Abstract: A portable repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) apparatus is provided. The rTMS apparatus includes an upper fastening component, a lower fastening component, a driver circuit and an inductor which is electrically connected to the driver circuit and used as a stimulator. The inductor is formed of a core and a coil. The core has a groove. The coil includes an upper part and a lower part. The upper part of the coil is configured to be distal to the core and pass through an upper side, a left side or a right side of the core. The lower part of the coil is configured to pass through the groove.

Abstract: A method for determining the areas of resin to be cured in an optical stereolithography process for rapid prototyping using sequential laser curing of layers of a resin having a selected thickness to produce a desired shape of cured resin. The method includes the steps of generating a computer model of desired shape and dividing the model into layers of thickness equal to the thickness of the layers each defining an area of resin to be cured. A set of layers including and sequentially adjacent an intermediate layer is selected and the areas in the intermediate layer of resin which would be oversized by laser curing of layers later in the curing sequence is determined. The 2-D layer data used to build a 3-D model is modified to compensate for the oversizing and the steps repeated by sequentially selecting sets of layers to include substantially all of the layers as the intermediate layer.
