A method for changing brain wave frequency to a desired frequency determines a current brain wave frequency of a user, generates two frequencies with a frequency difference of a magnitude between that of the current actual brain wave frequency and the desired frequency but always within a predetermined range of the current actual brain wave frequency, and produces an output to the user corresponding to the two frequencies. One apparatus to accomplish the method has a computer processor, a computer memory, EEG electrodes along with an amplifier, a programmable timing generator responsive to the computer processor for generating the two frequencies, audio amplifiers and a beat frequency generator driving a visual frequency amplifier.

First and second ported ducts are associated with a drying chamber. A flow control housing has first and second compartments communicating respectively with the first and second ducts. These compartments also have openings which communicate with atmosphere. A fan is employed which draws air from the drying chamber into one of the ducts and through one of the compartments to atmosphere. At the same time a fan on a common shaft draws in make-up air from the atmosphere and forces it through the other of the compartments and into the other duct for discharge into the dryer. The fans are reversible, and the flow control housing is combined with a double acting heat exchanger which extracts heat from exhaust air in one compartment and transfers it to the other compartment for preheating make-up air. A damper is provided in the flow control housing on the atmosphere side thereof for precise control of exhaust and make-up air.

A method and apparatus designed to expose the power of manipulating data transfer and ownership to the compiler has been given. The key ideas behind the XDP methodology are its separation of data transfer from local computation, its non-blocking semantics to allow overlapping of communication with computation, and its unified treatment of data and ownership transfer. In addition, XDP offers the compiler a convenient platform for doing optimizations involving data movement by providing mechanisms for delayed communication binding and generating generalized compute rules. Compile-time data and data ownership transfers are accomplished independent of the target machine architecture. The run-time symbol table given here to support XDP is implementable as an extension to most high-level compiler intermediate languages. The applicability of XDP is quite general, and is not restricted to the optimization of communication for distributed memory machines. For instance, it can be used to optimize data transfers across different levels of a memory hierarchy.

A novel microwave power divider is disclosed that is a combination of an ort junction circulator and a novel isolator-mismatch device for each circulator port other than one input port and divides microwave signal power incident to the input port into any desired ratio among the output ports and isolates all the ports from microwave power reflected back toward the divider after being propagated through the divider and thus prevents interaction among line devices, e.g. amplifier units, that are fed by the output ports. Also a novel microwave power combiner is disclosed that is a combination of an N-port junction circulator and a novel isolator-reflector device for each port other than one output port to combine at the one output port identical microwave signals or microwave signals that differ in frequency or phase incident to the isolator-reflector devices. The microwave power combiner, like the microwave power divider, provides isolation among the signal transmission lines. Also a novel solid-state microwave power amplifier is disclosed that includes the novel power divider, a solid-state power amplifier unit for each power fraction from the outputs of the divider and the novel power combiner for the amplified outputs of the power divider.

A rack assembly for drying short lumber pieces is provided. The rack assembly includes unitary racks for supporting each tier of lumber pieces in a stack. Each rack includes transverse stickers to separate it from the preceding tier and a number of longitudinal tracks to guide the placement of the short lumber pieces. The pieces are arranged end-to-end in rows extending the length of the rack and the rows are arranged side-by-side across the width of the rack. A method of using such a rack to facilitate the drying of lumber is also provided.

A pulse forming network with distributed inductance and capacitance is diosed for use in a magnetic modulator. The magnetic modulator has a magnetic core with a primary winding and a secondary winding around it. The pulse forming network includes an inner winding of flattened wire around the magnetic core and connected to one end of the secondary winding for receiving an induced voltage. The pulse forming network also includes a metal foil shield around the inner winding, so that the induced voltage may be stored capacitively between the inner winding and the shield. When the magnetic core saturates, the impedance of the secondary winding drops, so that the pulse forming network discharges through a load. The shape of the pulse through the load is determined by the inductance of the inner winding and the capacitance between the inner winding and the shield. The number of turns per unit length of the inner winding, the spacing between the inner winding and the shield, and the dielectric constant of an insulating layer of material between the inner winding and the shield may all be modified to obtain a pulse forming network forming a desired pulse shape.

A standby microwave transmitter power amplifier tube is switched into a mowave power distribution system for a phased array in microseconds when any transmitter tube feeding any one of the radiating elements fails and all the radiating elements continue to be fed by respective transmitter tubes after the switching is completed, the switching being accomplished by changing electrical length of a quarter-wavelength waveguide stub to one-half wavelength by switching a reciprocal latching ferrite phase shifter in the stub, in response to termination of microwave power from one of the feed tubes.

A direct-fired kiln for drying lumber having a reversible powered air-mover mechanism for producing air circulation within the interior of the kiln in either of opposite directions. Selectively controlled air withdrawal conduits returning air to a fuel burner outside the kiln are adjusted so that air is always withdrawn from the side of a load within the kiln where circulated air is exiting from the load.

Elements x in a domain A are hashed into a range B by selecting any one of a plurality of hashing functions which collectively form an almost universal.sub.2 class of functions. The data element to be hashed is separated into individual sub-strings x.sub.1 through x.sub.n of no more than log.sub.2 (b) bits in length, where b is an integer, and the hashing algorithm is a polynomial of the form f.sub.y (x)=(y.sup.0 x.sub.1 +y.sup.1 x.sub.2 + . . . +y.sup.n-1 x.sub.n) (mod b). In general, for a finite field of b=p.sup.k elements, where k is a positive integer, there will be a hash function defined by the formula f.sub.y (x)=y.sup.0 x.sub.1 +y.sup.1 x.sub.2 + . . . +y.sup.n-1 x.sub.n, where the addition and multiplication operations are those defined by the finite field and y is an element of the field. In a second embodiment, the hashing is a two-stage process defined by g.sub.z (f.sub.y (x)), where f.sub.y (x) is defined as above and g.sub.z is a function selected from a known universal.sub.2 class of hash functions.
