Abstract: An example magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system uses magnetic fields and radio frequency waves to generate anatomical images of a biological organism, such as a human body, for example. The example MRI system can implement a prospective gating technique, such as cardiac gating and/or respiratory gating, to provide some examples, to improve the image quality of the anatomical images. The prospective gating technique utilizes one or more physiological events of the biological organism to trigger the example MRI system to image the biological organism at specific times to improve the image quality of the anatomical images, compensating example for interference that may be introduced by the magnetic fields and/or the radio frequency waves.

Abstract: A lead for an implantable medical device (IMD) includes an electrode having a plurality of brick segments that are discrete and mechanically connected to one another in a line. The brick segments are electrically conductive and electrically connected to one another. The brick segments are configured to be powered by a pulse generator of the IMD to deliver high-voltage shocks for defibrillation therapy.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electrocardiograph cable for use in an MRI system. The electrocardiograph cable includes a cable jacket and a plurality of lead wires extending through the cable jacket. Each of the plurality of lead wires includes a first end segment coupled to a monitoring electrode, a second end segment coupled to a monitoring device, an electrically insulating core extending from the first end segment to the second end segment, an electrically conductive wire having a plurality of turns wound around the electrically insulating core from the first end segment to the second end segment, and an electrically insulating sleeve covering the electrically conductive wire wound around the electrically insulating core.

Abstract: The vehicle for use with the present system is a pickup truck or other work truck with an open cargo space. Locking toolbox(es) may be mounted anywhere within the bed, but customarily down the bed rails or across the width of the bed. The toolbox(es) have locking latches when the toolbox is closed. When the lid of the toolbox is closed, then the lid of the toolbox can be locked in this position securing its contents inside. A fixed or retractable cable strap, chain, rope, or similar line is adapted to be locked together with the locking of the lid of the mounted toolbox.

Abstract: The vehicle for use with the present system is a pickup truck or other work truck with an open cargo space. The cargo space is typically defined by a rectangular bed surrounded by fixed walls on three sides and a tailgate in the rear of the vehicle. The bottom of the cargo space is referred to as the floor or cargo bed floor. Cargo pillars are positioned at the two back corners of the cargo bed. They are also the structural support for a tailgate. The bottom of the tailgate is rotatably connected to the base of the pillars next to the cargo bed floor. When the tailgate is open or down, it is typically about parallel to the cargo bed floor. When the tailgate is up or closed, it is latched or locked to the upper end of the pillars. A fixed or retractable cable strap, chain, rope, or similar line is adapted to be locked together with the locking of a truck tailgate.

Abstract: A double-sided adhesive tape is provided, which includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on a first side of the adhesive tape, a thermal bonding film layer on a second side of the adhesive tape, and a carrier layer interposing the thermal bonding film layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. A total thickness of the adhesive tape is 50-500 ?m.

Abstract: Techniques for graphic formation via material ablation described. In at least some implementations, a graphic is applied to a surface of an object by ablating layers of the object to form an ablation trench in the shape of the graphic. In at least some embodiments, an object can include a surface layer and multiple sublayers of materials. When an ablation trench is generated in the object, the ablation trench can penetrate a surface layer of the object and into an intermediate layer. In at least some implementations, height variations in an object surface caused by an ablation trench can cause variations in light reflection properties such that a graphic applied via the ablation trench appears at a different color tone than a surrounding surface, even if the ablation trench and the surrounding surface are coated with a same colored coating.

Abstract: Metal alloy injection molding techniques are described. In one or more implementations, these techniques may also include adjustment of injection pressure, configuration of runners, and/or use of vacuum pressure, and so on to encourage flow of the metal alloy through a mold. Techniques are also described that utilize protrusions to counteract thermal expansion and subsequent contraction of the metal alloy upon cooling. Further, techniques are described in which a radius of edges of a feature is configured to encourage flow and reduce voids. A variety of other techniques are also described herein.
