Abstract: Techniques provide for passive Q switching in a bimodal resonator environment, where magnetic resonators are coupled for power transfer. A passive Q switch is responsive to a driving power from one magnetic resonator coupled to another magnetic resonator. After the driving power reaches a threshold, the passive Q switch shunts the receiving magnetic resonator, at least partially, to reduce the Q of that second resonator, which allows faster detection operation of the second resonator in some applications. The technique allows for fast Q switching in a bimodal resonator system, especially one having resonators having magnetic fields that are orthogonal to one another.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reconstruction of a region of interest for an object is provided. The reconstruction of the object may be based on chords which may fill a part, all, or more than all of the region of interest. Using chords for reconstruction may allow for reducing data acquired and/or processing for reconstructing a substantially exact image of the ROI. Moreover, various methodologies may be used in reconstructing the image, such as backprojection-filtration, and modified filtration backprojection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reconstruction of a region of interest (ROI) for an object using an imaging system is provided. The imaging system may substantially exactly reconstruct the ROI with a straight line trajectory. In the straight line trajectory, the ROI is not bounded or encircled by the actual trajectory of the source (e.g., no chords that are composed from two points on the source trajectory intersect or fill the ROI to be imaged). However, the ROI may be substantially reconstructed by using “virtual” chords to reconstruct the ROI. The virtual chords are such that no point on the trajectory is included in the virtual chord (such as one that is parallel to the straight line trajectory). These virtual chords may intersect and fill the ROI, thus enabling substantially exact reconstruction. Further, in reconstructing the image, the straight line trajectory may be assumed to be infinite in length.
