Abstract: In the case of a radio frequency (RF) coil assembly for a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system, interference in a galvanic transmission line (1) configured to transmit a digital signal should be avoided. This is achieved in that a signal circuit (Pr2) is provided, configured to monitor non-differential asymmetries around the Larmor frequency in a signal through the galvanic transmission line (1), wherein the signal circuit (Pr2) is configured to provide feedback to a digital adjustment circuit (4), wherein the digital adjustment circuit (4) is configured to compensate for non-differential asymmetries around the Larmor frequency in the digital signal by adjusting phase and/or amplitude of the digital signal based on monitored measured values of the signal circuit (Pr2). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for compensating for non-differential asymmetries around the Larmor frequency in a digital signal in a galvanic transmission line (1) of a radio frequency (RF) coil assembly.

Abstract: A method of setting an RF operating frequency of an MRI system (1) uses a first reference frequency signal, obtained from a geo-satellite positioning system, as a stable long term frequency reference.

Abstract: A managing computing device positioned in an ATM can receive a dispense request for an amount of currency and account information from a user. A controller of a currency dispenser can generate a first number. The first number, the dispense request, and the account information can be sent to a remote, host computing device that shares a secret key with the controller. The host device can generate a first message authentication code (MAC) based on at least one of the first number and the amount of currency and can send it to the controller. The controller can generate a second MAC based on at least one of the first number and the amount of currency, confirm identity between the first and second MACs, and control the currency dispenser to dispense the amount of currency to the user.

Abstract: An advertising system includes at least one source of dynamic data (e.g., weather, sport scores, airline prices/availability . . . ) and an advertisement (e.g., an advertisement for a product or service). Software running on a processor receives the dynamic data from the at least one source of dynamic data, analyzes the dynamic data as related to the advertisement, and determines a priority for the advertisement. The software then controls placement of the advertisement based upon the priority. In some embodiments, the advertisement is modified based upon the dynamic data and/or includes some part of the dynamic data.
