Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for diagnosing ovarian cancer in a mammalian subject, preferably in a serum or plasma sample of a human subject. The methods and compositions enable the detection or measurement in the sample or from a protein level profile generated from the sample, the protein level of one or more specified biomarkers. Comparing the protein level(s) of the biomarker(s) in the subject's sample or from protein abundance profile of multiple biomarkers, with the level of the same biomarker(s) or profile in a reference standard, permits the determination of a diagnosis of ovarian cancer, or the identification of a risk of developing ovarian cancer, or enables the monitoring of the status of progression or remission of ovarian cancer in the subject followed during a therapeutic protocol.

Abstract: A wave power generation system includes a power generation component and a hydraulic component. The hydraulic component includes a cylinder and a piston. The cylinder connects to the power generation component. The cylinder has an accommodation space and a vent located in the middle section of the accommodation space such that the vent runs outside from the accommodation space. The accommodation space is used for accommodating a fluid. The piston is disposed in the accommodation space and is used for being guided by the accommodation space and sliding relative to the cylinder. Thereby, this drives the power generation component to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and to force the remaining air in the accommodation space and remaining air in the fluid to be discharged via the vent.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of transferring a carbon conductive film, including: providing a first substrate, and forming an inorganic oxide layer on a surface of the first substrate, wherein the inorganic oxide layer has a total surface energy of 30 mJ/m2 to 75 mJ/m2, and a dispersive surface energy to the total surface energy ratio of 0.4 to 0.8. A carbon dispersion is coated on the inorganic oxide layer, and then dried to form a carbon conductive film on the inorganic oxide layer.

The separated carbon conductive film is attached to a second substrate, thereby transferring the carbon conductive film onto the second substrate.

Abstract: Described are a method and a system for localization of a vehicle. The method includes the acquisition of SPR images of a subsurface region along a vehicle track. Acquired SPR images are compared to SPR images previously acquired for a subsurface region that at least partially overlaps the subsurface region along the vehicle track. In some embodiments, the comparison includes an image correlation procedure. Location data for the vehicle are determined based in part on location data for the SPR images previously acquired for the second subsurface region. Location data can be used to guide the vehicle along a desired path. The relatively static nature of features in the subsurface region provides the method with advantages over other sensor-based navigation systems that may be adversely affected by weather conditions, dynamic features and time-varying illumination. The method can be used in a variety of applications, including self-driving automobiles and autonomous platforms.
