William T. Brennan - Delafield WI, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H01R 13/627
US Classification:
439362
Abstract:
A cable fastener is disclosed. The cable fastener includes a first portion and a second portion. A set of threads is disposed at a first end of the first portion, and a knurl is disposed at a second end of the first portion. The second portion includes an interface region disposed within a first end and a tool interface disposed upon a second end. The interface region is disposed in intimate connection upon the knurl, and the first and second portion are configured to transmit at least 12 in-lbs across the interface region and knurl without relative motion.

Methods And Systems For Image Detection

US Patent:
20130039533, Feb 14, 2013
Filed:
Aug 12, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/209150
Inventors:
Joseph James Lacey - Waukesha WI, US
Russell Hum - Waukesha WI, US
Ashutosh Joshi - Waukesha WI, US
Assignee:
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
US Classification:
382103
Abstract:
A method is provided for image detection. The method includes measuring a temperature of an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter of an imaging system during an imaging scan of an object, and correcting a gain of the A/D converter based on the measured temperature of the A/D converter.

Variable Aperture Z-Axis Tracking Collimator For Computed Tomograph System

View page
US Patent:
61730394, Jan 9, 2001
Filed:
Aug 25, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/140108
Inventors:
Willi W. Hampel - St. Francis WI
Russell W. Hum - Waukesha WI
Carmine F. Vara - New Berlin WI
Steven J. Woloschek - Franklin WI
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
A61B 603
US Classification:
378150
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for dose reduction in a computed tomography (CT) system are described. In one embodiment, the CT system includes a pre-patient collimator and a configurable multislice detector array. The pre-patient collimator includes a plurality of eccentric cams and a filtration device for altering the x-ray beam radiated from a x-ray source. The eccentric cams are positioned to collimate the x-ray beam and may be independently positioned to provide z-axis correction of the x-ray beam. The filtration device includes a plurality of filters for altering the x-ray beam. In operation, an operator selects the type of test and the quantity and thickness of the slices. After altering the detector and collimator configuration, slice data for each slice is gathered.

Methods And Apparatus For Detecting Gantry Interference In A Computed Tomography System

View page
US Patent:
58056580, Sep 8, 1998
Filed:
Dec 31, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/774575
Inventors:
Russell Wayne Hum - Waukesha WI
Thomas Robert Murray - Delafied WI
Christopher J. Falkner - Waukesha WI
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
H05G 154
US Classification:
378 4
Abstract:
The present invention, in one embodiment, is an interference detection assembly for detecting patient and patient table interference with a gantry of a computed tomography system. The assembly, in one form, includes a frusto-conical capacitive plate secured to a leading frusto-conical surface of the gantry bore. The capacitive plate is coupled to a control unit which detects changes in the capacitance of the capacitive plate. When the plate is discharged below a threshold charge, the control unit generates a signal which may be used to automatically interrupt a scan.

Methods And Apparatus For Acquiring Table Elevation Information

View page
US Patent:
56574983, Aug 19, 1997
Filed:
Nov 20, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/560829
Inventors:
Russell Wayne Hum - Waukesha WI
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
A47B 916
A61B 604
US Classification:
5601
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for determining cradle support elevation in an imaging system are described. In one form, the apparatus includes a support rail secured to and between table support legs of a table arrangement. The support rail is maintained substantially parallel with the cradle support. An encoder, coupled to the support rail, generates signals indicative of the cradle support elevation. The encoder signals can be used to determine, using a linear function, cradle support elevation. More specifically, although the cradle support movements are non-linear, the cradle support elevation apparatus provide linear feedback which may be used to determine cradle support elevation.

Gantry Position Reference For Tomographic Scanners

View page
US Patent:
51757540, Dec 29, 1992
Filed:
May 11, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/880833
Inventors:
Colin J. Casey - West Lafayette IN
Russell W. Hum - Waukesha WI
Phil E. Pearson - Pewaukee WI
Judith A. Clifford - Temple Terrace FL
Harold Dalman - Brookfield WI
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
H05G 166
US Classification:
378 4
Abstract:
A CT apparatus produces a trigger position signal having a programmable angular spacing, for triggering the acquisition of projections, from an encoder index pulse having a different fixed angular spacing. An estimation circuit estimates the time of occurrence of a next pulse in the trigger position signal by evaluating the timing of the encoder index pulses. The estimation circuit may be a phase-locked-loop or a set of lookup tables keyed to gantry position and speed.

Methods And Apparatus For Stabilizing A Gantry In A Computed Tomography System

US Patent:
57990549, Aug 25, 1998
Filed:
Dec 31, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/777417
Inventors:
Russell Wayne Hum - Waukesha WI
Thomas Robert Murray - Delafied WI
Shawn Patrick Faessler - Waukesha WI
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Milwaukee WI
International Classification:
A61B 602
US Classification:
378 17
Abstract:
The present invention, in one form, is a brake assembly for a tilting gantry. The brake assembly is coupled to the gantry in substantially the same manner as a driving actuator is connected to the gantry, and includes a hydraulic cylinder, a piston, a reservoir and a valve. The cylinder includes a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending between the first end and the second end to define a chamber. The piston includes a head and an arm which is configured to couple to the gantry. The piston is positioned within the hydraulic cylinder so that the head of the piston is in the cylinder chamber and the piston arm extends through a piston opening of the first end of the hydraulic cylinder. The reservoir is configured to retain hydraulic fluid, and the valve is connected in series circuit between the hydraulic cylinder and the reservoir. Particularly, a fluid line couples the reservoir to the hydraulic cylinder, and the valve is positioned in the fluid line to control the flow of hydraulic fluid between the reservoir and the hydraulic cylinder.
