Abstract:
An apparatus for light spot servo signal detection for reading an optical recording medium having a plurality of non-writable areas between writable data areas containing address information. An optical pickup provides a light spot to the non-writable areas of the optical recording medium with a predetermined state according to a control signal, and detects optical reflecting signals from the optical recording medium to generate a detection signal. A signal adjusting module offsets signal levels of the detection signal to an operating range to generate an offset shifted detection signal. An analog to digital converter digitizes the offset shifted detection signal to generate a digital signal. A detection circuit detects the servo detection signal according to the digital signal.

Abstract:
A method for evaluating usage of an application by a user on a portable device includes: obtaining an evaluation value regarding usage of the application within an evaluation period, the evaluation value beingassociated with one of an accumulated number of times during the evaluation period, an accumulated usage duration during the evaluation period, and a median/average of multiple numbers of times of the usage at. respective time segments within the evaluation period; generating a comparison result; and based on the comparison result, outputting one of a positive feedback without interrupting execution of the application, and. a negative feedback to require user interaction with the portable device.
Abstract:
A method for evaluating usage of an application by a user includes: obtaining screen information regarding use of the portable device during a predetermined time period; determining a number of times of usage of an application for each day within the predetermined time period; calculating a usage duration for each time of execution of the application; calculating a daily usage duration for each day; selecting at least one usage duration for each day; calculating an evaluation value based on one of the at least one usage duration, the number of times of usage of the application for each day, and the daily usage duration; and generating an evaluation result based on the evaluation value and a preset standard.
Abstract:
An apparatus for improving decoding accuracy of an equalized signal having a direct current (DC) level obtained from an optical disk is provided. A Viterbi decoder is configured to decode the equalized signal and output a Viterbi-decoded signal. A DC controller is configured to adjust the DC level of the equalized signal such that the equalized signal with the adjusted DC level is decoded.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is the use of an extract from an Aster species for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation. The extract is extracted from fresh and/or dried roots and rhizomes of a Tatarian aster (Aster tartaricus) plant, in which the extraction uses water or 40-95% (v/v) ethanol as an extractant to obtain an extraction mixture. In some embodiments, the extraction mixture is then eluted with water followed by at least one eluent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a monochromatic measurement system. The system mainly includes a monochromator, a light-detecting device and a filter device. The monochromator functions to split light under test into respective light beams with different wavelengths. The filter device modulates the transmission efficiency of the respective light beams, so that the wavelengths of the light beams to which the light-detecting device displays a better response have a lower transmission efficiency while the wavelengths of the light beams to which the light-detecting device displays a lower response have a higher transmission efficiency. The response values measured by the light-detecting device with respect to different wavelength intervals are normalized accordingly. The measurement errors attributed to the measurement precision of the instrument and the environmental noise are independent from the variation of wavelength. The reliability of the measurement instrument is elevated.
