The method is further carried out during ablation by iteratively reading the position sensor to obtain second positions, and acquiring a new magnetic resonance thermometry image of the target tissue when the distance between the first position and one of the second positions is less than a predetermined distance. The images are analyzed to determine the temperature of the target tissue.

Abstract: A utility platform (110) holding solar modules (91) and supported by a ground support (90), that is reinforced by upper suspension elements (130) connected to extensions (120) of the ground support, and by lower taut cords (140) connected to a motor (150) controlling their lengths and tension. The upper suspension elements (130) are arranged to support a weight of the platform (110), and together with the taut cords (140) are arranged to maintain a form of the utility platform (110) at a range of specified orientations and under a range of wind intensities, by generating a resultant force that is opposite to a wind direction on an upwind side of the utility platform, the upwind side being either the upper side or the lower side, according to the wind direction and the specified orientation.

Abstract: A structural support and tracking system comprising a utility platform defining an X-Y plane and supported over a central support post defining a longitudinal axis Z being normal to the plane X-Y. The utility platform comprises at least three platform cord connection elements, at least three left ground cord connection elements associated with two left platform cord connection elements, and at least one right ground cord connection element associated with at least one right platform cord connection element (PCCE). A tension cord system wherein a cord extends from each platform cord connection element towards at least one corresponding ground cord connection elements, and a manipulating system for tilting the utility platform by tension adjustment of the cords.
