Abstract: A high-voltage heavy-current drive circuit applied in a power factor corrector, comprising a current mirroring circuit (1), a level shift circuit (3), a high-voltage pre-modulation circuit (2), a dead time control circuit (4) and a heavy-current output stage (5); the heavy-current output stage adopts a Darlington output stage structure to increase the maximum operating frequency of the drive circuit. The stabilized breakdown voltage characteristic of a voltage stabilizing diode is utilized to ensure the drive circuit operating within a safe voltage range. Adding dead time control into the level shift circuit not only prevents the momentary heavy-current from a power supply to the ground during the level conversion process, but also reduces the static power consumption of the drive circuit.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are configured for integrated parallel reception, excitation, and shimming (iPRES). Parallel transmit/receive (which can include B?1#191 shimming and/or parallel imaging capabilities) and B1 shimming employ the same set of localized coils or transverse electromagnetic (TEM) coil elements, with each coil or TEM element working in both an RF mode (for transmit/receive and B1 shimming) and a direct current (DC) mode (for B0 shimming) simultaneously. Both an RF and a DC current can flow in the same coil simultaneously but independently with no electromagnetic interference between the two modes. This invention is not only applicable when the same coil array is used for parallel transmit, receive and shim, but also when two separate coil arrays are used. In that case, the B0 shimming capability can be integrated into one of the coil arrays (i.e.

Abstract: A method includes determining at least one first station; and sending first indication information to the first station, where the first indication information is used for indicating at least one first backoff duration, so that the first station performs a data transmission operation by using the first backoff duration, and the first backoff duration used by the first station to perform a data transmission operation is less than a second backoff duration used by a second station to perform a data transmission operation, or the first backoff duration used by the first station to perform a data transmission operation is greater than the second backoff duration used by the second station to perform a data transmission operation. Shortening backoff durations of some stations can ensure that these stations send data first, and extending backoff durations of some stations can ensure that the other stations send data first.

Abstract: A method based on pure phase encode FIDs that permits high strength gradient measurement is disclosed. A small doped water phantom (1˜3 mm droplet, T1, T2, T2*<100 ?s) within a microprobe is excited by a series of closely spaced broadband RF pulses each followed by single FID point acquisition. Two trial gradient waveforms illustrate the technique, neither of which could be measured by the conventional microprobe measurement. The first is an extended duration gradient waveform while the other illustrates this method's ability to measure gradient waveforms with large net area and/or high amplitude. This method is a point monitor with simple implementation and low cost hardware requirements.
