  • Patent number: 11878728
    Abstract: The invention relates to a foldable cot, comprising a bottom portion and a stretchable side wall. The cot further comprises a movable frame for stretching the side wall to an unfolded state. The foldable cot also comprises an adapter mounted to a side wall frame element for connecting the foldable cot to a bearing frame of a buggy, the adapter having a rotatable element that is rotatably attached to the side wall frame element, and an engaging element fixedly attached to the rotatable element such that upon pivoting the frame arm for unfolding the side wall, the frame arm also engages the engaging element inducing the rotatable element to swivel relative to the side wall frame element of the frame for bringing the cot in a mainly horizontal orientation.

  • Patent number: 11608781
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air intake of an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle, extending along an axis X, in which an air flow circulates from upstream to downstream, the air intake comprising an inner wall facing the axis X and an outer wall for guiding an external air flow, the walls being connected by a leading edge and an inner partition so as to delimit an annular cavity. The air intake comprises means for injecting at least one hot air flow into the inner cavity and at least one ventilation orifice formed in the outer wall to allow the hot air flow to escape after heating the inner cavity, the ventilation orifice comprising an upstream edge, the circumferential profile of which is discontinuous in order to generate turbulences, and a downstream edge, the radial profile of which is aerodynamic in order to limit the formation of pressure fluctuations.

  • Publication number: 20220039773
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for monitoring a location of a tool in an ultrasound image. The method includes acquiring a plurality of 2D ultrasound images by way of an ultrasound transducer, wherein at least one of the plurality of 2D ultrasound images comprises a part of the tool and generating a 3D ultrasound image from said plurality of 2D ultrasound images. A first location of the tool is then identified within the 3D ultrasound image. An additional 2D ultrasound image, and location information relating to the location of the ultrasound transducer during capture of the additional 2D ultrasound image, is then acquired and the 3D ultrasound image updated based on the additional 2D ultrasound image and the location information. A location of the tool with respect to the additional 2D ultrasound image is then identified within the updated 3D ultrasound image based only on imaging data of the updated 3D ultrasound image.

  • Patent number: 11112475
    Abstract: A method of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of an object includes: generating MR signals by subjecting the object to a number N of shots of a multi-echo imaging sequence comprising multi-slice RF pulses for simultaneously exciting two or more spatially separate image slices, with a phase offset in the slice direction being imparted to the MR signals; acquiring the MR signals that are received in parallel via a set of at least two RF coils having different spatial sensitivity profiles; and reconstructing a MR image for each image slice from the acquired MR signals using a parallel reconstruction algorithm, wherein the MR signal contributions from the different image slices are separated on the basis of the spatial encodings of the MR signals according to the spatial sensitivity profiles of the RF coils and of the phase offsets attributed to the respective image slices and shots.
