Apparatus is provided that includes a set of two or more electrodes configured to be placed in electrical contact with a portion of a body of a subject, and at least one computer processor configured to drive the electrodes to apply an amplitude-modulated signal into the portion of the subject's body. The amplitude-modulated signal contains a high frequency component that acts as a carrier wave, the high frequency component having a frequency of between 80 Hz and 120 Hz, and a rectangular low frequency component that acts as a modulating component that modulates the carrier wave, the rectangular low frequency component having a frequency of between 1 Hz and 8 Hz. Other embodiments are also described.

Application of an electrical amplitude-modulated signal to a subject

Apparatus () is provided that includes a battery () including first and second poles (); and a circuit board () that includes electronic circuitry (), the second pole () electrically coupled to the circuitry (). A battery-isolation tab () is removably disposed between the first pole () and the circuitry (), and includes a non-conductive substrate () configured to electrically isolate the first pole () from the circuitry (), while the tab () is disposed between the first pole () and the circuitry (); and a conductive layer () disposed upon the non-conductive substrate (), the conductive layer () being electrically coupled to the first pole () and configured to facilitate electrical coupling of the first pole () to the circuitry (), while the tab () is disposed between the first pole () and the circuitry (). Other embodiments are also described.

Electrode patch

Apparatus and methods are described including placing a set of two or more electrodes () in electrical contact with a portion of a subject's body. At least one computer processor () drives the electrodes to apply an amplitude shift keying signal to the portion of the subject's body, the amplitude shift keying signal containing a high frequency component that acts as a carrier wave, the high frequency component having a frequency of between 80 Hz and 120 Hz, and a low frequency component that acts as a modulating component that modulates the carrier wave, the low frequency component having a frequency of between 1 Hz and 8 Hz. Other applications are also described.

Apparatus for applying an electrical signal to a subject

A system is provided that includes a patch, which includes a plurality of electrodes and is configured to be coupled to a subject; and a mobile device, including a computer processor configured to: obtain a physical location of the subject; obtain, from a remote service, a migraine-related forecast specific to the physical location of the subject; enrich the migraine-related forecast with treatment-related statistics collected from a plurality of other subjects to whom electrostimulation treatment has been applied; present the migraine-related forecast on the mobile device; receive an input from a subject; and in response to the input, while the patch is coupled to the subject, wirelessly communicate a control signal that causes the electrodes to apply stimulation to the subject. Other embodiments are also described.

Treatment of headaches by electrical stimulation

Systems and methods are described, including a system for electrostimulation. The system includes a patch (), including a plurality of electrodes (), and a mobile device (). A processor () of the mobile device is configured to receive an input from a subject () that indicates that the subject is experiencing a headache, and, in response to the input, while the patch is coupled to the subject, wirelessly communicate a control signal that causes the electrodes to stimulate the subject. Other embodiments are also described.

A receiver is provided, which is adapted to receive MPE-FEC frames and to correct erroneous sections within a received MPE-FEC frame by detecting unreliable sections and storing in an erasure list ('ESL') table compressed data that includes the base address of each detected erroneous section, together with the respective section's size. The size of the ESL table may be fixed, or it may correlate, or dynamically change according to the actual number of detected erroneous sections. The data stored in the erasure list may then be forwarded to a decoder to correct erroneous sections. The erroneous sections may be detected by using CRC, and the decoder may be a Reed-Solomon decoder. If the application data table of the MPE-FEC is error-free (or full or errors), in which case the erasure structure list is empty (or full of errors), in which case the erasure structure list is empty (or full), this means that no FEC reception and error corrections are required, because there are no sections to correct in the first case and the decoder is incapable of correcting too many sections in the second case. Therefore, the receiving circuitry, or at least the decoder, may be disabled to save battery power.
