Publication number: 20120229141Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) shields used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus may experience gradient field induced eddy currents and RF field induced eddy currents. These eddy currents can cause the RF shield to heat up at an undesirable rate. RF shields are designed to have a desired degree of RF shielding and a desired heating attribute. Design goals for RF shields include gradient field transparency and RF field opacity, both of which can be influenced by eddy currents. Example methods identify a gradient field that will induce eddy currents and identify an RF field that will induce eddy currents. If a region on the RF shield is identified where the desired heating attribute will not be achieved, then a pattern of axial cuts and azimuthal cuts can be made in the RF shield to reduce gradient eddy current heating in the RF shield while maintaining desired RF shielding.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2012Publication date: September 13, 2012Inventors: Robert W. Brown, Yong Wu, Zhen Yao, Shmaryu Shvartsman, Thomas Chmielewski, Timothy Eagan

Publication number: 20120024064Abstract: A system includes a capacitance adjustment module and a control module. The capacitance adjustment module is configured to connect one or more of N capacitors in parallel with one of a first and second capacitance. The control module identifies the smaller of the first and second capacitances and identifies the larger of the first and second capacitances. Subsequently, the control module, during each of M iterations, instructs the capacitance adjustment module to connect at least one of the N capacitors across a set of nodes in parallel with the smaller identified capacitance, and determines whether the capacitance associated with the set of nodes is greater than the larger identified capacitance. After the M iterations, the control module approximates the difference between the first and second capacitances based on which of the N capacitors are connected across the nodes. M and N are integers greater than or equal to 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: Medtronic, Inc.Inventors: Jin Yong Wu, Larry E. Tyler

Publication number: 20110287673Abstract: The high conductivity energy-saving clamping device comprises a clamp and a cable fixed upon the clamp. Inside the cable, the conductive material protrudes and is set on the juncture of the clamp and the external conductor. When the clamp is connected to the external conductor, the conductive material and the external conductor contact and meet. This invention possesses the following advantages: it simplifies the production technology, lessens raw materials needed for production and hence saves resources and cost by the direct contact of the conductive material and the external conductor; moreover, due to the increase of conductive contact area, it enhances the electrical conductivity by 10% to 15% compared to those common clamps which use tooth-like conductive parts to connect the external conductor. Meanwhile, the invention greatly decreases environmental pollution by omitting the plating process of tooth-like conductive parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2010Publication date: November 24, 2011Applicants: SHANGHAI GUANGWEI ELECTRIC & TOOLS CO., LTD, SHANGHAI GREATWAY TOP POWER CO., LTD, SHANGHAI POWER STATION CO., LTDInventors: YePing Fan, Yong Wu, ZhangXi Yan, Di Yu, Wei Duan
