Abstract: An rTMS coil or set of coils are designed to affect multiple regions of the brain with synchronous magnetic field pulses. Multiple coils aligned over the targeted regions of interest, or a single coil that is stretched or enlarged in a shape that allows the magnetic field to affect the areas of interest are disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of optimizing repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatments.

Abstract: A method for facilitating transmission of video data over a computer network is disclosed. The method comprises the following exemplary steps. First, all the distinct colors in a region are identified. Second, the n most frequently occurring distinct colors are selected, where n is an integer parameter which is less than or equal to sixteen (16). Then, the next 16-n distinct colors are selected from the remaining distinct colors. These next 16-n distinct colors are colors that differ the most from the n selected distinct colors. The sixteen (16) selected distinct colors collectively represent a color map for the region. For each pixel within the region, one of the sixteen (16) selected distinct colors is assigned to that pixel, i.e., each pixel is represented by a 4-bit color. The assignment is based on which one of the sixteen (16) selected distinct colors is closest to the original color of the pixel.

Abstract: A method for real time graphical visualizing of reservoir simulation data is disclosed. The method comprises the following exemplary steps. First, a TCP/IP network layer is added to the reservoir simulator. The network layer has a listening port that is actively listening to the messages from graphical visualization tools once the simulation is started. Second, a TCP/IP network layer is added to the graphical visualization tool. The network layer is a vehicle for transmitting information to and from a reservoir simulator. Once started, the graphical visualization tool will make a network connection to the reservoir simulator via the listening port of the simulator. Subsequently, the graphical visualization tool makes request to the reservoir simulator for reservoir simulation information for the purpose of display. The reservoir simulator will send reservoir simulation information as requested. The graphical visualization tool then displays this information in graphical form.

Abstract: Partially-synchronous and non-integer integrated circuit counters for dividing a high-speed reference clock signal with a selectable divisor have been provided. The circuits use a high-speed synchronous counter that cycles between the use of a selectable and a fixed divisor, to give the counter circuit a selectable overall division ratio. The partially-synchronous counter circuit uses asynchronous dividers to complete the division process and to minimize power consumption. A non-integer counter circuit is provided that includes a edge select mechanism to reduce power consumption in the division process. Examples are presented with specific number of stages, and corresponding divisors and divisor ranges. Method for implementing the above-mentioned partially-synchronous and non-integer counter circuits have also been provided.
