Abstract: A fluorine-containing triazolopyridine represented by formula (I) and a racemate, R-stereoisomer, S-stereoisomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or mixture thereof are described. The triazolopyridine can be used as a positive allosteric modulator of an mGluR2, and is highly selective in activating the mGluR2, exerting no activation or very limited activation of other homologous metabotropic glutamate receptor. The triazolopyridine can thus be used to prepare a product for treating an mGluR2-related disease, such as a central nervous system disease or neurological disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dewatering a biological solid material employing both microwave irradiation and solvent extraction. The method comprises microwave irradiation pretreatment, solvent extraction dewatering, solid-liquid separation, and solvent recovery. Through microwave irradiation of an aqueous biological solid material, gaps in the solid material are increased, and the biological material is fractured, thus releasing more bound water in the solid material. Subsequently, the microwave-irradiated biological solid material is brought into full contact with an organic solvent, allowing the solvent to absorb and extract moisture from the solid, thus removing moisture from the solid. The aqueous solvent is then subjected to evaporation under reduced pressure or gasification under reduced pressure in a separation apparatus so as to separate the moisture and the solvent. The solvent is then compressed, condensed and recovered for recycling.

Abstract: Techniques relating to communicating system events in universal serial bus (USB) power delivery (PD) devices are described. In an example, a USB PD controller receives a notification of a system event in a first device associated with the USB PD controller, the system event being based on one of a change in machine state of the first device and occurrence of a user interaction event in the first device. A PD protocol based message, indicative of the system event in the first device, is generated. The PD protocol based message provides for activation of a predefined profile setting in a second device, wherein the second device is to interface with the first device through the USB PD controller.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for generating hydroxyl radical and removing organic pollutants in water by utilizing an organic membrane. The inventive method generates hydroxyl radical by adopting a nitrocellulose membrane as a photocatalytic material, placing the nitrocellulose membrane in water, illuminating with the sun or a sunlamp having a wavelength above 280 nm as a light source, and causing the nitrocellulose membrane to undergo a photochemical reaction at the membrane surface, and the generation rate of hydroxyl radical can be achieved by adjusting the surface area of the membrane and a light intensity. The generated hydroxyl radical can remove phenol, bisphenol A, thiamphenicol and other typical organic pollutants in water very well.

Abstract: In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving at a server a request from an advertiser to target an ad to users of a computer-implemented social network, the request comprising data representing characteristics of the users that the advertiser desires to target. The method further includes ranking the users based on how similar the users' characteristics are to the received characteristics and an influence score for each user that indicates how influential the user is within the social network. The method also includes scoring the advertiser's request based on a bid from the advertiser for an opportunity to display the ad to one or more of the users and assigning the opportunity to display the ad to the one or more users based on a correlation between a score of the advertiser's request and one or more rankings of the one or more users.
