A method for determining field readiness using moisture modeling of a plurality of fields in a region of interest includes (a) generating a detailed set of moisture factors covering a plurality of scenarios for each field element of the plurality of field elements for a particular field; (b) repeating act (a) for each field of the region of interest; (c) generating a general set of moisture factors for a particular field of the plurality of fields to be applied to each field element of the plurality of field elements in the particular field; (d) repeating act (c) for each field of the plurality of fields in the region of interest; and (e) estimating soil moisture for each field element in the region of interest based on the detailed set of moisture factors and the general set of moisture factors.

A system and method may assist in accurately inserting user data into a form document. An attribute may be received from a user, where the attribute is associated with an attribute name. A document may be presented including a form field element having an identifier. User information may be received into the form field element. It may be determined whether the user information matches the attribute. If so, the identifier associated with the form field element is mapped to the attribute name and the mapping is stored. Upon subsequent display of the form document, user data associated with the mapped attributed name may be inserted into the form field element based on the mapping.

Binary data representing a code word of an error-correcting code is used for calculating a syndrome, wherein a given portion of the binary data comprises k groups of data bits and represents a field element of the finite field GF(pk), p being an odd prime number, the field element comprising k coefficients in accordance with a polynomial basis representation, each group of data bits of the given portion representing a corresponding one of the k coefficients. The given portion, is stored in a first general purpose register and is processed such that the k groups of data bits of the given portion are processed in parallel; determining whether the syndrome is equal to zero; and detecting and correcting errors in the binary data if the syndrome is not equal to zero.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for moving a target element which comprises a magnetic material and an active agent, through an object, placing the target element at a predetermined position within the object and activating the active agent. The apparatus comprises: a selection unit comprising a selection field signal generator unit and selection field elements, such as selection field magnets or coils, for generating a magnetic selection field having a pattern in space of its magnetic field strength such that a first sub-zone having a low magnetic field strength and a second sub-zone having a higher magnetic field strength are formed in a field of view, a drive unit comprising a drive field signal generator unit and drive field coils for changing the position in space of the two sub-zones in the field of view (28) by a magnetic drive field unit so that the magnetization of the magnetic material changes locally, and a control unit for controlling the signal generator units to generate and provide control currents to the respective field coils to generate appropriate magnetic fields for moving the target element through the object in a direction instructed by movement commands, for placing the target element at the desired position within the object and for activating the active agent when the target element has reached the desired position.

Methods and apparatus are provided for encoding data. The method includes (a) providing a first table of first component values multiplied by code generator coefficients and a second table of second component values multiplied by the code generator coefficients, (b) determining a Galois field element based on a message symbol and a high order remainder symbol, (c) separating the Galois field element into first and second components, (d) using the first component and a generator coefficient index to access one or more first table values in the first table and using the second component and the generator coefficient index to access one or more second table values in the second table, (e) determining a current remainder symbol based on first and second table values having equal generator coefficient indices, and a previous remainder symbol, (f) performing step (e) for each generator coefficient of the code generator to provide a set of remainder symbols, and (g) performing steps (b)–(f) for each message symbol in a codeword to provide a set of final remainder symbols which constitute check symbols to be transmitted with the message symbols of the codeword.
