Abstract: Power consumption is estimated for an application being executed by a circuit. Power consumption values are estimated for a set of base events executed by the circuit. The application is then reduced to an equivalent sequence of base events selected from the set of base events. Lastly, the estimated power consumption values for the base events in the equivalent sequence of base events are summed.

Abstract: A device and methods are described for a non-invasive transnasal and transocular drug delivery to the central nervous system using iontophoresis technology. By delivered through the olfactory nerve and the optical nerve, a biologically active substance of interest can be enhanced to be delivered into the CNS and CSF and bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Such drug delivery system can also be enhanced by using phonophoresis and other enhancement techniques.

Abstract: A device to enhance the delivery of a drug or other substance of interest into a selected organ or tissue, comprising special electrodes, one of the electrodes carrying a container with the selected drug or other substance of interest, said electrodes being capable of being positioned at preselected locations of said organ or tissue, wherein the electrodes are all connected with a selected energy source which generates and maintains an energy field before and during the enhanced delivery of said substance, under the influence of which delivery is accomplished in a direction from the active to the passive electrode and into said organ or tissue. The energy source may be selected from suitable sources providing an electric field, a magnetic field, ultrasonic waves, high energy waves like laser beams, or a combination thereof.
