Abstract: A light-emitting device, including a first type semiconductor layer, a patterned insulating layer, a light-emitting layer, and a second type semiconductor layer, is provided. The patterned insulating layer covers the first type semiconductor layer and has a plurality of insulating openings. The insulating openings are separated from each other. The light-emitting layer is located in the plurality of insulating openings and covers a portion of the first type semiconductor layer. The second type semiconductor layer is located on the light-emitting layer.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a risk of a subject getting a specific disease includes steps of: storing a reference database that contains original parameter sets; selecting target alleles from an SNP profile derived from genome sequencing data of a subject; selecting target parameter sets from among the original parameter sets; calculating, for each of the target parameter sets, a race factor based on a global risk allele frequency and a group-specific risk allele frequency included in the target parameter set; calculating a genetic factor based on statistics, global reference allele frequencies, the race factors for the target parameter sets, and numbers of chromosomes in homologous chromosome pairs included in the target parameter sets; calculating a citation factor based on numbers of citation times included in the target parameter sets; and calculating a risk score based on the genetic factor and the citation factor.

Abstract: A network device transmits broadcasting packets to other network devices in a local area network (LAN) after the network device is connected to the LAN, and receives response packets from the other network devices. The network devices determines whether the network device is a root bridge according to the response packets, and computes power consumption between the network device and each of the other network devices when the network device is the root bridge. The network device selects a path with the lowest power consumption from the network device to each of the other network devices, and builds a new spanning tree according to the selected path.

Abstract: A method for reducing authentication time of a user equipment (UE) in an Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) network using a Femto access point (AP) establishes a secure channel between the Femto-AP and a gateway of the IMS network, performs a Femto-AP authentication with an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server of the IMS network through the secure channel, and obtains a number of virtual Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The method further performs an UE authentication with the AAA server through the secure channel if the UE is a designated equipment in a whitelist of the Femto-AP.
