Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a host module having a housing with an accommodation space, a display module and a lift structure. The display module is pivotally connected to the housing by a shaft. The lift structure includes a bottom cover covering the accommodation space, a swing member and a follower member. The bottom cover includes an abutment portion including an abutment surface and located on an end surface of the bottom cover adjacent to the accommodation space. The swing member is in the accommodation space and connected to the shaft. The swing member moves with the display module. The follower member connects to the swing member and contacts the abutment surface. The follower member moves in a first direction according to swinging of the swing member, therefore the follower member abuts against the abutment surface and the bottom cover moves in a second direction to lift up the housing.

Abstract: A urine biomarker is provided, and more particularly, a screening method using the urine biomarker to screen a subject having a high risk of developing diabetic nephropathy is also provided. The urine biomarker of glycosylated uromodulin can be used to detect and predict diabetic patients having a high risk of developing diabetic nephropathy more accurate and earlier than general detection methods of PCR or ACR tests, thereby the patient being screened can be treated earlier and thus prevent deterioration of the progression of chronic kidney disease, and therefore dramatically decrease the risk of death.

Abstract: Provided is a method of preparing a powdery diacetal clarifying agent, which comprises mixing an aromatic aldehyde, a polyol, and an acid catalyst in an organic polar solvent, adding a hydrogenating agent and an inorganic silicon-containing agent into the foregoing mixture, and filtering the mixture. The powdery diacetal clarifying agent prepared by the method can have excellent flowability, dispersability, thermal resistance, and color stability. Accordingly, the powdery diacetal clarifying agent does not release stinking odor and incur yellowing at high temperature, allowing the plastic articles to have improved appearance and visual appeal.

Abstract: Provided are a powdery diacetal clarifying agent and a method of preparing the same. The powdery diacetal clarifying agent comprises a diacetal compound and an inorganic silicon-containing compound having a pH value equal to or more than 6 and equal to or less than 12. The powdery diacetal clarifying agent of the composition can have excellent flowability, dispersability, thermal resistance, and color stability. Accordingly, the powdery diacetal clarifying agent does not release stinking odor and incur yellowing at high temperature, allowing the plastic articles to have improved appearance and visual appeal.

Abstract: An electronic device includes an operation body, a frame and an antenna. The frame encloses a lateral side of the operation body. The antenna is disposed within the frame, and partially exposed outside the frame. The antenna is electrically connected with the operation body to provide a wireless communication function. A wireless communication interference source is disposed within the operation body, or the operation body contains a metallic material. Since the operation body is enclosed by the frame, the frame can protect operation body and prevent collision of the operation body. Moreover, since the antenna is located outside the operation body, the antenna is away from the interference source that is disposed within the operation body. Consequently, the wireless communication efficiency is enhanced, and the inner space of the operation body is saved.

Abstract: The present invention is related to novel 20-sulfonylamidine derivatives of camptothecin (1), method of synthesizing the same, and use thereof as an antitumor agent, for examples an antitumor agent for treating nasopharyngeal, lung, breast or prostate cancer.

Abstract: A creased sticky note with a sticky body, an adhesive layer and at least one crease is provided. The sticky body has an adhesion portion and a flexible portion disposed adjacent to the adhesion portion. The adhesive layer is disposed on the adhesion portion. The at least one crease is disposed on the adhesion portion, or is disposed between the adhesion portion and the flexible portion, or is disposed on a stress hinders area of the flexible portion which is near the adhesion portion.

Abstract: A method and system for joint wireless and fixed network optimization for heterogeneous cellular networks includes performing a feasibility evaluation for an x-haul network comprising at least one of a fronthaul network and a backhaul network, after determining base station locations and radio frequency (RF) parameters. The feasibility evaluation may determine, based on a network graph, which small cell locations are accessible according to actual network demand and based on cost metrics for different types of network links.

Abstract: The present invention provides a series of derivatives of stilbenoid which are useful as new inhibitory agents against head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and hepatoma.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a capacitor structure includes the following steps. Firstly, a substrate is provided. A first conductive layer, a first insulation layer, a second conductive layer and a second insulation layer are sequentially formed over the substrate. A hard mask material layer is formed on the second insulation layer. Then, the hard mask material layer is defined with a photo resist pattern, so that a hard mask is formed. After the photo resist pattern is removed, the second conductive layer is defined with the hard mask, so that a first electrode of the capacitor structure is formed.

Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) network interface controller and an operation mode switching method thereof are provided. The USB network interface controller determines an access point network band of a wireless network access point with which the USB network interface controller intends to connect, and switches from a first USB operation mode to a second USB operation mode to transmit data with a host so that an operation frequency of the USB network interface controller falls outside the access point network band. Afterwards, the USB network interface controller adjusts an operation network band to be the same as the access point network band, and exchanges information with the wireless network access point.
