Abstract: A door handle assembly includes a chassis, first and second trim plates, and a latch assembly. The chassis includes an interior chassis portion and an exterior chassis portion. The interior chassis portion is configured to extend from a first side of a door and includes at least one trim engagement mechanism. The exterior chassis portion is configured to extend from a second side of a door and includes at least one trim engagement mechanism. The first trim plate is configured to removably engage the first trim engagement mechanism, optionally via a trim plate adapter. The second trim plate is configured to removably engage the second trim engagement mechanism, also optionally via a trim plate adapter. The latch assembly extends between the exterior chassis portion and the interior chassis portion. The first trim engagement mechanism and the second trim engagement mechanism are capable of removably engaging with interchangeable trim plates.

Abstract: A method for preparing antibacterial stainless steel by surface alloying includes the steps of coating an infiltration promoter layer on a stainless steel surface, coating an antibacterial metal layer on a surface of the infiltration promoter layer, and performing heat treatment of the stainless steel to diffuse an antibacterial metal into the stainless steel. This method can be applied to various types of stainless steel, and the antibacterial metal can be diffused and quenched into the stainless steel, such that the finally formed surface of the stainless steel has an antibacterial alloy layer with a specific thickness to provide better corrosion resistance and antibacterial ability without changing the advantages and properties of the antibacterial metal or stainless steel substrate, and the thickness and concentration of the antibacterial metal layer, and the parameters for heat treatment can be adjusted to control the chemical composition and thickness of the antibacterial alloy layer.

Abstract: The disclosure describes novel systems, methods, and compositions for the manipulation of nucleic acids in a targeted fashion. The disclosure describes non-naturally occurring, engineered CRISPR systems, components, and methods for targeted modification of nucleic acids such as DNA. Each system includes one or more protein components and one or more nucleic acid components that together target nucleic acids.

Abstract: Data input supporting method and apparatus are disclosed. The data input supporting method includes receiving virtual data sent by an intelligent mobile device, analyzing the received virtual data according to a pre-stored key value mapping file, the key value mapping file saving a mapping relationship between the virtual data and a real instruction, encapsulating the real instruction obtained by analyzing the virtual data, and sending the encapsulated real instruction to a pre-established virtual device node, filling the real instruction into a corresponding system function by the virtual device node automatically according to an instruction type; and responding to a kernel space data injection event generated by filling the real instruction into the system function. Embodiments of the invention can support non-contact control of the intelligent mobile device to an electronic product through a wireless connection, thereby providing desirable user experience.
