10-4=6=1*6
22-10=12=2*6
46-22=24=4*6
Multiply 6 by an increasing power of 2 (2,4,8,16,32,...)and add to the previous number.
46+8*6=94
94+16*6=190
190+32*6=382

Your sequence shows this:
4, 10. If you multiply 4 x 2 and then add 2, you get 10. %284+x+2%29+%2B+2+=+10


10, 22. %2810+x+2%29+%2B+2+=+22


22, 46. %2822+x+2%29+%2B+2+=+46

46, ? %2846+x+2%29+%2B+2+=+94

94, ? %2894+x+2%29+%2B+2+=+190

190, ? %28190+x+2%29+%2B+2+=+382

SOooo your list of numbers is: 4, 10, 22, 46, 94, 190, 382.

I hope this helps. :-)
