Abstract: A storage apparatus includes a first storage unit and at least a second storage unit. A method for accessing the storage apparatus generates a plurality of bad block lists regarding the plurality of the storage units, respectively, and according to at least one bad block indicated by a bad block list of the first storage unit, configures at least a good block in each second storage unit corresponding to the at least one bad block of the first storage unit as a replacement block of each second storage unit. Accordingly, the method generates a mapping result of each second storage unit according to a bad block list of the second storage unit and each replacement block, and accesses the storage apparatus according to the bad block list of the first storage unit and each mapping result.

Abstract: A system for displaying images includes a liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel comprises a color filter substrate having a light shielding layer on a peripheral area and a common electrode on a display area and the peripheral area, and an array substrate having a pixel electrode on the display area and a separate and independent electrode with a fixed voltage on the peripheral area. The liquid crystal display panel further comprises a liquid crystal layer between the color filter substrate and the array substrate.

Abstract: An intelligent channel allocation method is used for detecting and avoiding a second wireless communication system taking advantage of the characteristic of a first wireless communication system in two different wireless communication system. The first wireless communication system features a narrower bandwidth, while the second wireless communication system has a non-fixed length of a frame for sending/receiving or a broader bandwidth. When these wireless communication system use a same radio frequency (RF) band, the carriers used by them are overlapped. To avoid the mutual interference, the first wireless communication system uses a background scanning mechanism to simultaneously detect the second wireless communication system and a presence range of the second wireless communication system is decided, followed by executing a handover scheme.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method to immobilize high density of cell-specific ligands on polymeric surface for cell engineering applications. This method combines a surface-grafting polymerization procedure to yield high density of functional groups, and a chemical conjugation step to link cell-specific ligands to the surface functional groups. This surface functionalization scheme can be applied to polymeric materials in various forms, such as polymer membrane, film, fiber, hollow fiber, foam, etc. Tissue-engineering scaffolds can be functionalized with cell specific ligand in the same manner.

Abstract: The invention provides a base station for connection of a low-power and a high-power radio telephone network. The high-power radio telephone network comprises a first and a second terminal, while the low-power radio telephone network comprises a third terminal. The first terminal has a first interface for communication with an external device. The base station, which operates for the low-power radio telephone network, has a second interface compatible to the first interface, and communicates with the first terminal of the high-power radio telephone network through the connection of the first and second interface. Therefore, the third terminal of the low-power radio telephone network communicates with the second terminal of the high-power radio telephone network under the operation of the first terminal and the base station.
