Abstract: A memory system includes a memory device including a memory cell array divided into a plurality of memory banks, and a memory controller that sends read requests or write requests to the memory device for the purpose of inputting data to or outputting data from the memory banks of the memory cell array, respectively, and sends the read requests so as to be separated from the write requests based on a read-write switching point. In a first turn, the memory controller sets a near switching point before the read-write switching point. The memory controller blocks scheduling at least one of first bank requests, between the near switching point and the read-write switching point. The memory controller schedules at least one of second bank requests, which cause state switching of the memory banks, so as to be issued between the near switching point and the read-write switching point.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for synthesizing information from multiple image series of different kernels into a single image series, and also for converting a single baseline image series of a kernel reconstructed by a CT scanner to image series of various other kernels, using deep-learning based methods. For multi-kernel synthesis, a single set of images with desired high spatial resolution and low image noise can be synthesized from multiple image series of different kernels. The synthesized kernel is sufficient for a wide variety of clinical tasks, even in circumstances that would otherwise require many separate image sets. Kernel conversion may be configured to generate images with arbitrary reconstruction kernels from a single baseline kernel. This would reduce the burden on the CT scanner and the archival system, and greatly simplify the clinical workflow.

Abstract: Electrical stimulation of specific facial and lingual nerves creates a more sustained pulsatility activity compared to stimulation of other cranial nerves. Pulsatility of arteries has intrinsic time constraints related to the time for vasodilation/constriction and time to return to baseline (TBL) after electrical stimulation which may affect the pulsatility response. Control of temporal patterning and the stimulation waveform maximizes the physiological response to cerebral pulsatility and its resulting effects on cerebral spinal fluid penetration into the brain parenchyma for a multitude of therapeutic uses including clearing misfolded proteins and/or administered pharmacological agents, diluting endogenous neurochemical concentrations within the brain, and reducing non-synaptic coupling.
