Abstract:
A storage device batch and parallel processing method adapted for an electronic apparatus, including: (a) connecting a plurality of storage devices to the electronic apparatus; (b) logging device identifiers and disk identifiers of the connected storage devices respectively into a device identifier table and a disk identifier table; (c) obtaining the device identifiers of a predetermined number of the storage devices from the device identifier table and generating a disk table to store the device identifiers of the predetermined number of storage devices; (d) obtaining disk identifiers of the predetermined number of storage devices and recording the disk identifiers to the disk table according to a logging time of each storage device of the predetermined number of storage devices; (e) controlling the storage devices recorded in the disk table performing a data transfer and recursively repeating (c) to (e) until detecting connections between all the storage devices and the electronic apparatus are cutoff.
Abstract:
We describe a method to diagnose and treat an animal, preferably a human, suffering from a condition, typically cancer, that would benefit from a stimulation of apoptosis in tumour cells and including screening methods to identify new chemotherapeutic agents.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a polypeptide or part thereof which inhibits the apoptotic activity of the tumor suppressor protein p53, and includes screening methods to identify agents which interfere with the activity of the polypeptide.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to methods and kits that allow for classification of colorectal cancer cells according to genomic profiles, and methods of diagnosing, predicting clinical outcomes, and stratifying patient populations for clinical testing and treatment using the same.
Abstract:
An electronic device capable of quickly playing through media files is provided, the electronic device includes an inputting unit configured for inputting operational signals in response to users' operations to the electronic device; a storage unit configured for storing a plurality of media files; a quickly playing through controlling module configured for controlling quickly playing through of media files according to operational signals inputted by the inputting unit, and obtaining a playing time interval confined by a playing start time and a playing termination time; a media file accessing module configured for accessing the storage unit and obtaining sections of the media files according to the playing time interval; a media file processing module configured for processing sections of the media files transmitted from the media file accessing module; a sound outputting unit configured for converting the sections of the media files processed by the media file processing module into audible sounds.
Abstract:
A touch-based apparatus includes a display screen, a sensitive screen, and a micro processing unit. The sensitive screen and the display screen are coupled to the micro processing unit. The display screen is used for displaying images or icons. The sensitive screen is used for detecting positional coordinate of the touched portion. The micro processing unit is used for calculating an area of the touched portion according to the positional coordinate, and adjusting a display ratio of the images and icons based on the calculated areas.
Abstract:
An image sensor includes a pixel array arranged with a plurality of pixel units configured for converting optical image information to electrical signals. Each pixel unit is divided into a plurality of first sensing portions and second sensing portions. Each second sensing portion has different effective sensing area for sensing lights from effective sensing area of each first sensing portion.
Abstract:
A wireless earphone is provided herein. The wireless earphone includes a transceiver, a storage unit, a playing unit, and a speaker. The transceiver is for wirelessly receiving a compressed audio file. The storage unit is for storing the compressed audio file. The playing unit is for decoding the compressed audio file stored in the storage unit, and transforming the decoded audio file into analog audio signals. The speaker is for transforming the analog audio signals into sound. An audio player and an audio playing method are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a modified solid stick composition comprising a thermosetting plasticizer, a resin, a lubricant, a friction modifier, or a combination thereof. The solid stick compositions may be used for application between two metal surfaces in sliding and rolling-sliding contact such as steel wheel-rail systems including mass transit and freight systems. A method of reducing energy consumption, or controlling friction between a metal surface and a second metal surface by applying the solid stick composition to one or more than one of the metal surfaces, is also provided.
Abstract:
A test apparatus adapted for testing different electronic devices is provided. The apparatus provides a standard interface for operating with the different electronic devices. The interface provides an optional interface region, an optional test command region, and a selected test command region. The optional interface region is for displaying optional interfaces. The optional test command region is for displaying optional test commands relating to an interface selected in the optional interface region. The selected test command region is for displaying test commands selected from the optional test command region. In response to a selection on the user interface, the apparatus recognizes the interface and the test commands selected, and transmits instruction sets corresponding to the test commands through the interface recognized to the corresponding electronic device, thereby driving the electronic device performing required tests.
