Abstract: A method of forming a bi-metallic casting. The method includes providing a metal preform of a desired base shape defining a substrate surface and removing a natural oxide layer and surface contamination from the substrate surface to yield a cleaned metal preform. The method further includes galvanizing the cleaned metal preform, yielding a galvanized metal preform followed by electroplating a thin nickel film on at least a portion of the substrate surface of the galvanized metal preform. Additionally, the method includes metallurgically bonding the portion of the metal preform having the nickel film with an overcast metal to form a bi-metallic casting. The nickel film promotes a metallurgical bond between the metal preform and the overcast metal.

Abstract: Provided herein is technology relating to treatment of neurological disorders and particularly, but not exclusively, to methods and compositions for treating neurological disorders caused by aberrant and/or dysregulated expression and/or activity of Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) with agents that modulate physiological components associated with the functions and/or dysfunctions of Dscam, e.g., physiological components that can be modulated to counteract aberrant Dscam expression and/or activity such as Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homolog 1 kinase.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for controlling short message terminated flow, including: a process that a SMS message center setting a terminated flow control threshold of a mobile switching center and controlling the terminated flow according to the threshold; the process including a step of the SMS message center dynamically setting the terminated flow control threshold according to the operation blocking level of short message service of the mobile switching center. The present invention also discloses a system for controlling short message terminated flow. With the SMS message center dynamically adjusting the terminated flow control threshold according to the load condition of the short message service of the mobile switching center, the present invention achieves adaptive terminated flow control of the mobile switching center and improves effectiveness of the flow control.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing device for enabling a totally inresistant colorless, wherein a dropping unit is configured to separate multi-wavelength optical signals which are among direction 1˜X and are broadcast inputted in a circuit direction, switch the multi-wavelength optical signals among the direction 1˜X to any corresponding output port through multiple N×N optical switches, and send the optical signals to a corresponding Receiver (RX) after combining the received optical signals by a corresponding K×1 coupler/optical switch; an adding unit is configured to broadcast the optical signals sent by a Transmitter (TX) to the multiple N×N optical switches through N 1×K couplers/optical switches, switch the optical signals to any corresponding output port by each optical switch, and output the corresponding optical signals in the direction 1˜X to the circuit direction after the optical signals are implemented with optical multiplexing; wherein, X is an integer

Abstract: A housing includes a first base layer and a second base layer integrally combining with the first base layer. The first base layer is formed by a first injection mold, the first base layer has a first combining surface arranged with ribs. The second base layer combines with the first base layer to form the housing with a second injection mold. The second base layer has a second combining surface combining with the first combining surface. The second combining surface defines recesses to correspondingly receive the ribs.

Abstract: A method and a system for implementing time processing of a message are provided in the present invention. The method includes: when determining that the time information in the received message needs to be processed according to a customized mode, performing the time conversion on the message according to the customized mode; distributing the message after the time conversion. The time information in the message can be processed according to the customized mode, thereby enabling the message, based on the actual requirements of the user terminal, to be displayed in manner of flexible time format, avoiding a confusion of the message time for the user and ensuring a better development of user message services.
