  • Patent number: 11782109
    Abstract: A local coil may include: a wireless power receiver, for converting electrical energy to AC electricity, the electrical energy being wirelessly received from a power source; an AC-DC converter, for converting the AC electricity to first DC electricity having a first voltage; a DC-DC converter, for converting the first DC electricity to second DC electricity having a second voltage; a comparator, for comparing the first voltage and the second voltage, and generating a level signal on the basis of a comparison result; and a transmitter, for sending the level signal to the power source, such that the power source adjusts an output power of the electrical energy on the basis of the level signal. The wirelessly supplying of power to a local coil as well as power feedback control is achieved to advantageously increase energy transmission efficiency and system robustness.

  • Patent number: 11009571
    Abstract: A power source supply system for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus that has multiple loads operating in a magnetic field environment, has an AC/DC conversion circuit that converts a supplied AC current to a first DC current having a predetermined first voltage, a branching element that supplies the first DC current in separate paths respectively to the multiple loads, a switching power source, disposed in each of the loads that converts the first DC current to a second DC current having a second voltage capable of being supplied to the load, with a switching frequency of the switching power source being set such that a positive integer frequency multiple thereof is offset from the Larmor frequency of the MRI apparatus.
