  • Publication number: 20090222547
    Abstract: Technologies for generating displays of user-defined blocks of networking addresses on a map of an associated address space are provided. Each block of networking addresses is described in a user-defined table with a start address and a map size. The display for each block of network addresses may be rendered on the map at a location based on the relative position of the start address within the associated address space and of a size based on the mask size in relation to the associated address space.

  • Patent number: 7558881
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media provide for automated control of the status of network address space. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network may be allocated from a free status to a new status based upon a request to allocate a particular size block. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network that have been allocated to a new status may be deallocated to return to a free status based upon a request to deallocate the chosen block. Blocks of networking address space assigned to a network that have been allocated and otherwise manipulated such as through a lend from another network may be reclaimed for the original network upon a request to reclaim the chosen block.

  • Patent number: 7518831
    Abstract: A dual layer flexible circuit for tape drives is provided that has a flexible substrate with first and second sides. A plurality of write trace pairs are provided on the substrate, with each write trace pair including a first write trace on the first side of the substrate and a second write trace on the second side of the substrate opposing the first write trace. Each first write trace has a width that is narrower than the width of each second write trace, thereby allowing for compensation of misalignment between the trace layers, avoiding variation in the capacitance and inductance of the full circuit.

  • Patent number: 7261062
    Abstract: Process to use water, methyl alcohol, and baking soda to make hydrogen and oxygen to increase fuel mileage on gasoline, diesel and LP gas engines using the process generally known as “Electrolysis” with many modifications. A device and method for producing hydrogen and oxygen gases from Water Solutions and simultaneously using the gases produced to supplement fuels used to operate the vehicle or engine. The solution used in the Electrolytic container is water and sodium bicarbonate. The hydrogen and oxygen—producing device is powered by as many as 5,500 amperes, generator or alternator, using the vehicle engine alternator or generator to produce the current to power the electrolytic cell. The electrolytic container is kept at a constant solution level. The water solution temperature may be controlled by either a low-pressure air conditioning line, a water-cooling line with a thermostatic control valve, on-off temperature control switch or water-cooling fins.

  • Patent number: 7127505
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media for generating displays of networking addresses with status indicators are provided. The display may provide a grid containing individually selectable grid spaces representing networking addresses of a set. The networking addresses of the set have at least one attribute and the value of the attribute is indicated in the display.

  • Publication number: 20030086107
    Abstract: Imaging devices and methods of operating imaging devices that facilitate reducing nonvolatile storage needs of the imaging devices. The imaging devices are adapted to request control programs from external devices without the need to maintain a nonvolatile image of a control program within the imaging device. Control programs are received on a communication input of the imaging device and stored on a volatile storage media for use by a processor of the imaging device. The embodiments can also facilitate more reliable updating within a networked system in that updating an image of a control program on one network device can automatically lead to updating of multiple imaging devices, thus eliminating a need to individually update each imaging device.

  • Patent number: 6081743
    Abstract: A method for treating an individual includes selecting a reference site or sites for determining a brain wave frequency of the individual, determining an initial brain wave frequency of the individual, determining a brain wave frequency which corresponds to a highest evoked response of the individual, by use of electroencephalographic (EEG) feedback, entraining the brain wave frequency of the individual at the chosen site or sites to the brain wave frequency corresponding to the highest evoked response, and then maintaining the brain wave at that frequency for a first predetermined length of time. The highest evoked response can be the highest EEG response or the highest cerebral blood flow (CBF) of the individual or even some other measure. The CBF can be either for a selected portion of or the entire cerebrum. In one embodiment, the method includes repeating some steps. A preferred method entrains the individual back to approximately the initial brain wave frequency of the individual.

  • Patent number: RE36348
    Abstract: A method for changing brain wave frequency to a desired frequency determines a current brain wave frequency of a user, generates two frequencies with a frequency difference of a magnitude between that of the current actual brain wave frequency and the desired frequency but always within a predetermined range of the current actual brain wave frequency, and produces an output to the user corresponding to the two frequencies. One apparatus to accomplish the method has a computer processor, a computer memory, EEG electrodes along with an amplifier, a programmable timing generator responsive to the computer processor for generating the two frequencies, audio amplifiers and a beat frequency generator driving a visual frequency amplifier.
