  • Publication number: 20170181985
    Abstract: A method of microfiltration of inhaled air for nasal application and product for reducing the risk of inhalation of fine and ultra-fine (i.e., microscopic and submicroscopic) sized atmospheric pollutants by applying a formulation topically to the skin above the upper-lip and in close proximity of the nasal passages. The products of this formulation, when applied, create an electrostatic field for reducing the inhalation of fine and ultra-fine airborne pollutants.

  • Publication number: 20170187516
    Abstract: A half-rate clock data recovery circuit includes: a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for generating a data sampling clock and an edge sampling clock according to a control voltage; an adjusting circuit for dynamically controlling the VCO to adjust the phase difference between the data sampling clock and the edge sampling clock to be different from 90 degrees in multiple test periods; and a control circuit for instructing the adjusting circuit to respectively utilize different control value combinations to control the VCO in the multiple test periods, and for recording multiple recovered-signal quality indicators respectively corresponding to the multiple test periods. Afterwards, the control circuit instructs the adjusting circuit to utilize a control value combination corresponding to the best quality indicator among the multiple recovered-signal quality indicators to control the VCO.

  • Publication number: 20170182181
    Abstract: Phosphate-based linkers with tunable stability for intracellular delivery of drug conjugates are described. The phosphate-based linkers comprise a monophosphate, diphosphate, triphosphate, or tetraphosphate group (phosphate group) and a linker arm comprising a tuning element and optionally a spacer. A payload is covalently linked to the phosphate group at the distal end of the linker arm and the functional group at the proximal end of the linker arm is covalently linked to a cell-specific targeting ligand such as an antibody. These phosphate-based linkers have a differentiated and tunable stability in blood vs. an intracellular environment (e.g. lysosomal compartment).

  • Patent number: 9691907
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device includes a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell includes a vertical channel, a control gate, a floating gate, and an erase gate disposed on a substrate. The vertical channel extends upwards in a vertical direction. The control gate, the floating gate, and the erase gate surround the vertical channel respectively, and a part of the floating gate is surrounded by the control gate. The erase gate is disposed between the substrate and the floating gate in the vertical direction, and the floating gate include a tip extending toward the erase gate. The vertical channel and electrodes surrounding the vertical channel, such as the control gate, the floating gate, and the erase gate, are used to reduce the area of the memory cell on the substrate of the non-volatile memory device in the present invention. The density of the memory cells may be enhanced accordingly.

  • Patent number: 9691569
    Abstract: A light-transmissible keycap and the manufacturing method thereof are provided. The light-transmissible keycap has multiple light-transmissible symbol areas, and each light-transmissible symbol area has at least one character assigned with a color. Each light-transmissible symbol area is covered with only one light-transmissible color layer. Thus, when an external light is emitted from a light source beneath the keycap, the external light will only pass through one light-transmissible color layer covering that light-transmissible symbol area, and not pass through the light-transmissible color layer covering the other light-transmissible symbol area. Therefore, a bleeding problem due to multiple light-transmissible color layers overlapped and covering the same light-transmissible symbol area is avoided.

  • Patent number: 9686961
    Abstract: A system for operating a robotic arm comprises a carriage and a robotic arm. The carriage is mounted on a track adjacent to a rotary milking platform having a substantially circular perimeter and a stall for a dairy livestock. The carriage moves along a substantially straight portion of the track tangent to and outside the perimeter of the rotary milking platform at a rate based at least in part upon a speed of rotation of the rotary milking platform. The carriage moves in a direction corresponding to the direction of rotation of the rotary milking platform and such movement of the carriage is independent of any physical coupling between the carriage and the rotary milking platform. The robotic arm extends between the legs of the dairy livestock.
