In order to ensure the high-temperature working condition of the solid oxide fuel cell system, when a high-temperature component is supported by a bottom supporting plate and a fixed mounting plate, a heat insulation plate is arranged between the high-temperature component and the bottom supporting plate to reduce the heat conduction to the high-temperature component and the heat loss and raise the heat efficiency.

Abstract: In many applications, the assessment of the internal structures of tubular structures (such as in medical imaging, blood vessels, bronchi, and colon) has become a topic of high interest. Many 3D visualization techniques, such as “fly-through” and curved planar reformation (CPR), have been used for visualization of the lumens for medical applications. However, all the existing visualization techniques generate highly distorted images of real objects. This invention provides direct manipulation based on the centerline of the object and visualization of the 3D internal structures of a tubular object without any noticeable distortion. For the first time ever, the lumens of a human colon is visualized as it is in reality. In many medical applications, this can be used for diagnosis, planning of surgery or stent placements, etc. and consequently improves the quality of healthcare significantly. The same technique can be used in many other applications.

Abstract: A system startup method includes creating a first thread when a kernel driver in a kernel mode detects a first disk partition, reading, in the kernel mode, metadata of the first disk partition using the first thread, and writing the metadata of the first disk partition into a first page cache using the first thread. In the kernel mode, metadata of a disk partition is pre-cached into a page cache using the first thread, and in a subsequent process in a user mode, the metadata of the disk partition is directly read from the page cache. A storage area of the page cache is memory and has a higher read/write operation rate compared with a disk.

The anti-HBsAg antibodies have a higher binding affinity to HBsAg at a neutral pH than at an acidic pH, thereby significantly enhancing virus clearance efficiency and prolonging virus inhibition time. The antibodies and pharmaceutical composition may be used to prevent and/or treat HBV infections or diseases related to HBV infection (such as hepatitis B) for use in neutralizing the virulence of HBV in the body of a subject (such as a human) to reduce a serum level of HBV DNA and/or HBsAg in the body of the subject, or to activate a humoral immune response of a subject (such as a person infected with chronic HBV or a patient who has chronic hepatitis B) against HBV.

Abstract: A luminous keyboard and an optical module thereof are provided. The optical module includes a light guide sheet, a reflective film on one side of the light guide sheet, and an optical film on another side of the light guide sheet opposite to the reflective film. The optical film has a mask pattern. The mask pattern defines a light-transparent region, a light-shielding region, and a light modulation region extending from the light-shielding region to the light-transparent region. The light-transparent region allows light to pass therethrough. The light-shielding region blocks light. The light modulation region partially allows light to pass therethrough and partially blocks light, so that an average light-transmitting rate per unit area of the light modulation region is smaller than that of the light-transparent region and larger than that of the light-shielding region.
