Abstract: A magnetic device includes a housing, a bobbin, at least one coil, and a first magnetic core and a second magnetic core. The housing has at least one side plate and a bottom plate. The side plate stands on the bottom plate and forms a space with the bottom plate. The bobbin is at least partially located in the space. The bobbin has a cylinder. The at least one coil is wound around the cylinder. Each of the first and second magnetic cores includes a center column, a side column, a connecting portion, and a metal clip. The center column is located in the cylinder. The side column is located outside the coil and away from the bottom plate, such that the coil is located between the side column and the bottom plate. The connecting portion connects the center column and the side column.

Abstract: A virtual-reality-based control method and apparatus are disclosed. In the method, a moving instruction initiated by a first object located in a virtual reality scene is detected and a moving request is transmitted to a server based on the moving instruction. A movable area is received from the server in response to the moving request, wherein the movable area does not overlap with a safe area of a second object, the second object being an object other than the first object in the virtual reality scene. The first object is prompted to move within the movable area.

Abstract: A channel multiplexing method for reading array detector signals includes: dividing array detectors into M groups, at least two detectors being in each group; array coding the read channel to read M row signals and N column signals, which means when a signal is outputted at the detector in row a, column b, the signals of row a and column b are outputted correspondingly; connecting the readout signals of-the row and the column to different positions of two transmission lines respectively; determining the source row number and column number of the signal on the basis of the time difference between the time of signal reaching two ends of the transmission line, and marking the source detector from which the signal is generated on the basis of two time differences of the row signal and the column signal.

Abstract: A crystal-array module includes a number of unit crystal strips. The three-dimensional shape of the crystal-array module is a frustum or a combination of a right quadrangular prism and the frustum. The frustrum includes a first bottom face coupled with a photoelectric device and a first top face opposed to the first bottom face. The area of the first bottom face is smaller than that of the first top face. A fabrication method of the crystal-array module includes joining cut unit crystal strips or cut unit crystal strip arrays together.

Abstract: A system and method of obtaining information concerning the structure-function relationship of biological networks can be studied holistically through the ensemble characterization of all the networks that realize a given biological function. A logic-based approach enables significant advances in computability and concept development (minimality and reducibility). The approach is applied to a biologically relevant trajectory and reveals some interesting properties. By using the approach, a cell cycle network is decomposed into three components with the functioning of each component explained.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for identifying, designing, and synthesizing proteins and protein backbones. The invention permits the qualitative identification of designable protein configurations and synthesis of protein folds. The method and system involve generating backbone protein configurations using a set of dihedral angle pairs, normalizing the total surface exposure of the configurations; generating a random set of sequences of hydrophobicities with uniform weight on the space of allowed sequences; determining, for each randomly generated sequence, which of the remaining configurations is the ground state; recording a ground-state configuration for each sequence wherein the desirable configurations are those containing the most sequences with that configuration as their ground state and finally, synthesizing sequences of amino acids for the desirable configurations.
