Publication number: 20250085374Abstract: The disclosure relates to gradient delay time correction of magnetic resonance data. For recording the magnetic resonance data, use is made of a three-dimensional recording technique with linear recording trajectories oriented in different readout directions of a readout plane that is perpendicular to a partition direction. Calibration data is recorded which covers a plurality of partitions in partition direction and which describes readout-direction-dependent shifts, caused by delay effects, of measurement points, e.g. sampled k-space sections in the k-space. Correction data is determined by evaluating the calibration data, and the magnetic resonance data is corrected on the basis of the correction data in order to compensate for the delay effects. The calibration data, which covers a coverage region in partition direction, is recorded in a resolved manner in partition direction, and at least one acceleration technique is applied in the partition direction during the recording of the calibration data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: Siemens Healthineers AGInventors: Dominik Paul, Christian Meixner, Max Müller, Mario Zeller, Michael Köhler

Patent number: 12235462Abstract: An optical arrangement converts a laser beam into a line-type beam having a line-type beam cross-section that extends along a line direction with a non-vanishing intensity. The arrangement has: reshaping optics having: an input aperture through which the laser beam is radiated in; and an elongate output aperture, the reshaping optics being configured such that the laser beam radiated in is converted into a beam packet with beam segments that emerge through the output aperture; homogenization optics, which contribute to the conversion of the beam packet into the line-type output beam, and by which different beam segments are mixed and superposed along the line direction; and redirection optics configured to redirect the laser beam such that an incidence position/direction of laser beam on the input aperture is changed in dependence on time.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: TRUMPF LASER-UND SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Thomas Zeller, Christoph Tillkorn, Julian Hellstern, Andreas Heimes, Christian Lingel, Christoph Irion, Michael Jenne

Publication number: 20070050289Abstract: A system for processing credit applications. An adaptive decision engine produces a score determined by the risk associated with a credit application. The credit application is automatically approved or rejected if the score is above or below certain thresholds, and is otherwise referred for manual processing. The system may include a rules system that automatically approves applications if all conditions are met, and generates exceptions if all conditions are not met and refers the application to the adaptive decision engine for further processing. A decision to approve or reject an application may be based on a combination of the risk score and number of exceptions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventors: Michael Zeller, Alex Guazzelli
