Abstract: In a file distribution method using a control server in connection to file servers, file categories are preset and the file servers are classified into the file categories. When a file is received, a file category of the received file is determined, and the received file is distributed to a target file server according to the determined file category. The method determines a load value of each of the file servers according to a number of files to be processed in each of the file servers. A specified file server whose load value is equal to a threshold value is determined, and an overload file server having a greatest load value is determined. The method distributes files to be processed in the overload file server to the specified file servers according to a predetermined percentage.

Abstract: At least two task servers connect to a database server. The database server includes a task list. A task server accesses the task list to search a task which is an earliest presenting task. When the searched task has not been executed, the task server marks the searched task with a serial number of the task. The task server records an execution start time of the searched task. When a time of executing the searched task is more than a predefined time, the task server prompts a user to deal with an error of the task server.

Abstract: Programs in a host server are the same as programs in a backup server. When the host server is executing handling items in the host server and a system time of the server exceeds an earliest predefined handling time of the handling items, a handling item with the earliest predefined handling time is determined as in error, and a corresponding program in the backup server is executed. When a system time of the backup server exceeds an earliest predefined time of the corresponding program in the backup server and a handling item with the earliest predefined handling time in the backup server is the same as the handling item which is in error in the server, the backup server is switched as a new host server and the host server is switched as a new backup server.

Abstract: A computer parses a fee list from a patent office website and saves each fee record of the fee list into a data list stored in a database. The computer calculates a first fee of each case in the data list and a second fee of each case in the patent management server. The computer notifies a person in charge of checking fee, in response to a determination that the first fee of the case does not match the second fee of the case.

Abstract: In a method for displaying scalable vector graphics (SVG) images, a data acquiring method and a web document are created in a client device, data acquiring parameters are transmitted to a server using the data acquiring method, and query data corresponding to the data acquiring parameters are received from the server. The query data are stored in a data container of the web document, the query data are loaded from the data container of the web document to a preset image document, first types of elements that draw specified graphic shapes and second types of elements that display the query data on the specified graphic shapes are created. An SVG image is created using the first types and the second types of elements, and the SVG image is displayed on a display screen of the client device.

Abstract: In a method for controlling movement of scalable vector graphics (SVG) images which allows display and examination of all parts of an SVG image even when zoomed in, an image display area and an event detection area for the SVG image are determined on a display device. An updated position of the image display area is determined according to current coordinates of a cursor of a mouse on the display device when a mouse event is detected in the event detection area. The SVG image is displayed at an updated position of the image display area, to generate a drag operation of the SVG image on the display device.

Abstract: In a data processing device for automatically submitting prior art, a computerized method and a non-transitory storage medium are employed.

Abstract: A computer reads an element information list from a file stored in a database of the computer, and generates first element identifiers according to the element information list. The computer marks a second element identifier in content of the file, in response to a determination that the first element identifier is different from the second element identifier corresponding to the first element identifier.

Abstract: In a method for processing an image file using a computing device, an image file from a storage system is read. If an image in the image file is slanted, an incision coordinates according to a configuration file in the storage system and a preset formula is calculated. The method incises the image using the calculated incision coordinates and storing the incised image in a new image file. If an image in the new image file is not slanted, the method further determines whether the image has been incised. If the image has been incised, the method records the calculated incision coordinates that make the image not be slanted as optimal incision coordinates, and stores the optimal incision coordinates into a database.

Abstract: A multi-coordinate orthodontic implant positioning device includes a measuring reference member having a predetermined thickness and being provided thereon with measuring scales formed of a radiopaque material. The measuring reference member is connected at an edge to a fixing member for fixedly attaching to the patient's teeth. The measuring scales define a coordinate-type positioning structure, which includes at least a main coordinate system and a sub-coordinate system. The main coordinate system divides the positioning structure into a plurality of coordinate blocks, each of which has a main coordinate code readable from the main coordinate system; and the sub-coordinate system is provided in some specified ones of the coordinate blocks. Since the main coordinate system and the sub-coordinate system are two different and independent coordinate systems, the use of them enables primary and more accurate positioning of an implant point to effectively upgrade the efficiency in the orthodontic implant surgery.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for detecting the genome-wide presence of methylated DNA and palindrome formation. The present disclosure also provides methods for specific enrichment of methylated DNA or DNA having a DNA palindrome. These methods have demonstrated that somatic palindromes and methylated DNA occur frequently and are widespread in human cancers. Individual tumor types have a characteristic non-random distribution of palindromes in their genome and a small subset of the palindromic loci are associate with gene amplification. The disclosed method can be used to define the plurality of genomic DNA palindromes and regions having methylated DNA associated with various tumor types and can provide methods for the classification of tumors, and the diagnosis, early detection of cancer as well as the monitoring of disease recurrence and assessment of residual disease.
