Abstract: A method of applying tumor treating fields to a region of interest of a subject's body corresponding to a tumor, the method including: alternately applying to the region of interest a first electric field between a first pair of locations of the subject's body and a second electric field between a second pair of locations of the subject's body; detecting a change in the region of interest of the subject's body; ceasing applying the first and second electric fields; selecting, based on the detected change, a third pair of locations of the subject's body and a fourth pair of locations of the subject's body, the third and fourth pairs of locations being different than the first and second pairs of locations; and alternately applying to the region of interest a third electric field between the third pair of locations and a fourth electric field between the fourth pair of locations.

Abstract: A method of assisting transducer placements on a subject's body for applying tumor treating fields includes: determining, based on one or more images associated with a portion of a subject's body, a first image data, wherein the first image data comprises one or more recommended transducer placement positions; determining, based on the one or more images, a second image data, wherein the second image data comprises one or more transducer placement positions; registering the second image data to the first image data; and generating a composite data comprising the one or more transducer placement positions and the one or more recommended transducer array placement positions.

Abstract: A Multiple-input Multiple-Output (MIMO) receiver is provided. The MIMO receiver comprises a parameterized sphere detector having two search modes. During a first search mode, the parameterized sphere detector enumerates a number of best candidate vectors up to a fixed parameter value. During a second search mode, the parameterized sphere detector enumerates additional candidate vectors using a greedy search until a predetermined number of candidate vectors have been enumerated.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a set of candidate symbols. A system includes a Multiple Input Multiple Output (“MIMO”) receiver. The receiver includes a candidate generation look-up table (“LUT”) that provides a list of candidate values for a transmitted symbol selected from a constellation of symbols. The candidate generation LUT stores candidate lists for a portion of the constellation of symbols. The portion of the constellation for which candidate lists are stored is selected according to a symmetry of the constellation. The LUT preferably provides a secondary constellation superimposed on a decision region of a primary constellation. The LUT also preferably includes an inner point of the primary constellation and outer points of the primary constellation. The primary and secondary constellations are preferably compressed by application of quadrant, mirror, and inner-point symmetries.

Abstract: A method and system for performing Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (“MIMO”) detection that reduces complexity by decomposing MIMO detection problem into two less complex problems, Candidate List generation and Interference Cancellation (“CLIC”). Embodiments of the CLIC framework parse an N element channel output into a first set containing S elements and a second set containing N?S elements. A first list of candidate vectors is generated from the first set of elements. A set of interference cancelled elements is generated by using the first list of candidate vectors to cancel interference from the second set of elements. A second list of candidate vectors is generated from the set of interference cancelled elements. A minimum cost is computed for each bit of the candidate vectors and from the costs a log-likelihood ratio is computed.
