  • FIELD MODIFICATION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20230280424
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for a field modification device for modifying a transmission field (Tx) and/or a receive field (Rx) used by an MR system are provided. The field modification device comprises a plurality of resonator elements being inducible by the transmission field and/or the receive field to resonate, thereby modifying the transmission field and/or the receive field, respectively, wherein a respective resonance frequency and/or resonance phase of a respective resonator element and/or of a respective group of resonator elements is individually controllable. The field modification device further comprises a device controller configured to individually control the respective resonance frequency and/or resonance phase of the respective resonator element and/or of the respective group of resonator elements .

  • Stamped roof panel for a utility vehicle cab
    Patent number: 8668255
    Abstract: A stamped roof panel for the cab of a utility vehicle includes a base portion having a periphery, a protrusion extending upwardly around the periphery of the base portion, and a plurality of drainage gaps in the protrusion. The protrusion has a generally U-shaped cross-sectional profile with a first leg extending from the base portion, a bight portion, and a second leg extending downwardly from the bight portion. The second leg of the protrusion may extend downwardly beyond the base portion and the top edge of the wall panels of the cab. The roof panel may further include a raised panel spaced upwardly from the base portion.
