The processed electric signals are transmitted to the CPU controller (14) for analyzing and colligation evaluating, or displaying by a terminal displayer (6), or transmitting the human body plural enginery indexes and the human body healthy evaluation results to a master computer for preserving and processing through data transfer interfaces (15), forming and printing reports. The working method includes receiving and processing the human body plural enginery index signals, and conducting colligation evaluating.
Abstract:
A connection mechanism to connect a first housing and a second housing together is provided. The connection mechanism includes a base, a button, and at least one rotatable member. The base includes at least one first hook and is slidably connected to the first housing. The base is capable of sliding between a first position where the first hook engages the second housing, and a second position where the first hook disengages from the second housing. The button is slidably connected to the first housing. The rotatable member is rotatably connected to the first housing, where one end of the rotatable member resists against the button, an opposite end of the rotatable member resists against the base, and the rotatable member is capable of being rotated about a shaft between the one end and the opposite end.

Abstract:
A universal film mode detection method is presented here which is capable to detect different cadences like 3:2, 2:2, 32322, 4:4 and etc. The film mode detection is based on searching for moving “Sandwich” patterns in the merged adjacent fields. The number of “Sandwich” patterns and amplitude of “Sandwich” patterns are accumulated across the whole field which will be used to determine the film mode. A vertical symmetric “Sandwich” pattern detector is used to avoid different result in ODD and EVEN fields. This improved film mode detection method can provide reliable result for deinterlacer which is used to improve the vertical resolution in interlaced video during converting to progressive. The same structure with different threshold can also provide information for temporal interpolator which can be used to remove judder effect by increasing the frame rate.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions containing a phorbol ester or a derivative of a phorbol ester are provided for the treatment of chronic and acute conditions. Such conditions may be caused by disease, be symptoms or sequelae of disease. Chronic and acute conditions may be due to viral infections such as HIV and AIDS, neoplastic diseases stroke, kidney disease, urinary incontinence, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson's disease, prostate hypertrophy, aging, or the treatment of such diseases. Additional compositions and methods are provided which employ a phorbol ester or derivative compound in combination with at least one additional agent to yield more effective treatment tools against acute and chronic conditions in mammalian subjects.
