Abstract: A noncontact, multi-wavelength time-resolved laser speckle contrast imaging (MTR-LSCI) technique provides for continuous, fast and high-resolution 2D mapping of tissue blood flow (BF) and tissue blood oxygen saturation (StO2) at different depths of target tissue. MTR-LSCI illuminates the tissue with picosecond-pulsed, coherent, widefield light at least at two different wavelengths in the near-infrared range (600-1100 nm) and synchronizes a high-resolution, gated single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) camera to capture BF and StO2 maps at different depths of target tissue, wherein the imaging depth depends on light propagation inside a tissue volume, captured by the time-gated camera. The reconstruction of BF and StO2 maps can be dramatically expedited by incorporating highly parallelized computation and convolution functions. The performance of MTR-LSCI was evaluated using head-simulating phantoms with known properties and in-vivo rodents with varied hemodynamic challenges to the brain.

Abstract: Disclosed are a positive electrode plate and a battery. A relationship is established between a thickness of an electrode plate, distribution of lithium cobalt oxide with a structure of different contents of element aluminum, and full battery cycling performance. That is, based on a thickness of the electrode plate, lithium cobalt oxide with an appropriate content of the element aluminum is selected, and distribution in a thickness direction of the positive electrode plate is changed, so that the content of Al in the thickness direction of the electrode plate generally presents a distribution trend of less content of Al in a bottom layer and more content of Al in a top layer. In this way, a problem of deterioration of high temperature cycling of a lithium-ion battery due to decreased structural stability of existing lithium cobalt oxide may be solved.

Abstract: In a rotating magnetic field-variable pyramid energy cabin, shielding plate permanent magnets are disposed on inner surfaces of three triangular shielding plates forming a pyramid shape, to form a stable magnetic field in the triangular shielding plates. A top rotating magnet is disposed at a top of the triangular shielding plates. A bottom rotating magnet is disposed below a seat. The magnetic field in the triangular shielding plates is rotated, to enable a vortex in turbulence of magnetic lines of force to generate a torsion field. The torque of the torsion field changes the spin states of electrons and atomic cores in a hypoxic microfield in the body of a patient, to arrange the electrons and atomic cores in a uniform magnetic field direction. The magnetic actuation of the electrons and atomic cores can make the microfield environment serialized and orderly and increase the negentropy.

The second electronic device plays the multimedia content based on the control instruction.

Abstract: A logical clock is implemented in networked nodes. Messages between nodes can include either a scalar timestamp or a vector timestamp. The scalar timestamp leads to an overhead reduction, and nodes can select whether to send a scalar or vector timestamp depending on requirements. Message recipients update their logical clock vector differently depending on whether the scalar or vector timestamp is received. Applications to multi-master databases are also provided. The clock conforms to Lamport clock requirements when the scalar timestamp is sent, and conforms to both Lamport and vector clock requirements when the vector timestamp is sent.
