Abstract: A therapeutic stretching device includes a strap; a fulcrum member centrally located on the strap and arranged to be placed behind the back of a user's neck and operable as a fulcrum for cervical spinal extension; first and second shoulder pads attached to the strap on either side of the fulcrum member, the shoulder pads arranged to assist the strap in pulling shoulder joints of the user backwards and to create bilateral glenohumeral external rotation; and at least one pair of loops disposed on the strap, wherein shoulder pads are disposed between the fulcrum member and the pair of loops, the loops being disposed and sized for right and left hand or wrist placement during use.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance experiment is described in which a sample under test is subjected to a sequence of gradient magnetic fields and RF pulses and resultant pulse echoes are monitored. At least one of the RF pulses comprises a prefocused, phase-modulated, time-asymmetric RF pulse.
