  • Patent number: 7304476
    Abstract: The invention relates to a treatment room (7) suitable for recording images of a human or animal body on the basis of a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technique, the walls (7a), the ceiling (7b) and the floor (7c) of the treatment room forming an electromagnetic shield for a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system (1) arranged in the treatment room, which MR imaging system comprises at least a target area (5) in which a human or animal body can be placed, a housing (2, 3, 4) comprising at least one main magnetic unit and at least one gradient magnetic unit for generating one or more magnetic fields in the target area (5), and at least one radio-frequency (RF) pulse unit (6) for generating an electromagnetic RF pulse in the target area (5).

  • Patent number: 5984745
    Abstract: An element of an apparatus is magnetized so as to generate a magnetic field pattern around the element. To achieve this, use is made of a magnetizing coil, and the element and the magnetizing coil are moved relative to each other, the magnetizing coil carrying an alternating current of substantially constant amplitude as well as a signal current. Preferably, there is a phase difference between the signal current and an intended magnetic field pattern.

  • Patent number: 5170102
    Abstract: Picture display device comprising an in-line color display tube having an elongate display screen with a short axis and a long axis, which screen is provided on an inner surface, and a deflection system. The plane in which the undeflected electron beams are located is parallel to the short axis of the display screen. The deflection system comprises a first system of deflection coils for generating a substantially pincushion-shaped deflection field in the direction of the short axis of the display screen and a second system of deflection coils for generating a substantially barrel-shaped deflection field in the direction of the long axis of the display screen. The deflection system has terminals to be connected to a signal generator for scanning the display screen in a raster having a plurality of lines oriented along the short axis of the display screen.

  • Patent number: 5027042
    Abstract: A color display tube system comprising an electron gun for producing three co-planar electron beams, and including a main deflection system which in operation generates deflection fields of the self-convergent type, and an auxiliary deflection system which in operation generates a 45.degree. magnetic 4-pole field facing the electron gun and moving the outer electron beams away from each other, and a 45.degree. magnetic 4-pole field facing the display screen and moving the outer beams towards each other.

  • Patent number: 4988926
    Abstract: A color cathode ray tube system comprising three coplanar electron guns and one deflection unit. A dynamically controlled element driving the outer electron beams away from each other is arranged at the input side of the deflection unit. The underconvergence induced thereby is compensated in that the deflection unit generates deflection fields which cause an overconvergence of the outer beams. This leads to a reduction of the spot growth upon deflection.
