Abstract:
A metal member is treated and vibrated with a number of vibrating particles to have the particles to strike and act onto an outer peripheral portion of the metal member in order to smooth the outer peripheral portion of the metal member, the particles are immersed with an additive for allowing the additive to be transmitted from the particles to the metal member and for allowing the outer peripheral portion of the metal member to be polished with the particles, the metal member may have dirt or impurities removed with a sand blasting method. The metal member may be tempered to form an oxidized membrane on the outer peripheral portion of the metal member, and may be immersed with in a rust preventive.
Abstract:
A fingerprint imaging system configured to capture an image of a friction ridge pattern of a subject (e.g., a fingerprint, a palm print, a hand print, a footprint, etc.). The system may include one or more components that reduce the impact of ambient light on the performance of the system. In some implementations, the system may reduce the impact of ambient light without requiring additional power (e.g., to generate an increased amount of radiation) and without including “external” hoods and/or covers designed to block ambient light prior to the ambient light entering system. Instead, the system may reduce the impact of ambient light on performance by blocking ambient light internally within the system along an optical path of radiation used to electronically capture an image of the friction ridge pattern.
Abstract:
A data reading method used in a reading device is provided. The reading device is for reading a hologram storage medium having a plurality of data pages, wherein each data page forms a data image having a plurality of image pixels on a sensing area of the reading device. The sensing area has a plurality of sensing pixels. The data reading method first determines a relative positional relationship between each image pixel and the sensing pixels or the optical quality of the corresponding data image of each image pixel. Next, a corresponding decoding unit of the sensing area is determined according to at least one of the relative positional relationship and the optical quality. Last, each image pixel is decoded by the corresponding decoding unit.
Abstract:
A sliding hinge and an electronic device using the same are provided. The sliding hinge comprising a base and a sliding element is disposed between a first assembly and a second assembly of the electronic device. The base comprising an elastic portion is disposed on the first assembly. The sliding element comprising an adapting portion against the elastic portion is disposed on the second assembly and is coupled with the base. When the first assembly slides relatively to the second assembly, the elastic portion provides an elastic force to the adapting portion for pushing the sliding element, such that the sliding element slides between the first position and the second position on the base.
Abstract:
The invention relates to fungicide and insecticide, especifically to the substituted azole compounds and its preparation method and use thereof. The azole compounds of the invention having general formula (I): The compounds of present invention, having broad spectrum fungicidal activity, applied for controlling various disease in plants. For example they have good activity against the diseases such as cucumber downy mildew, cucumber grey mold, cucumber powdery mildew, tomato early blight, tomato late blight, phytophthora blight of pepper, grape downy mildew, grape white rot, apple ring rot, apple alternaria leaf spot, rice sheath blight, rice blast, wheat leaf rust, wheat leaf blotch, wheat powdery mildew, rapesclerotiniose, corn southern leaf blight. Some compounds have good insecticidal or acaricidal activity and can be used to control insects and acacids of various crops. For example they are used to control army worm, diamond backmoth and aphid, and culex mosquito.
Abstract:
Caspase activity and apoptosis are promoted using active, dimeric Smac peptide mimetics of the general formula M1-L-M2, wherein moieties M1 and M2 are monomeric Smac mimetics and L is a covalent linker. Target cancerous or inflammatory cells are contacted with an effective amount of an active, dimeric Smac mimetic, and a resultant increase in apoptosis of the target cells is detected. The contacting step may be effected by administering to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the dimeric mimetic, wherein the individual may be subject to concurrent or antecedent radiation or chemotherapy for treatment of a neoproliferative pathology.
Abstract:
An equalizer and an equalizing method for equalizing a received signal, where the received signal includes at least one primary interference and a plurality of secondary interferences. The Viterbi equalizer includes a filter module for filtering out the secondary interferences from the received signal to generate a filtered signal, a serial to parallel converter, coupled to the filter module, for generating a plurality of sequences according to the filtered signal, and a Viterbi equalizing module, coupled to the serial to parallel converter, for respectively equalizing the plurality of sequences to generate a plurality of equalized sequences. The architecture of the Viterbi equalizing module is greatly simplified thereby reducing the calculation activity of the Viterbi equalizer as well as maintaining its efficiency.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for correcting symbol timing of a receiver. The receiver receives a signal transmitted by a transmitter based on a symbol period. The method includes: sampling the signal with a sampling period to generate N sampled data in series, wherein the sampling period is half the symbol period; from Kth data of the N sampled data, getting M data to serve as a first data set; performing a timing recovery algorithm upon the first data set to generate a first timing metric; from (Kth+1) data of the N sampled data, getting M data to serve as a second data set; performing the timing recovery algorithm upon the second data set to generate a second timing metric; and correcting the symbol timing according to the first and second timing metrics.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device includes a removable panel (10) defining a first latching hole (122) therein, a knob (30), and a base cover (40). The knob includes an operating portion (31) and a shaft portion (32). A catch (321) extends from the shaft portion. The shaft portion is rotatably received in the first latching hole, with the operation portion being above an upper surface of the removable panel, and the catch being below a lower surface of the removable panel. A second latching hole (450) and a latching hatch (454) are defined in the base cover. The removable panel is attached to the base cover by way of the shaft portion of the knob being inserted into the second latching hole with the catch being received through the latching hatch, and the operating portion of the knob then being rotated so that the catch is engaged below the base cover.
