In Vacuum PowerBrush™ Kit this paper, we describe two new algorithms which are modifications of the Hestens-stiefl CG-method.The first is the scaled CG-method (obtained from function and gradient-values) which improves the search direction by multiplying to a scalar obtained from function value and its gradient at two successive points along the
