Abstract: The present invention provides a heat dissipating structure for a light bulb and enhances the heat dissipating efficiency of the light bulb. The heat dissipating structure comprises a heat dissipating housing and a plurality of fins. The light source is assembled on the plurality of fins. The heat generated by the light source is conducted to the heat dissipating housing via the plurality of fins. In addition, a power driver is disposed at the bottom of the plurality of fins and dissipates heat through the heat dissipating housing. Thereby, the light source and the power driver, which are two heat sources, are disposed separately. Then the heat is transferred to the surrounding environment by means of the heat dissipating housing. Consequently, the overall heat dissipating process is accelerated, thus improving the light emitting efficiency and lifetime of the light bulb.

Abstract: A telephone device includes a base, a light transmitter, a light penetrating element for penetrating light transmitter from the light transmitter, and a handset. When an end of the handset is on-hook with the base, the end of the handset reflects the light emitted from the light transmitter and penetrating through the light penetrating element back to the light penetrating element. The telephone device further includes a light receiver for receiving the light reflected from the handset when the end of the handset is on-hook with the base, a light concentrating element for concentrating the light emitted from the light transmitter to the light penetrating element, and a control unit for determining whether the end of the handset is on-hook with the base according to whether the light receiver receives the light reflected from the handset.

Abstract: A universal content representation system (“UCRS”) implements techniques for universally representing digital content such as files, device information, and applications across a group of electronic devices that includes at least a source electronic device and a remote electronic device. Proxy content items, which correspond with items of content (“source content items”) stored on the source electronic device, are data stores for the corresponding source content items, and visually represent the corresponding source content items on the remote electronic device, whether the source electronic device is online or offline. A user of the remote electronic devices uses the proxy content items to search for and view source content items prior to requesting full access to the source content items. From time-to-time, source content items and proxy content items are synchronized with each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of genetic markers patients with leukemia, especially including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at high risk for relapse, especially high risk B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and associated methods and their relationship to therapeutic outcome. The present invention also relates to diagnostic, prognostic and related methods using these genetic markers, as well as kits which provide microchips and/or immunoreagents for performing analysis on leukemia patients.

Abstract: A card recognition method is disclosed to provide a Micro SD adapter, which has a common insertion slot for the insertion of a M2 memory card or a Micro SD memory card, and a microprocessor with a built-in software program for detecting the potential signal of the inserted memory card and switching on or off the Micro SD memory card signal transmission path or the M2 memory card signal transmission path subject to the detection result, so that an external electronic device to which the Micro SD adapter is electrically connected can communicate with the memory card in the common insertion slot for signal transmission.

Abstract: A sensor for angle measurement of a joint is disclosed. The sensor comprises a code strip, a linear encoder configured to detect relative movement between the linear encoder and the code strip, and a microcontroller configured to compute angular rotation of the joint from linear displacement obtained by the relative movement. The relative movement corresponds to rotation of the joint. A corresponding method and system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A subnetwork of client computers includes a designated relay host computer that communicates through a firewall with an outside server computer located within the same computing environment or over an Internet connection. A specially-designated URL on the server is used when the relay host requests that a downlink connection be kept alive indefinitely with the server computer. The server receives the HTTP request and activates a continuous heartbeat program. Heartbeat messages are sent continuously from the server computer to the relay host to keep the downlink connection open indefinitely. When the server needs to send an urgent message to the client computers it can do so immediately by using the already open downlink connection. The relay host forwards messages to the other component client computers in the subnetwork. The relay host may also use a proxy server. The downlink connection uses a standard request-reply protocol.

Abstract: A card reader is disclosed to include a body, which has a USB plug at one end and an insertion slot at the other end for the insertion of an electronic card, an adapter, which is receivable in a top accommodation open chamber of the body and has a Micro-USB plug and a Mini-USB plug at two opposite sides, and a transmission line, which is receivable with the adapter in the top accommodation open chamber of the body and has a first connection terminal electrically connected to a circuit board inside the body and a second connection terminal inserted into a base of the adapter and electrically connected with the Micro-USB plug and the Mini-USB plug. An electronic apparatus to which the USB plug or the Micro-USB plug or Mini-USB plug of the adapter is connected can fetch data from an electronic card that is inserted into the insertion slot.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a peer-to-peer computer network has a multilevel tree structure that includes a plurality of computers. Each computer belonging to the network is assigned to a level such that it can receive a message from an upstream computer and push the message to a downstream computer. The message, which may be a pattern file of an antivirus program, may be rapidly propagated to available computers belonging to the network by pushing the message from a pattern file server to computers on a top level of the network, from computers on the top level of the network to computers on a lower level, and so on.
