Abstract: Methods of enabling locomotor control, postural control, voluntary control of body movements (e.g., in non-weight bearing conditions), and/or autonomic functions in a human subject having a spinal cord injury, a brain injury, or a neurological neuromotor disease are described.

Abstract: A memory assignment method used with a disk file management system operating with a hard disk memory wherein data is stored in appropriate ones of a number of discrete files on the disk, and each file has an assigned amount of memory space exclusively associated therewith for the storage of data that should be in the file. The disk file management system keeps track of how much of the memory dedicated to the exclusive use of each file on the disk is yet available for the storage of data in each file, and also keeps track of how much of the memory on the disk is yet available for storage but has not yet been assigned to the exclusive use of any particular file.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for compressing binary numbers to be stored in a memory. A first number to be stored is first determined to be in one of several bit size ranges, and depending on the bit size range a fixed value number is subtracted from the first number. A second number resulting from the subtraction process has two binary bits are prefixed thereto and the combination is stored in memory. The two binary bit prefix identifies the particular bit size range and thereby the fixed value number originally subtracted from the first number. On reading out the second number with two bit prefix, the fixed value number identified by the two bit prefix is added back to the second number to get the first number. The combination of the second number plus two bit prefix has fewer total bits than the first number thus achieving compression of the first number.
