  • Publication number: 20160117452
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing a noninvasive electrical brain stimulation “NIEBS” prescription is provided, the method comprising: receiving data for a prescription for a patient associated with a patient ID at a computer system, wherein said prescription is created by a healthcare professional after examining said patient; validating said healthcare professional and said data for said prescription at said computer system; maintaining a database or library of NIEBS data programs for NIEBS treatments at said computer system; and authorizing a specific NIEBS data program for said patient at said computer system based on said prescription.

  • Patent number: 7268916
    Abstract: A system and method for sharpening a digital image (38) having one or more image parameters, for printing with one or more print parameters, and for viewing at one or more viewing parameters, the method comprising the steps of preparing sharpening radius information correlated in a correlation process with one or more print parameters, creating a first data storage device (192) for storing the sharpening radius information, receiving the one or more print parameters, determining an image sharpening radius for the digital image (38) from the sharpening radius information and the received one or more print parameters, and sharpening the digital image (38) using the image sharpening radius in a sharpening algorithm. A correlation process is described, a sharpening algorithm with foliage protection, hue protection, antialiasing protection, and noise reduction is disclosed, and a detail identification process is described.

  • Patent number: 5549023
    Abstract: A disc brake lathe for machining a brake disc on a vehicle without removing the brake disc from the vehicle but only the wheel and other parts of the brake mechanism. The disc brake lathe comprises a power drive unit for rotating a brake disc on the vehicle and a lathe head having at least one cutting tool for machining a brake disc while the brake disc on the vehicle is rotated by the power drive unit. The lathe head is adapted to be mounted on the vehicle for machining a brake disc on the vehicle and includes a motor for power feeding of the at least one cutting tool during machining. The vibration of the lathe head during machining, which causes rough surface finish on the machined brake discs, is avoided or reduced by the provision of a vibration dampener which is attached to the lathe head for absorbing energy of vibration.
