  • Patent number: 10593038
    Abstract: A method is provided for creating magnetic resonance images of a predetermined three-dimensional volume segment of a living object undergoing examination, using a magnetic resonance device. The method includes acquiring magnetic resonance data in the volume segment by radial acquisition of a k-space for a predetermined duration of capture that includes at least one full respiratory period of the object undergoing examination; analyzing the magnetic resonance data in order to determine therefrom at least one respiratory period; forming at least one data group that includes only the magnetic resonance data that belongs to at least one respiratory state of the at least one respiratory period; and creating the magnetic resonance images from only the magnetic resonance data of the at least one data group. Here, it is advantageous that magnetic resonance images of higher temporal resolution and/or better image quality, in particular with smaller image artifacts, may be provided.

  • Patent number: 10175323
    Abstract: A method for adapting activation parameters used to generate a pulse sequence when activating a magnetic resonance system is provided. The method includes determining stimulation values for the pulse sequence based on predefined activation parameters. The stimulation values represent a stimulation exposure of a patient. Test regions that exhibit stimulation maxima are identified in the pulse sequence, and the identified test regions are tested with respect to compliance with a predefined stimulation limit value.

  • Patent number: 9732816
    Abstract: A rubber-metal sleeve bearing includes an outer sleeve having a first outer edge and a second outer edge in opposing relationship to the first outer edge, when viewed in an axial direction. The first and second outer edges each have at least one section provided with radially inwardly recessed outer edge regions. An inner sleeve is disposed in concentric relation to the outer sleeve, and an intermediate sleeve is disposed concentrically between the outer and inner sleeves and connected to the outer sleeve via a first elastomer layer and to the inner sleeve via a second elastomer layer.

  • Patent number: 9556903
    Abstract: A rubber-metal sleeve bearing includes an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve disposed in concentric relationship to the inner sleeve, and an intermediate sleeve disposed in concentric relationship to the inner and outer sleeves and having first and second elastomer layers to connect the intermediate sleeve to the inner and outer sleeves, respectively. The intermediate sleeve has inner and outer surfaces, each having at least one non-round section, with the non-round section of the inner surface and the non-round section of the outer surface being arranged in offset relationship in a circumferential direction.
