Title: Reducing discomfort caused by electrical stimulation
Inventor: GHIRON KENNETH MARC
IPC: A61N2/00
Filed: 2006-10-25
Abstract: The invention is directed to a novel method for reducing discomfort caused by transcutaneous stimulation. The novel method includes providing transcutaneous stimulation, reducing the transcutaneous stimulation at a first location, and substantially maintaining the transcutaneous stimulation at a second location.  The transcutaneous stimulation may be created by electric and/or magnetic fields. The first location may be relatively proximate to the cutaneous surface and may comprise tissue, nerves and muscle. Also, the second location may be relatively deeper than the first location and include, for example, brain tissue that requires the transcutaneous stimulation for treatment purposes. The invention further may include locating a conductor on a treatment area and/or a transcutaneous stimulation device relative to the first location. In addition, the method may further include adjusting how much the transcutaneous stimulation is reduced at the first location.

Title: Digital broadcast transmitter/receiver having an improved receiving performance and signal processing method thereof
Inventor: JI KUM-RAN
IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2006-11-24
Abstract: A digital broadcast transmitting/receiving system, and a signal processing method thereof, includes a randomizer to randomize a transport stream into a specified position of which stuff bytes are inserted, a stuff-byte exchanger to replace the stuff bytes included in the randomized data with specified known data known by a receiver, a Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder to perform an RS-encoding of data output from the stuff-byte exchanger thereby to add a parity to the data, an interleaver to interleave data output from the RS encoder, a trellis encoder to perform a trellis encoding of data output from the interleaver, an RS parity generator to generate a parity for the data changed according to a memory initialization of the trellis encoder, and to output the generated parity to the trellis encoder, and a modulator / RF converter to modulate data output from the trellis encoder and to perform an RF up-converting of the modulated data, wherein the trellis encoder replaces the parity added by the RS encoder with the parity generated by the RS parity generator, and wherein the specified known data has a feature that after the specified known data pass through the trellis encoder, the output specified known data has a spectrum similar to that of pseudo noise and has an average DC (direct current) value close to 0. The digital broadcast receiving performance can be improved even in an inferior multi-path channel by detecting the known data from the received signal and using the known data for synchronization and equalization in a digital broadcast receiver.

Title: High velocity string for well pump and method for producing well fluid
Inventor: WATSON RAY A
IPC: E21B23/00
Filed: 2008-12-05
Abstract: A method of producing a well fluid includes securing a motor to a string of outer tubing and lowering the outer tubing and motor into the well. A rotary pump is secured to a string of inner tubing and lowered into the outer tubing. The pump stabs into cooperative engagement with the motor. Supplying power to the motor rotates the pump, causing well fluid to flow into the outer tubing to an intake of the pump, which pumps the well fluid through the inner tubing to an upper end of the well. Removing the well fluid allows gas to flow up an annulus surrounding the outer tubing to the upper end of the well.
