20130046484 | DATA PROCESSING FOR HYPERPOLARIZED XENON MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN THE LUNG - Embodiments quantify gas exchange in a lung using a model that results in two related expressions, which account for normalized amplitudes of two dissolved-Xenon signals in the lung at a given gas-exchange time. One of the two dissolved-Xenon signals is from Xenon in lung tissue and blood plasma, which resonates at about 197 ppm from the free-Xenon frequency in the air space. The other is from Xenon in the red blood cells, which resonates at about 217 ppm for human but is species dependent. | 02-21-2013 |

20140356056 | HYBRID DIFFUSION-BRAZING PROCESS AND HYBRID DIFFUSION-BRAZED ARTICLE - A hybrid diffusion-brazing process and hybrid diffusion-brazed article are disclosed. The hybrid diffusion-brazing process includes providing a component having a temperature-tolerant region and a temperature-sensitive region, brazing a braze material to the temperature-tolerant region during a localized brazing cycle, then heating the component in a furnace during a diffusion cycle. The brazing and the heating diffusion-braze the braze material to the component, and the localized brazing cycle is performed independent of the diffusion cycle in the hybrid diffusion-brazing process. The hybrid diffusion-brazed article includes a component, and a braze material diffusion-brazed to the component with a filler material. The filler material has a melting temperature that is above a tolerance temperature of the component. | 12-04-2014 |
