Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication terminal. The processor is configured to receive, from a base wireless communication terminal through the transceiver, a first frame including first information indicating a duration required for a pending frame exchange sequence and second information indicating a frequency band which is allocated for transmission of a second frame, wherein the pending frame exchange sequence is a transmission sequence between one or more wireless communication terminals, set a network allocation vector (NAV) according to the first information indicating the duration for the pending frame exchange sequence, and reset the NAV when the wireless communication terminal does not receive a PLCP Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) for a reference time from a time point at which the first frame is received.

Abstract: A method for preventing a differential cryptanalysis attack is provided. The method is implemented by an adaptive scan chain, a control module, and a plaintext analysis module. The plaintext analysis module controls the adaptive scan chain, so that two plaintexts differing in the last bit of only one byte are input through scan chains with different structures. Consequently, the two input plaintexts for which differential cryptanalysis attack technology originally can be used to crack the key are unable to generate outputs that can be used by the differential cryptanalysis attack technology.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a selective disengagement mechanism that allows a vehicle passenger, e.g., driver, to pre-emptively prepare to override autonomous control of a vehicle. A selective disengagement switch may be actuated by the driver. An autonomous control system of the vehicle, unaware of the selective disengagement switch operation, may at some point erroneously command the vehicle to move. Because the driver has actuated the selective disengagement switch, upon receipt of the erroneous command to move the vehicle, the autonomous control system may be overridden. The driver need not react to a safety-critical event or scenario.
Abstract: An example of an apparatus including a communication interface to receive an image file is provided. The image file represents a scanned image of a output generated by a printing device. The apparatus further includes an identification engine to process the image file with a convolutional neural network model to identify a feature. The feature may be indicative of a potential failure. The apparatus also includes an image analysis engine to indicate a life expectancy of a part associated with the potential failure based on the feature. The image analysis engine uses the convolutional neural network model to determine life expectancy.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of medical technology and relates to a class of functional small molecules targeting proteolysis pathways, a preparation and an application thereof. Specifically, the present invention relates to functional small molecules represented by formula (M) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as the application of said compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof in the preparation of tumor-treating drugs. The functional small molecules are obtained by means of linking a compound containing a peroxide bridge linkage and a substrate of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The related functional molecules can promiscuously target and bind to multiple proteins comprising functional proteins in the proteolysis pathway and have anti-tumor biological activity.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved genome editing construct which is capable of editing a target sequence in an HDR-dependent manner (i.e., “HDR-dependent genome editors”) with increased efficiency and reduced indel formation and which does not require a dividing cell. In particular, the instant specification provides a new fusion protein comprising a nucleic acid programmable DNA binding protein (napDNAbp) (e.g., Cas9) with a nickase activity and a single-stranded DNA binding protein (e.g., Rad51) which edits a target DNA in an HDR-dependent manner with greater efficiency (e.g., increased rate of induced HDR) and/or with a lower rate or occurrence of indel formation.

Abstract: A positioning method of functional rotation center of shoulder based on rigid upper arm model includes: step 1: abstracting a human upper arm into a cylinder with FRCS as a center of top surface; step 2: determining a reference axis vector of the cylinder; step 3: determining an axis vector of the cylinder and a displacement from the reference axis vector to the axis vector; step 4: correcting a central axis direction of the cylinder; step 5: determining a height compensation of the cylinder, and positioning the FRCS. The method has higher accuracy for the positioning result of FRCS, the positioning result of FRCS has better stability relative to the upper arm and trunk, and can be used to establish a more accurate human digital dynamic model and predict more accurate human posture.
