Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for radio frequency (RF) coils for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. In one embodiment, a radio frequency coil for a medical imaging device comprises: a first electroconductive section having a first end and an opposing, second end; and a first plurality of notches of the first electroconductive section extending from the first end to the second end across a centerline of the first electroconductive section. In this way, an amount electrical eddy currents produced within the electroconductive surfaces of the RF coil is reduced, thereby decreasing a temperature and vibration of the RF coil.

Abstract: A mobile terminal (1) includes a telephone communication control section (23) which makes a call by use of a details screen (320b) for a person to contact and causes a screen (330c) showing that a call is being made to be displayed; and a telephone communication establishment determining section (23a) which, in a case where a telephone communication has been established, terminates a telephone book application (32), and which, in a case where no telephone communication has been established, after the display of the screen (330c) showing that a call is being made, causes the details screen for a person to contact to be displayed. This makes it possible to prevent (i) a display of personal information registered in a telephone book DB and (ii) a decrease in user convenience even in a case where a call is made by use of a screen of a telephone book application.
