Abstract: Determining quality metrics of a magnetic tape recording medium. A production module that includes a write element that writes magnetic transitions to the magnetic tape is substantially in constant physical engagement with the magnetic tape. A supplemental module that includes one or more read elements periodically physically engages the magnetic tape, and the read elements generate an electrical signal corresponding to transitions written to the magnetic recording medium by a write element. A computer receives information representative of the electrical signal and determines if a quality metric of the magnetic recording medium derived from the electrical signal is within a defined range. If the quality metric is not within the defined range, a defined action is performed by the computer.

Abstract: In a method for acquiring MR diffusion data, in a control computer of an MRI system, multiple individual data sets, respectively corresponding to multiple diffusion models, are defined and combined to form a combined data set. Each of said individual data sets is comprised of multiple diffusion image individual data subsets that are to be acquired on one or more specific shells, respectively, and in one or more gradient directions, respectively. Different specific shells among the multiple shells have different diffusion factors. The control computer then operates the MRI system, namely the data acquisition scanner thereof, in order to acquire MR data corresponding to the defined combined data set.

Abstract: A supplemental module that includes one or more read elements periodically engages a magnetic recording medium, and the read elements generate an electrical signal corresponding to transitions written to the magnetic recording medium by a write element. A computer receives information representative of the electrical signal and determines if a quality metric of the magnetic recording medium derived from the electrical signal is within a defined range. If the quality metric is not within the defined range, a defined action is performed by the computer.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus and a positioning apparatus that include an imaging unit for imaging a detected part of a body to be detected; and a distance positioning unit having at least two signal positioning devices, i.e., a signal generator and a signal detector, wherein one signal positioning device is arranged at the detected part, the other signal positioning device is arranged at a position where a predetermined position relationship exists relative to the imaging unit. The position of the detected part in at least one direction in a three-dimensional space relative to the imaging unit is obtained according to a measured distance between the two signal positioning devices. The imaging apparatus and the positioning apparatus reduce pre-positioning imaging sequence workload, and the risk of radiation on the body to be detected is avoided.

Abstract: Disclosed is an earphone including: an earplug that is a rigid pipe; a soft cap that is an elastic sheath, wherein the soft cap includes a body and a top end, the body being in the form of a hole, the top end covering one end of the body, an inner wall of the body matching an outer wall of the earplug, and one end of the earplug being positioned in the body. The earphone not only may reduce noise but also enables useful information to be heard, as well as ensuring that foreign matter cannot enter the earphone and the soft cap may be detachably fixed to the earplug so as to guarantee sanitary use.

Abstract: A drive device of a hospital bed, a hospital bed, and a magnetic resonance imaging system are disclosed. The drive device includes: a first power interruption component, connected to a first transmission mechanism, and used for controlling power supply of the first transmission mechanism, where the first transmission mechanism is used for driving a bed body of the hospital bed to move in a first direction. A second power interruption component is connected to a second transmission mechanism, and used for controlling power supply of the second transmission mechanism, where the second transmission mechanism is used for driving the bed body to move in a second direction. The device also includes a motor, where the motor is connected to the first power interruption component and the second power interruption component; and a controller, used for controlling the motor, the first power interruption component, and the second power interruption component.

Abstract: A patient table includes a table body configured for bearing a patient, a connecting rod structure configured for supporting the table body, and a spring structure. The connecting rod structure is operable such that the table body may perform a lifting motion between a high position and a low position. Both ends of the spring structure are fixed. At least a first end of the spring structure is hinged to the connecting rod structure. The spring structure may be used for driving the lifting motion of the connecting rod structure and/or bearing the table body. The patient table may be used for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging equipment.
