Abstract: A method for controlling access to an electronic device, the electronic device activates a motion sensor to detect movement parameters, of a spatial moving operation of the electronic device, when a display device of the electronic device awakes from a sleep mode. once the movement parameters detected by the motion sensor match predetermined reference parameters, the electronic device is unlocked.

Abstract: Provided herein is technology relating to proteases and proteomics and particularly, but not exclusively, to compositions comprising OmpT, methods of using OmpT, and methods of manufacturing OmpT for proteomics.

Abstract: In a method for adjusting brightness of a display of an electronic device, the method sets a plurality of brightness levels of the display screen, and sets a plurality of brightness intervals of brightness values of images captured by a camera device of the electronic device, each brightness interval corresponding to a range of the brightness values. The method further controls the camera device to capture an image of an ambient scene of the electronic device at each predetermined time interval. A brightness value of the captured image is calculated, and a brightness interval of the calculated brightness value is determined. The method adjusts the brightness of the display screen to a brightness level corresponding to the determined brightness interval of the calculated brightness value.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of magnifying a portion of a display of a portable communication device, which is implemented in the portable communication device including a magnification software being executed to perform the steps of taking a selected location of the display of the portable communication device as a magnifying point; selecting the portion of the display based on the magnifying point and the magnifying area; and obtaining a magnified portion by multiplying the selected portion of the display by the magnification. By utilizing the present invention, letters and icon within the magnified portion will be larger than letters and icons in other portions of the display.

Abstract: A new method which employs a mixed-valence cluster of M.sub.y.sup.z+ [Fe(II)(CN).sub.6 ] coated on an electrode surface to determine hydrogen peroxide concentration electrochemically is developed. M of the mixed-valence compound can be Co, Ni, Cr, Sc, V, Cu, Mn, Ag, Eu, Cd, Zn, Ru or Rh; z is the valence state of M; and y=4/z. In addition, this invention also reveals a new approach to determine a concentration of a hydrogen peroxide precursor, wherein a catalyst is immobilized in the matrix or on the surface of the mixed-valence compound on the electrode. In a typical biochemical system, the catalyst can be a glucose oxidase and blood sugar is catalyzed to form hydrogen peroxide.
