Abstract: A method for predicting clinical severity of a neurological disorder includes steps of: a) identifying, according to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of a brain, brain image regions each of which contains a respective portion of diffusion index values of a diffusion index, which results from image processing performed on the MRI image; b) for one of the brain image regions, calculating a characteristic parameter based on the respective portion of the diffusion index values; and c) calculating a severity score that represents the clinical severity of the neurological disorder of the brain based on the characteristic parameter of the one of the brain image regions via a prediction model associated with the neurological disorder.

Abstract: A sealing article includes a body and a coating layer disposed on at least one surface of the body. The body comprises a polymeric elastomer such as perfluoroelastomer or fluoroelastomer. The coating layer comprises at least one metal. The sealing article may be a seal, a gasket, an O-ring, a T-ring or any other suitable product. The sealing article is resistant to ultra-violet (UV) light and plasma, and may be used for sealing a semiconductor processing chamber.

Abstract: An electron microscope includes a stage, a charged particle beam generator, a plurality of elemental spectrum detectors and a reader. The stage is configured for carrying a sample. The charged particle beam generator is configured for generating a charged particle beam to bombard the sample. The elemental spectrum detectors is configured for detecting X ray emitted from the sample being bombarded by the charged particle beam and outputting a plurality of corresponding spectrum detecting signals. The reader is configured for calibrating a plurality of counting signals generated by the spectrum detecting signals and summing the calibrated counting signals to obtain an elemental spectrum of the sample. The collection time of elemental spectrum of the above-mentioned electron microscope can be shortened. A reader and an acquiring elemental spectrum method applied to the above-mentioned electron microscope are also disclosed.

Abstract: A management method of a hybrid storage unit and an electronic apparatus of the hybrid storage unit are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a hybrid storage unit. The hybrid storage unit includes a first storage unit and a second storage unit. The second storage unit includes a first storage area and a second storage area. If a relationship between the electronic apparatus and an external apparatus is detected as being an undocked relationship, the first storage unit is disabled by a controller of the hybrid storage unit, and the second storage area serves to simulate and replace the first storage unit. The controller reports a storage unit status change notification to an operating system, so as to allow the operating system to re-enumerate the hybrid storage unit.

Abstract: An electron microscope includes a charged particle beam generator, a detector, a film and a bearing unit. The charged particle beam generator generates a first charged particle beam to bomb an object. The detector detects a second charged particle from the object to form an image. The film disposes on downstream of charged particle beam generator and has a first surface and a second surface. A space between charged particle beam generator and the first surface of film is a vacuum environment. The bearing unit disposes at a side of second surface of film and has a bearing surface and a back surface. The object disposes on the bearing surface of the bearing unit and a distance between an analyzed surface of the object and the film is less than a predetermined spacing. A liquid space exists between the analyzed surface and the film to be filled a liquid.
