Abstract: A slingshot simulator includes a housing, a trigger mechanism and an elastic band. A window is defined on the housing, a switch is arranged at one side of the window, and a connector electrically connected to the switch is disposed in the housing. The trigger mechanism is arranged on a side outer surface of the housing and at one side of the window corresponding to the switch. The trigger mechanism is able to move relative to the switch to alter an electrical status of the switch. The elastic band is connected to the trigger mechanism and able to actuate the trigger mechanism to move relative to the switch. The electrical status of the switch is altered while a user pulls the elastic band to simulate a bow-shooting operation, and a corresponding signal is delivered via the connector.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for determining incidence of liver cancer in a subject, including detecting methylation level or expression level of one microRNA miR-129-2 in a bio-sample from the subject. In the case that the methylation level of the microRNA in the bio-sample is higher or the expression level of the microRNA in the bio-sample is lower relative to that of the corresponding microRNA in a control sample, indicates that the subject is predisposed to or afflicted with liver cancer.

Abstract: Provided herein is a method for detection of migratory and invasive cancer cells based on a number of marker nucleic acids differentially expressed in migratory/invasive cancer cells relative to nonmigratory/noninvasive cancer cells. Also disclosed are antisense oligonucleotides of the marker nucleic acids and uses thereof for suppressing cancer cell migration and invasion.

Abstract: A connector mounting apparatus includes a mounting bracket and a receiving member. A receiving space is defined in the mounting bracket. The receiving member includes a main body, a first resilient resisting tab extending outward from a base panel of the main body, and a first resilient contacting tab extending inward from the base panel to resiliently abut a connector interface received inside the main body. The main body is received in the receiving space and the first resisting tab resiliently abuts an inner surface of the receiving space.

Abstract: An LED assembly including a heat sink, a surface treatment dielectric layer, an electrically conductive layer, a thermally conductive layer and an LED chip.

Abstract: A method for producing an internal antenna with an anti-electromagnetic interference property by performing a vacuum process, which includes (1) performing a surface pretreatment process on an insulating substrate to clean the surface thereof, (2) placing the substrate into a vacuum chamber, and performing a first plasma bombardment by using a conductive target material; (3) placing the substrate into another vacuum chamber, and performing a second plasma bombardment by using a passivation target material; (4) removing a certain part of the passivation layer and the conductive layer, such that a planar antenna pattern is remained with a certain distance spaced apart from the surrounding passivation layer and conductive layer. The conductive layer and the passivation layer cover the surface of the substrate for completely shielding the electromagnetic interference, and meanwhile, the planar shape of the antenna saves the cost and the available space within the housing.

Abstract: The invention discloses an on-spot hydrophilic enhanced slide/microarray. The preparation method relates to a hydrophobic copolymer prepared by blending, grafting or co-polymerization of a hydrophobic material and a compound bearing functional groups such as anhydride, imide, cyclic amide, and cyclic ester, and application of the hydrophobic copolymer onto an organic or inorganic substrate. The resulting slide has the properties of on-spot hydrophilic/hydrophobic dynamic conversion, as well as on-spot hydrophilic enhancement for the preparation of high-density and high-efficiency bio-chip/microarray.

Abstract: Mobile phones are provided. A mobile phone, switchable between a standard mode and a vibration mode, includes a main body and a movable anti-slip member. The anti-slip member connects to the main body and is movable between a first position and a second position. When the mobile phone is in standard mode, the anti-slip member is situated in the first position and hidden in the main body. When the mobile phone is switched from standard mode to vibration mode, the anti-slip member moves from the first position to the second position and protrudes from the main body.
