Preferred systems for assisting clearance of an acutely thrombosed artery substantially surrounded by boney external body surfaces which are resistant to deformative displacement relative to the thrombosed artery by the application of external percussive force are described. The method consists of applying targeted, localized, non-invasive, high infrasonic to low sonic frequency vibratory percussion with a serial impact frequency much greater than the pulse rate of a patient being treated, the percussion directed towards a remote, preferably superficial “target vessel” residing palpably close to the skin surface. Marked vessel deformations with resultant blood pressure and flow fluctuations are thereby induced by the percussion within the target vessel which propagate to the acutely thrombosed artery to provide localized agitation and turbulence to assist thrombolytic and / or IV microbubble delivery and effectiveness in facilitating reperfusion. Preferred apparatus for treatment of ST elevation myocardial infarction, acute ischemic stroke and acute pulmonary embolus are presented.

A memristor-based circuit includes a voltage generator that applies a series of voltage pulses to a memristor to progressively change the resistance of the memristor. A comparator: receives an input electrical value; receives an electrical value based on the resistance of the memristor; compares the received values; and, based on the comparison, enables the application of the voltage pulses to the memristor by the voltage generator until a defined condition is satisfied. This circuit can be used to enable the memristor to be programmed to a desired resistance value, such as for use as a non-volatile memory. It can also enable the resistance of one memristor to be replicated to another memristor. By counting the number of applied voltage pulses, the circuit can be used as an encoder or analog-to-digital converter.
