Abstract: A method or software is designed and configured to aid in creating dispatch profiles of energy storage systems (ESS), and/or to model performance of energy storage systems. The method or software generally includes providing a computer-readable software platform configured to store instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the software platform to provide an ESS profile creator module or PCM and/or an energy storage system defined system module or DSM. The PCM is configured to develop ESS dispatch profiles for multiple utility, commercial and industrial, and residential applications use cases (ES Apps). The DSM is configured to allow a user to deduce performance metrics for a user-defined ESS by executing a user-defined POI Profile deduced by the user or developed through the profile creator module. Wherein, the DSM is configured to deduce parameters that allow the user to optimize the design of the ESS for a specific ES App.

Abstract: Featured are devices for compression of target tissue while magnetic resonance imaging the target tissue and methods and systems related thereto. The method includes disposing target tissue between the fixed surface and the moveable member of a compression device and compressing the target tissue between the fixed surface and the moveable member. The method also includes acquiring one or more, more specifically a plurality, of sequences of image data of the compressed target tissue using an MRI imaging technique (MRI). In particular embodiments, the MRI technique is a SENC MRI technique, where tissue encoding is done prior to compressing the tissue and acquiring includes adding a gradient moment in the slice-selection direction to cause demodulation with a specific frequency. In further embodiments, the sequences of image data are acquired one of during successive periodic compressions of the tissue or successive periodic relaxation of the tissues.
