Abstract: A fastening device includes a head and a shank. The shank has opposite ends, one end of the shank is connected to the head, and the other end of the shank defines an operating part. The operating part is capable of cooperating with a disassembling tool to enable the fastening device to rotate with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shank.

Abstract: Multipath load-balancing algorithms, which can be used for data center networks (DCNs), are provided. A multipath load-balancing algorithm can be, for example, a distributed multipath load-balancing algorithm or a centralized multipath load-balancing algorithm. Algorithms of the subject invention can be used for, e.g., hierarchical DCNs and/or fat-tree DCNs. Algorithms of the subject invention are effective and scalable and significantly outperform existing solutions.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods of determining the prognosis of a breast cancer patient by evaluating the activity of the glucocorticoid receptor in tumor cells. Other embodiment include methods of treating breast cancer cells, particularly, chemo-resistant cells, with a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist and an anticancer agent or compound.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a printed circuit board (PCB), at least one socket mounted to the PCB, at least one connector inserted into the at least one socket, a first member mounted to the PCB, a second member mounted to the PCB, and a first cover. The first cover covers and presses against the at least one connector, the first cover includes a first end for being fixed to the first member and a second end opposite to the first end for being fixed to the second member. At least one of the first member and the second member is soldered to the PCB, and a soldered area of the at least one of the first member and the second member is larger than a predetermined value.

Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a first locking member positioned on the first object and a second locking member positioned on the second object. The second locking member can be moved to engage with or disengage from the first locking member. The second object defines at least one through hole for allowing insertion of the disassembly tool to push the second locking member, which disengages the second locking member from the first locking member.

Abstract: A fastening mechanism for fastening a first object to a second object, the fastening mechanism includes a first fastening member, a driven member, a linkage member, and a first supporting member. The first fastening member is rotatably secured to the second object. The driven member is rotatably secured to the second object. The linkage member is connected between the fastening member and the driven member. The first supporting member protrudes from the second object to support the first object. When an external force is exerted on the driven member, the driven member is capable of rotating to pull the linkage member, thus the linkage member pulls the first fastening member to rotate toward the first supporting member and sandwiches the first object between the first fastening member and the first supporting member so that the first object is fastened to the second object.
