  • Patent number: 11768424
    Abstract: A fixing device for accurately fixing an optical assembly to a rear housing of an electronic device fixes the optical assembly in a predetermined position and includes a cover plate. The cover plate defines a hole and a limiting portion. The hole corresponds to a photosensitive portion of the optical assembly and the photosensitive portion is configured to protrude out of the cover plate. The limiting portion is configured to limit a movement of the optical assembly away from the rear housing before being fixed in position. The fixing device fixes the optical assembly in the predetermined position so that the assembly accuracy and efficiency are improved. An optical module including the fixing device, and an electronic device including the optical module are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20120184453
    Abstract: Methods for determining the likelihood of colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence in a subject that involve measuring the expression level of two or more micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) in a biological sample comprising CRC tumor cells from said subject and using the normalized, measured expression levels to determine the likelihood of colorectal cancer recurrence for said subject. In the methods, the normalized expression levels of specific miRNAs are weighted by their contribution to CRC recurrence to calculate the likelihood of CRC recurrence. Kits for measuring the expression level of specific miRNAs that can be used in determining the likelihood of CRC recurrence are also provided.
