Hawks - Bucks Game Preview
Yesterday, 02:45 PM by lethalweapon3
Point, guards!
As "Fernando Lamas" might put it, "It's not whether you win. It's how you look!"
It's important for Hawks fans, especially the happily-paying ones filling up Philips Arena the rest of the way, to feel engaged by the home team. Winning will be cool, too. But keep us entertained, please!
Coming out on top in the remaining five home games, including tonight's affair with the Milwaukee Bucks (7:30 PM Eastern, SportSouth, Fox Sports Wisconsin), is a worthy goal, considering that Atlanta winning every...

No worries, Joe. These chainz here? They're already bought and paid for!
By 2007, virtually everyone acknowledged Tauheed Epps could flow like few others in the Southern Rap genre. A former scholarship athlete at Alabama State, the six-foot-five homie could still hoop a little, too. Yet, as rival and colleague rappers made power moves up the Billboard charts, his rap career arc plateaued, for years.
Part of the issue for Epps stemmed from an inertial response to the need to personally transform. Doomed to become a career "guest-appearance" rapper and never the top-biller, Tauheed finally heeded some sage advice, and it began w...

"I pop bottles, but I don't pour."
We now return to the scenes of the crimes.
Losers of three straight for the first time in forever, our Atlanta Hawks have fallen flat against some of the best of the West, something that could be problematic if they're fortunate enough to be playing in June but fail to adjust defensively. The good news is just one of their final 12 contests will be against a Western Conference opponent.
Even better? The Hawks built up much of their gaudy 53-17 record on their own Southeast Division. Two lucky buzzer-beating, victory-stealing shots are just about al...

Penn Valley Park
In the heart of downtown, lies the Penn Valley Park, a park that was carved out of an urban setting of houses and buildings in an attempt to try and retain the land's history as an historic ravine. This ravine, known as the 'Penn Street ravine', a part of the route which was used by the pioneers to traverse west on the land, via the Santa Fe Trail. The park was completed in the early 1900s, and today occupies a prime position in the city's landscape. Among the amenities available here are a dog park, a skate park, tennis courts, picnic areas, softball fields, and the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial. Do call to know more.

Inexpensive light
If you have a Big Lots store near you, here is an inexpensive fixture.
I don't know. It lists for less than $14 but that's wholesale. On other sites (Lights of America for instance) it is about $35. Now, if I was to order $500 worth of those, I guess they would ship them to me. Sorry about the false lead, I posted it before going through all the steps, but still, at some point, Big Lots ought to have these available. I will get five of them if they offer it at close to the $14 price,
I do not endorse any link or site this forum adds because of their new advertising policy and for the record, I think it sucks!
I do not endorse any link or site this forum adds because of their new advertising policy and for the record, I think it sucks!
I agree. Other forums that use that are quite annoying, and I have stopped using them because of it....if anyone from gardenweb.com is reading this.
Ads to the right and at the top or bottom are one thing, ads that are added to your post are just wrong. It implies that the poster is promoting that site, or endorsing it in some way. For a forum to be so against poster's putting ads into their posts, you would think they would not put ads into the posts that do not contain ads.
The forums instructions clearly state:
No advertising is allowed in any of the forums.
Follow your own instructions gardenweb!!!
Here is a link that might be useful: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOURSELF GARDENWEB
"No advertising is allowed in any of the forums."
Lowes has 4' 40 Watt T-12 Fixtures for $10 - these seem to work just fine for me. Probably not overdrivable the way the Home Depot Commercial Electric were, but then I didn't overdrive those anyway (although they were $7).
Home Depot no longer carries T-12 fixtures - just T-8.

When we got to Chur for lunch to meet with Michela, Gianluca and baby Rosa.

The present invention provides a cochlear stimulation system and method for capturing and translating fine time structure ("FTS") in incoming sounds and delivering this information spatially to the cochlea. The system comprises a FTS estimator/analyzer and a current navigator. An embodiment of the method comprises analyzing the incoming sounds within a time frequency band, extracting the slowly varying frequency components and estimating the FTS to obtain a more precise dominant FTS component within a frequency band. After adding the fine structure to the carrier to identify a precise dominant FTS component in each analysis frequency band (or stimulation channel), a stimulation current may be "steered" or directed, using the concept of virtual electrodes, to the precise spatial location (place) on the cochlea that corresponds to the dominant FTS component. This process is simultaneously repeated for each stimulation channel and each FTS component.
1. A cochlear stimulation system for capturing and delivering fine time structure (FTS) in incoming sounds, the system comprising:
an electrode array, having a plurality of electrodes for placing into a duct of a human cochlea;
a plurality of stimulation channels connected to the electrode array, each stimulation channel connected to at least one electrode in the electrode array;
an envelope extractor for extracting a slowly varying frequency envelope in the incoming sound;
an FTS analyzer for estimating the FTS information within a frequency band; and
a current navigator, which uses the identified dominant FTS component at each band of frequency and precisely directs, employing virtual electrodes, stimulation to each place of the cochlea that spatially corresponds to the identified dominant FTS component.

The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/426,267, filed 13 Nov. 2002, which application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to systems and methods for stimulating the cochlea. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods for processing incoming sound wave information and accurately conveying this information as perceived sounds.
Fine time structure ("FTS") is the fast varying information present in sounds. The FTS has been shown to be essential for recognition of musical melodies, as well as for finely discerning other sounds.
In conventional, pulsatile, cochlear, implantable stimulation strategy ("CIS"), the incoming sound is broken into a small number of frequency bands, for example, between 8 to 22 bands. The slowly-varying envelope is extracted from each band and this envelope information is used to modulate a high-frequency pulsatile carrier signal that is presented to a plurality of stimulating electrodes, conventionally equaling the number of frequency bands. In this conventional method of processing sound, some of the FTS information is discarded, namely, the fast-varying components present in each frequency band (or stimulation channel).
FTS can be conveyed to the auditory nerve fibers in two different ways: (a) temporally, with respect to the discharge patterns of the auditory nerve fibers over time; and (b) spectrally (spatially), with respect to the cochlear excitation pattern over the length of the cochlea. Because different segments of the cochlea, over its length, are associated with different sound frequencies, the spatial location on the cochlea represents the spectral frequencies of the incoming sounds. It is unclear which of the two modes of variation, temporal or spectral, is more important for conveying the FTS.
In a conventional CIS system, the use of discrete electrodes fixes the position of the electrical stimulation field emanating from each electrode. Thus, if eight electrodes are used, there are eight dominant, but fixed, stimulation points on the cochlea. Spatial points or places on the length of the cochlea, which are between electrodes and between the dominant stimulation points, are poorly stimulated because only those areas closest to the electrodes are well stimulated. As a result, the conventional system can not accurately convey the FTS spatially to the cochlea.
It would be desirable to capture the FTS in incoming sounds and to deliver this information with improved spatial accuracy over the length of the cochlea. What is needed, therefore, is a method and system of processing auditory sound waves into electrical signals that capture FTS information and accurately direct this information to appropriate nerves that spatially innervate the cochlea.
The present invention addresses the above and other needs by providing a stimulation strategy that accurately conveys the FTS.
In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for capturing the FTS in filter outputs, processing this information and delivering a more accurate spectral translation of the sound to the cochlea. In accordance with the present invention for stimulating the cochlea, the method comprises: (a) analyzing the incoming sounds within a plurality of frequency bands; (b) extracting the slowly varying frequency carrier component of the incoming sound in each frequency band with an envelope; (c) estimating the dominant FTS component in each frequency band using an FTS analyzer; (d) adding the dominant FTS component to the carrier component to provide a precise corresponding spatial location on the cochlea; and (e) directing the stimulation current, using a current navigator, to the precise spatial place on the cochlea.
It is a feature of the present invention to provide embodiments of a method for analyzing the FTS which involve: (1) within a predetermined time interval, for a particular frequency band or window, averaging the intervals between the zero crossings of an incoming sound wave and calculating the dominant FTS component or (2) in a predetermined time interval, using a Fast Fourier Transform to de-construct a sound wave, in order to identify the dominant FTS component in each particular frequency band or window.
In another aspect of the invention a stimulation system is provided, which system comprises: an envelope extractor for extracting the slowly varying information in a sound; an FTS analyzer for identifying and estimating the dominant FTS component within a frequency band; and a current navigator for directing stimulation, using virtual electrodes, to more accurately stimulate specific sets of nerves along the cochlea.
It is a feature of the present invention that capturing FTS and conveying this information to corresponding locations or "places" along the cochlea can be implemented in conjunction with such concepts as M of N stimulation strategies, as well as virtual channels/electrodes.
The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following more particular description thereof, presented in conjunction with the following drawings wherein:
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding components throughout the several views of the drawings.
The following description is of the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of describing the general principles of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined with reference to the claims.
Before describing the present invention, it will be helpful to first provide an overview of the structure of a cochlear implant system that can be used to practice the present invention. This overview is provided below in connection with the description of
A "biphasic" pulse 6 consists of two pulses: a first pulse of one polarity having a specified magnitude, followed immediately or after a very short delay by a second pulse of the opposite polarity, although possibly of different duration and amplitude, such that the total charge of the first pulse equals the total charge of the second pulse. It is thought that such charge-balancing can prevent damage to stimulated tissue and prevent electrode corrosion. For multichannel cochlear stimulators of the type that may include the present invention, it is common to apply a high rate biphasic stimulation pulse train to each of the pairs of electrodes in accordance with a selected strategy and modulate the pulse amplitude of the pulse train as a function of information contained within the sensed acoustic signal.
The ICS 21 and the SP 16 are shown in
Typically, where a transcutaneous data link must be established between the external portion and implantable portions of the system, such link is implemented by using an internal antenna coil within the implantable portion, and an external antenna coil within the external portion. In operation, the external antenna coil is aligned over the location where the internal antenna coil is implanted, allowing such coils to be inductively coupled to each other, thereby allowing data (e.g., the magnitude and polarity of a sensed acoustic signals) and power to be transmitted from the external portion to the implantable portion. Note, in other embodiments of the invention, both the SP 16 and the ICS 21 may be implanted within the patient, either in the same housing or in separate housings. If in the same housing, the link 14 may be implemented with a direct wire connection within such housing. If in separate housings, as taught, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 6,067,474, incorporated herein by reference, the link 14 may be an inductive link using a coil or a wire loop coupled to the respective parts.
The microphone 18 senses sound waves and converts such sound waves to corresponding electrical signals and thus functions as an acoustic transducer. The electrical signals are sent to the SP 16 over a suitable electrical or other link 24. The SP 16 processes these converted acoustic signals in accordance with a selected speech processing strategy to generate appropriate control signals for controlling the ICS 21. Such control signals specify or define the polarity, magnitude, location (which electrode pair or electrode group receive the stimulation current), and timing (when the stimulation current is applied to the electrode pair) of the stimulation current that is generated by the ICS. Such control signals thus combine to produce a desired spatio-temporal pattern of electrical stimuli in accordance with a desired speech processing strategy.
A speech processing strategy is used, among other reasons, to condition the magnitude and polarity of the stimulation current applied to the implanted electrodes of the electrode array 48. Such speech processing strategy involves defining a pattern of stimulation waveforms that are to be applied to the electrodes as controlled electrical currents.
The cochlear implant functionally shown in
Thus it is seen that the exemplary system of
The electrode array 48 includes a plurality of electrode contacts 50, 50, 50″ and labeled as, E1, E2, . . . Em, respectively, which are connected through appropriate conductors to respective current generators or pulse generators within the ICS. Through these plurality of electrode contacts, a plurality of stimulus channels 127, e.g., m stimulus channels, may exist through which individual electrical stimuli can be applied at m different stimulation sites within the patient's cochlea.
Conventional cochlear implant systems use a one-to-one mapping scheme between the n analysis channels and the m stimulus channels 127 that are directly linked to m electrodes 50, 50′, 50″, such that n analysis channels=m electrodes. In such a case, the signal resulting from analysis in the first analysis channel may be mapped, using appropriate mapping circuitry 41 or equivalent, to the first stimulation channel via a first map link, resulting in a first cochlear stimulation place (or first electrode). Similarly, the signal resulting from analysis in the second analysis channel of the SP may be mapped to a second stimulation channel via a second map link, resulting in a second cochlear stimulation place, and so on. Obviously, there is little point to having more analysis channels than the number of stimulation channels/electrodes that are available.
In contrast, the present invention may be used under the condition that n=m or when n is greater than m. For example assume that n is at least 20 or as high as 32, while m is no greater than sixteen, e.g., 8 to 16. In that case, it may be possible to use n analysis channels even though there are actually fewer physical electrodes than analysis channels. This may be done using the concept of "virtual electrodes."
Virtual electrodes provide stimulation 6 at parts of the cochlea that are "in between" electrodes. An equivalent stimulus is perceived which would be produced if a "virtual electrode" were located on that location or "place" on the cochlea. Advantageously, the capability of using different mapping schemes between n SP analysis channels and m ICS stimulation channels 127 to thereby enable a large number of "in-between", as well as actual stimulation sites can more accurately direct the neural excitation to the cochlear location or "place" which is targeted.
One method of implementing virtual electrodes is to use two or more stimulus output channels 127 to deliver stimuli simultaneously at two or more electrode contacts 50, 50′, 50″. The stimulus current 6 at each electrode is weighted in appropriate proportions between two or more electrodes 50, 50′ 50″ in order to effectively "steer" the current from one stimulus location within the cochlea to another. The concept of "current steering" is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,393,325 for use within a spinal cord stimulation system and U.S. Pat. No. 6,052,624. Both patents are incorporated herein by reference. Current steering, as taught in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,393,325, may be employed within other neural stimulation systems, including a cochlear implant system. Additional features and advantages of current steering are taught in International Publication Number WO 02/09808 A1, published Feb. 7, 2002, based on International Application Number PCT/US00/20294, filed 26 Jul. 2000, which publication is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
It is important to understand that the concept of "virtual electrodes" is a broad concept and includes the above described method of current steering using weighted currents simultaneously delivered through two or more electrodes. Virtual electrodes can also be created by other techniques. One such alternative technique is to provide rapidly alternating, non-simultaneous, stimuli at a first electrode Ef and at a second electrode Es, wherein the effect of this time-multiplexed, alternating stimulus delivery is to provide a perceived stimulation that is somewhere between Ef and Es. The present invention may utilize all techniques of implementing virtual electrodes, including current steering through application of simultaneous weighted currents and also through time-multiplexed presentation of stimuli delivered through at least two different closely positioned electrodes 50, 50′, 50″.
To convey the identified, dominant FTS in each band, the stimulation system delivers stimulation pulses to three of four electrodes that are placed on the cochlea. The specific amplitudes of each dominant FTS component that is translated to stimulus pulses through the appropriate three of the electrodes can be translated as a perceived sound intensity. This perceived sound intensity can be increased by increasing the stimulation amplitude of a pulse such that more nerve fibers are recruited (captured) at one time. In addition, the frequency of the train of pulses delivered at the electrode can also be increased to recruit more nerve fibers within a fixed time interval. Such an increase in pulse frequency and amplitude can translate to an increase in perceived, sound intensity.
It is important to understand however, that even in a system having many analysis channels, e.g., sixteen, there is a loss of FTS information because, while the dominant FTS component, for instance, g, shown in
The block diagrams of
The obtained FTS is then linearly added to the carrier signal obtained from the envelope extractor 131 by the current navigator 140 which processes and spatially directs the presentation of stimuli on the various cochlear places via one or more electrodes 50, 50′, 50″ such that the peak of the stimulation will be presented more precisely at the cochlear locations (places) that correspond to the FTS dominant frequency components in each frequency band.
Another, alternative embodiment of the present method for determining the FTS of the dominant component is to count zero crossings of the sound waves in a predetermined time window. The number of zero crossings is divided by the total duration of the time window to achieve the frequency estimate. For instance, both positive and negative going crossings are counted (in this case seven), then the number of zero crossings is further divided by 2 and then divided again by the total duration of time, Tw, 121, which is 20 milliseconds. Sufficiently accurate estimates can be achieved with a time window, Tw, that is at least 10 milliseconds long and preferably between about 10 to 100 milliseconds.
Still another alternative method of the present invention for determining the dominant FTS component is somewhat more sophisticated and employs a Fast Fourier Transform to precisely de-construct the fundamental frequency components in a particular incoming sound. The dominant FTS component in a frequency band should be sustained over a time duration of about between 10 to 100 milliseconds. A formant tracker, which can identify the dominant FTS components in a frequency band can be employed. A hardware and software implementation that uses a Fast Fourier Transform may, however, may require greater processing power and, therefore, use more energy and use up more device space compared to the simple method described which needs only detection and counting of zero crossings.
Once the specific dominant FTS in each of the frequency bands are identified by one of the methods identified above, the dominant FTS must be conveyed spatially (spectrally) to the specific locations of the cochlea. Conventional stimulation systems do not convey via the electrodes the precise dominant FTS components because the electrodes in the electrode array are fixed at specific locations on the array and in the cochlea, after the array is implanted.
In operation, using conventional stimulation, a stimulus current is applied to electrode E1, the stimulus location in the tissue 54 is essentially the location 56, adjacent the physical location of the electrode E1. Similarly, when a stimulus current is applied to electrode E2, the stimulus location in the tissue 54 is essentially centered at location 58, adjacent the physical location of the electrode E2. Likewise, when a stimulus current is applied to electrode E3, the stimulus location in the tissue 54 is essentially centered at location 60, adjacent the physical location of the electrode E3. It is thus seen that the resolution, or precision, with which a stimulus may be applied to the tissue is only as good as the spacing of the electrodes on the electrode array. That is, each stimulus location in the tissue 54 is separated by approximately the same distance "D" as separates the electrodes.
One strategy for escaping this limitation is to increase the number of electrodes and thereby decrease the inter-electrode spacing. However, such a strategy can only be carried to a limited extent, because at some point, believed to be around 16 to 22 electrodes, increasing the number of electrodes does not always improve spatial precision in stimulating the nerves on the cochlea. The electrical field gradient around a single stimulating electrode has an inherent, spatial imprecision. There is a fixed, ceiling number of discrete electrodes for each type of electrode array, beyond which, little improvement in spatial resolution will be seen.
The present invention, in contrast, goes beyond the limitations imposed by fixed electrodes by employing a current navigator 140 (
The present invention uses a current navigator 140 to process the dominant FTS component information and concurrently deliver stimuli to precise locations (places) in the cochlea. One technique to achieve this precise delivery, even between electrodes is to use current steering, by delivering stimuli simultaneously in weighted fashion to at least two electrodes in the array (E1 . . . Em). By changing the weights of the relative currents delivered to each of the active electrodes, the peak excitation may be delivered to a location on the cochlea which more accurately reflects the dominant FTS component within a frequency band. Alternatively, as another technique, in accordance with the present method of the invention, the current navigator can use time-multiplexed, non-simultaneous delivery of alternating stimuli to implement virtual electrodes in order to precisely direct stimulation to places on the cochlea. In contrast, with conventional cochlear stimulation, the frequency representation delivered to an electrode is necessarily a fixed, spacial frequency which is disadvantageously dependent on the pre-determined position of an electrode on the cochlea.
With reference to
However, through the application of virtual electrodes, a stimulus current may be centered between two electrodes E1 and E2 (or even more than two electrodes), and the effective centered location of the stimulus, reflecting the position of the virtual electrode, can be anywhere along the line 62 between points 56 and 58. Alternatively, if the current is delivered between electrodes E2 and E3, the location in the tissue where the stimulus is centered may be anywhere along the line 64 between points 58 and 60.
The use of these two different values, I1 and I2, provides a calibration adjustment since placement of discrete electrodes is imprecise relative to target nerves and stimulation thresholds vary greatly between individual electrodes based on a number of factors. One of those factors is anatomical abnormalities in a patient in which some nerve bundles have died and, thus, particular areas of the cochlea may require more stimulation current to produce a given, perceived level of sound intensity.
By adjusting α, the peak excitation point can be spatially moved within the cochlea somewhere between the natural peak of the first electrode (α=0) and the natural peak of the second electrode (α=1). As shown in
The value of a can be computed (estimated) from the FTS analyzer/estimator 35 (
One embodiment of the method of the present invention for determining the values of I1 and I2 derives them from the envelope in a relevant channel. For example, if electrode pair (E1, E2) is used to represent channel 2, then I1=(M1−T1)/IDR*log(envelope channel 2)+T1 (approximately), where M1 and T1 are the most comfortable and threshold levels of stimulus amplitudes, respectively, for electrode 1 and IDR is the input dynamic range. Similarly, I2=(M2−T2)/IDR*log(envelope channel 2)+T2, where M2 and T2 are the most comfortable level and threshold level of stimulus amplitudes, respectively, for electrode 2. The "most comfortable level" is the stimulus level beyond which the stimulus becomes uncomfortable to the cochlear implant patient. The "threshold level" is the stimulus level which is just noticeable or just detectably perceived by the cochlear implant patient. The threshold level of stimulus can be incredibly small, amounting to a stimulus current that recruits just a few ganglion nerve fibers in the cochlea.
In an embodiment of the method of the present invention, if a is estimated to be larger than 1 or less than 0, then the stimulation during this frame is shifted to another stimulation channel. For example, if a equals 1.5, then, in accordance with the present invention, the navigator may direct stimulation to the next set of electrode pairs (E2, E3) using the relative weighting of 0.5. If this electrode pair is past the end of the available electrode pairs in the electrode array, then, to maintain stimulation continuity, only the last electrode in the array can be stimulated.
In another embodiment of the method of the present invention, intermediate pitch sensations may be produced, i.e., again using the concept of virtual electrodes, by stimulating two or more, usually closely-spaced, e.g., adjacent, electrodes in a rapidly alternating, time-multiplexed fashion. This technique may be employed when the pairs of electrodes are close together, such that the electric fields generated by the two electrodes overlap. Using this particular technique for implementing virtual electrodes, a can be estimated and obtained as described previously. The relative amplitudes of the electrode pair (E1, E2) may be set to values Ir(I1, α)*α and Ir(I1, α)*(1−α), where Ir(I1, α) is a function of I1, that would provide an absolute combined stimulus amplitude from electrode pair (E1, E2) which would result in an equivalent perceived loudness that would be produced by a stimulus current presented solely at one electrode, for instance, electrode E1 or electrode E2. In general, this function will be different for different electrode systems and must be estimated using standard loudness balancing techniques.
The advantage of this last technique is that it may implement virtual electrodes in cochlear system that does not support simultaneous stimulation at two electrodes. For example, such a system may not be able to provide independently controlled stimulus at two electrodes at the same time. However, a system may be able to rapidly present a sequence of stimuli in a non-concurrent, time-multiplexed fashion, e.g., stimulus presented in rapid sequence: E1, E2, E1, E2, . . . and so on, where the stimulus presented at the two electrodes may be different amplitudes. The net effect is to employ a virtual electrode somewhere between the two electrodes, E1 and E2.
Hence, through appropriate techniques of current delivery through two or more physical electrodes, to implement virtual electrodes, it is possible to thereby effectively direct the stimulus accurately to any location or place along the length of the electrode array and thus along the cochlear duct in which the array is implanted.
The output stage of the ICS 21 which connects with each electrode E1, E2, E3, . . . Em of the electrode array can be as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,181,969, which patent is incorporated herein by reference. Such output stage can employ programmable N-DAC or P-DAC (where DAC stands for digital-to-analog converter) connected to each electrode so that a programmed current may be sourced to the electrode or sunk from the electrode. Such a configuration allows any electrode to be paired with any other electrode, and the amplitudes of the currents can be independently programmed and controlled to gradually shift the stimulating current that flows from one electrode through the tissue to another adjacent electrode or electrodes, thereby providing current steering. By "independently programmed" it is meant that delivery of each stimulus at each electrode may be current-controlled and separately programmed for pulsewidth, amplitude, and when the stimulus pulse is delivered (non-concurrently or concurrently). The N-DACs and/or P-DACs facilitates implementation of current steering or, alternatively, time-multiplexed, alternating delivery of stimuli.
A two electrode example for producing a virtual electrode has been described. It can be appreciated that three or more electrodes may be selected to interact together to produce a virtual electrode as well. In the two electrode example, both electrodes were cathodes and therefore operating in a monopolar electrode configuration. It is possible that one or more electrode may function as a return anode or anodes, thereby operating in a bipolar electrode configuration. A tripolar electrode arrangement is possible, wherein the middle electrode is an anode and the two outer electrodes are cathodes or vice-versa.
It is emphasized that the method of the invention, as represented in
It is further emphasized that the present method can be used in conjunction with other stimulation concepts including use of (a) virtual electrodes and (b) M of N stimulation strategy. A M of N strategy is a stimulation strategy in which only M number of channels or electrodes are stimulated in one time interval of the N total available channels or electrodes. M is smaller than N, and both are whole numbers. Preferably, N is between 8 and 22 channels or electrodes. Virtual electrodes may be used in such a M of N stimulation system, provided that at least two electrodes are concurrently stimulated, e.g., M is at least 2.
While the invention herein disclosed has been described by means of specific embodiments and applications thereof, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention set forth in the claims.

She reads the sign. "Why the hell I'm asking Sarah Fortune for advice, I'll never understand." She shook her head, and walked into the building, walking up to Sarah, she speaks. "Miss Fortune; there's someone I like, and he likes me as well, but I don't really want to...what do you people call it...'date' him? What should I do?"
Ask Fortune
Dear Morgana
Ask Jarvan IV
(Sorry you three, didn't realize there was another page. ^_^; )
"I have no idea what the last one is, but I don't think I want to know." She sighs. "I meant as in we both like each other, but I'm not sure I want to 'date' him. I do not think I'm ready for it."

Pics of some brugs and other flowers
Today was such a nice day that I decided to leave my bed and go outside to take some pictures. Armed with my camera around my neck and my crouches off I went. It was such a nice view, lots of different color leaves were laying on the ground and the trees were a delight.
I'll start with my double white I bought a few days before I left for Boston. It had 2 blooms when I left. My NOID Pink had some blooms too so I decided to take some pollen from them and put it on the double white. To my surprise when I came back I saw 2 seed pods developing :)) I hope they will stay and mature so I 'll have my first cross.
This is Sanguinea I also bought it before I left.
This is my Pink Noid I propagated. If the weather holds I'll have lots of blooms.
And other stuff I have in the garden right now.
Beautiful Pat; I should have visited you instead of going to the NE states to see changing of leaf color, LOL! Is that a meyer lemon, yummy! And you grew watermelons, wow! I like where you have your princess flower and especially love the way you have that begonia with baby tears on the ground -- so pretty! Hope you are getting better each day.
Pam, the deep blue flower in the last picture is Princess Flower.
Eloise, the lemon is Mayer and is very precious to me. In my previous house I had 2 Meyer lemon trees in the ground. When we redone the patio the constructions guys cut and dug them out. I almost fainted when I came home and saw it. Few month later a shoot came from the ground and my mom was nursing it until it grew in a small tree. When I moved I dug it out and took it with me because reminds me of my mom.
Thanks everyone for your concern. Yes, I am feeling much better. Can't wait to get rid of crouches.
Pat hope you are doing ok...have not gotten to the older posts yet. Starting from the top working my way down. But it is a great sign already that you went outside :-)
So good to see brugs in bloom and cross my fingers for your crossed brug seedpods to develop fully also
Love your Veggies.
My grandkids ripped off the kumquats and played pingpong with em.
But my favorite pictures are the ones were you captured the change of season with the gorgeous color display of the leaves and trees. AWESOME!
Get well
Lucy, I love Autumn and the chance in color of trees but I am happy to see my double blooming. All these month I was drooling when I saw everybody's pictures. The flowers of this brug last for so long. It's been already a week and they are still going and going. The leaves are so velvety.
Glad to hear that you are recovering. Crutches are such a PITA. That's so sweet about your lemon tree. The orange looks great as well. I love the color of your Tibouchina. I've tried keeping them in a container here but they don't do well over the winter for me, even in the greenhouse. I can't wait to see your sang in bloom.
I can not wait to see my sanguinea bloom too. It grew very nice since I bought it.
Ha, ha Karyn, I had to google Tibouchina to find out which one is. I just knew it by the name of Princess Flower. I am learning all the time:)) It is one of my first loves. When I saw it I like it so much that I bought 6 of them. Now I have them all over the yard.

This Hooters is located at Jantzen Beach in Portland. The venue and its sign were once maintained by a local family-owned restaurant, Waddle's. I have a small family connection to Waddle's; My grandmother had a great time visiting there with her cousin who ran/owned the place before it shut down. Waddle's was forced out when Krispy Kreme wanted the location, and the landlord increased the rates for the property lease to an untenable amount for a small business. Then Krispy Kreme crapped out (overexpansion problems), and Hooters swooped in.
Hooters promised to keep the sign (Portland takes its neon seriously), with the iconic clock intact, and they did, sort of, but pretty much changed the whole thing. It went from kitchsy beauty, to, ugh, just an ugly abomination. The sign now reads as either a bad dirty joke, or a poorly worded Public Service Announcement for breastfeeding. You can find some pictures of the old Waddle's signs online at:
content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/hb2199n7cq/ (black and white)
I really could just kick myself for never taking a picture of the sign before Waddle's closed. It was such a landmark neon sign that I unfortunately took it for granted that it would always be around, sigh.
Waddle's (once upon a time) used to offer car service under a carport area in the parking lot - orders were delivered by young women on rollerskates who'd bring the food to your vehicle. I ended up getting to meet one of the waitresses who'd worked for Waddle's back then through an old work acquaintance (it was her mom) and she said it was the most fun and hardest job she'd ever had, and made sure to let me know that there were less orders spilled on the way to the cars than you'd think there might have been.
photos4dreams, asciident, and 3 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Hooters. Oh brother. Sad story. Waddle's was an institution. As venerable as the once upon a time JB roller coaster across I-5. Sad story about the restaurant's demise. Despicable actually. Speaking of venerable neon. The owner of the Palms Motel on Interstate Ave. was complaining a couple of years ago that he couldn't afford to maintain his exquisite neon palm tree and was considering selling it to someone in California. Hope that got resolved.
Nice series of train pics too, Scentzilla.
I ate once at Waddle's (though it wasn't just any regular meal out, but that's another story). I always loved its sign. Thanks for posting all that info about it. :)
Tualatin - It was such a bummer when the place finally shut down, since even up to the last minute they were still clinging to the hope that the landlord might come to their senses and change their mind. And it was made all the worse when contractors came in to change it into a Krispy Kreme but then never finished the work, so the place just sat empty with no tenant at all for months and months and more months.
The Palms sign is alive and well, so to speak. I'm not sure exactly what happened there, but I'm guessing the owner probably came around and remembered that the sign brought in a ton of his business he might not otherwise have. That sign is freaking amazing.
Thanks, my husband has gotten some really amazing train shots, mostly from along the old Southern Pacific line that cuts down the Willamette Valley, though they are grainier since they're from our old FujiPix snapshot camera... maybe I should try to dig those up off the laptop one of these days!
asciident, that old sign was just such a nice marker along the highway. Such a pity Waddle's is no more - I am curious to see what Hooters did with the interior. Not curious enough to patronize their business, but it'd be interesting to see what they did with Waddle's fantastic old counter area!
Used here: consumerist.com/2013/02/22/whoever-stole-a-jukebox-from-h... Pity about the backstory behind the sign though.

Nice vacation nice price
We stayed here for three day about two weeks ago. I was very pleased with resort over all. The staff is very nice. We had a blast with John the bartender. They even have a mini Pizza Hut right there. The pizza was great . Rooms are very nice for the price. I will stay here again next year.
Enjoyed the vacation.
It was a nice place but there was somethings that could be changed. They could moved the restaraunt away from the pool area. You don't want to smell or see anyone in the pool while you are trying to eat. And, for as the karocko goes that needs to in a place of it's own. No one wants to hear that while they are trying to sleep. They just need to move all of those things in a place of it's own. Expand the place and it will be a nice place to visit. In my room there was a lamp that had some electrical tape on it and thats dangerous for children to be around.
This place really is a dump
I went through 6 rooms to find one whose smell i could tolerate. The place reeks of mold, mildew, chlorine, or some other smell. (There were two others trying to change rooms the same time I was.) Outside secruity is a joke
The Price Was Right!!
The inside pool area was incredible along with the hottub. There was a Pizza Hut Express on the pool deck and Karaoke singing from 9-11 P.M.. The outside pool was huge but we were not able to use it because the weather was a bit cool. The rooms are typical of any hotel; well maintained and very clean. Staff and housekeeping were courteous.
I have 2 teens and both of them really enjoyed the facilities. My wife & I would definitely return here again.
AmeriHost Great Fun
I've been to the AmeriHost for the last seven years. I'd say there have been some great improvements to their look and staff. Rockin Robin is great entertainment for the whole family. I know that there are certain families and groups that visit on a yearly basis that ask if she is still their because they look forward to the entertainemnt she provides. As far as the locals go I understand that you have a right to the entertainment but really this is a resort and people are on Vacation give them a chance in they're short stay to be the first to sing, you have all year.
Is a good Deal andd Very Close to Disney
My husband and I stayed there about 2 weeks ago and we are staying there this saturday with my parents. It's a good deal and even though it's not brand new most of the hotels in that area aren't.(Unless you want to stay far away from the parks.) They were curtious and polite. But if you do have a room on the inside facing the indoor pool you'll have to listen to Kareoke until about 10pm. But that was pretty funny anyway. And who goes to bed earlier in Orlando anyway. I geuss the people who gave bad comments are used to shelling out big bucks for five star hotels. Anyway it's nice and I had fun.
My Kids and I Love It Here
After seeing the bad reviews given this hotel, I feel compelled to rebut.
I come to Orlando every year and we stayed in many other similar priced Hotels until we found the Amerihost (formerly Diplomat). The people are some of the most helpful I've had the pleasure to meet. The Indoor pool is always the right temperature and unlike the other review, I've never found it to have too much Chlorine. The outdoor pool is gorgeous and the sand beach is a nice touch.
The Karaoke is lots of fun. The bar is cool. There are activities for the kids, my Son Loves the game room.
And it is wicked close to the Disney Parks. What more do you want?
Amerihoax!! This place is a dump.
Where is the place pictured on the pamplet we got?? The Amerihost looked more like a run down Motel Six. The pools were always overcrowded and we ate at the "resort's" restaraunt which I definitely would not recommend. The Buffet was 10.95 a person and advertised prime rib, fried chicken and fresh ham. I could not find prime rib on the buffet, the only beef product even on the buffet was what appeared to be a burnt hamburger soaking in hot dog juice. What a joke!! There was not hardly anything on it, the dessert advertised turned out to be chocolate and vanilla pudding.
The staff at the "resort"was rude and acted like our visit was an inconvenience. We talked to two other families in town that switched motels after their arrival. We should have done the same. We will never go back and will reccomend that none of our friends waste there time or money at this "resort." I also whould like to know what it takes to be classified as a resort, I am just surprised this dump does not have hourly rates.
We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. The water dripped, when we asked to have it fixed..
1. it was still dripping, although they evidently came to
the room( mind you we have a water shortage). 2. the 2nd time they came we had NO water they turned it off totally. they got it right the 3rd time!!
We ate in the restaurant. We had 3 children and 2 adults. The first night it cost us ( it was all you can eat) $31.89 the waitress added her tip to the total, charged extra for drinks,etc . The 2nd night (all you can eat) our bill
came to $22.40 ( go figure). It seems the waitress' and waiters charge their OWN prices!!
Not a happy camper
We stay at the Diplomat on 6/16-17/02. After calling a few weeks ahead of time and requesting a room close to the elevators, due to a disability, we had a very long walk to the elevators. The room smelled of mold. The pool had way too much clorine. The karoke prevented any sleeping before 11:00 pm in the inside rooms. Also there is too much space between staircases in my opinion, in case of a fire.
We will not stay here again.

Kennedy Space Center
Today we hired a car to go to the Kennedy Space Center (it wasn't a cool car!). When we got there, we saw six massive rockets that weren't used. After that we went into a big building were we did a simulator of a launch, it was really really bumpy. We next went to the angry birds space building were we did a laser room where you have to miss the lasers. Peter did it in 1min 29 seconds and touched 2 lasers, I did it in 2 minutes and 49 seconds ...

After checking out the room we headed over to Downtown Disney for lunch at Earl of Sandwich. My ...

Looks very nice, good luck with it!
Very cool design. I like how well it performs in both text and display. I would love to work with this typeface.
The absence of italics is quite a problem though if I were to use it for text. Are italics planned?
I had not planned for italics. Perhaps if there is an evident demand, I'd be open to drawing them.

Buffalo Wild Wings testing Apple's iPad for quicker customer orderingRestaurant chain Buffalo Wild Wings is expanding a pilot program in which customers place orders for food and drinks via Apple's iPad right from their table.
The iPads are protected in rugged cases from Hubworks, and have already been tested at a Toronto location, but are now moving in to a Minneapolis restaurant. Tim Murphy, director of international business for Buffalo Wild Wings, confirmed the details to Computerworld.
"Ultimately we are trying to use the technology to enhance the customer experience," Murphy said. "People are familiar with iPads, iPhones and Android tablets, so this would enhance that."
In addition to being able to order food and drinks, the iPads also enable customers to check their Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as play games. Buffalo Wild Wings has a total of 830 locations worldwide.
The chain hopes to determine through testing whether the iPads would be better used for entertainment or for purchases. If entertainment becomes one of the primary uses, the restaurant could begin selling advertising to display on the iPads.
By allowing customers to order directly from an iPad, it will free up the restaurant staff to do other tasks like promote food or drinks, or interact with more guests. The case from Hubworks has a charger built into its protective case, giving the iPad 12 to 15 hours of battery life, and it also features a credit card reader for authorizing transactions.
Buffalo Wild Wings isn't the first to use the iPad as a high-tech menu. In another high-profile usage case, last year Royal Caribbean's Splendour of the Seas ship was outfitted to give access to vacationers to an iPad in their cabin, allowing them to use it for a variety of functions around the ship, including room service and restaurant menus.
