Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing MRI images with the following features: Magnetic resonance images are acquired using an MRI system. These images can be used to determine the relaxation times of protons and can be displayed as parametric maps (110, 111, 112). Various other contrasts can be synthesized by combining T1, T2 and PD values and varying the scan parameters using Bloch equations or modifications (104). The images thus synthesized will be displayed in the appropriate display. The entire process can be implemented even as a client-side software programme or even as a web based application.

In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs, position data with respect to at least one of a movement, an altitude, or a geo-spatial location of an aircraft; identifying, by the plurality of in-flight WMSs, one or more elevated in-flight WMSs for receiving the media content. The method for identifying further includes determining a respective content-reception state of each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs; determining a respective content-reception suitability score for each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs; and identifying the one or more elevated in-flight WMSs. The method further includes receiving, by each of the one or more elevated in-flights WMSs, the media content from a suitable CCDN server in the CCDN.

Abstract: A fast drying, heavy metal-free, high performance coating composition with outstanding UV resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance coupled with fast dry and long pot life. This coating can be applied over DTM, such as blasted cold rolled steel, or treated cold rolled steel, aluminum and treated aluminum. High corrosion resistance without sacrificing gloss or UV resistance achieved by selecting proper pigments and proper pigment design and packing by advantageously utilizing differing pigment morphologies (sizes and shape).

Abstract: A housing system for heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) equipment includes a housing configured to shroud the HVAC equipment and also includes a plurality of louver panels disposed on the housing. Each louver panel of the plurality of louver panels is configured to translate between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, each louver panel of the plurality of louver panels is configured to permit airflow between an interior of the housing and an ambient environment. In the open position, each louver panel of the plurality of louver panels is configured to permit increased airflow between the interior of the housing and the ambient environment when the louver panel is in the open position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system including a heating coil and an actuation system configured to couple to the heating coil. The actuation system is configured to rotatably position the heating coil in a first orientation crosswise to an airflow path in a heating mode, and rotatably position the heating coil in a second orientation substantially removed from the airflow path in a cooling mode.

Abstract: Compositions, methods, and systems for mitigating annular pressure buildup in a wellbore. A method comprises introducing a spacer fluid into an annulus of the wellbore, wherein the spacer fluid comprises an aqueous base fluid, an acid swellable polymer, and a hydrolysable ester. The method further comprises allowing or causing to allow at least a portion of the spacer fluid to remain in the annulus; and allowing or causing to allow a temperature to increase in the annulus to the temperature sufficient to hydrolyze the hydrolysable ester; wherein hydrolysis of the hydrolysable ester produces an acid; wherein the acid reacts with the acid swellable polymer to produce a salt; and wherein the produced salt has a thermal expansion coefficient less than that of the aqueous base fluid.
