Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with touch sensors. One or more shielding layers may be interposed between the display and the touch sensors. The shielding layers may include shielding structures such as a conductive mesh structure and/or a transparent conductive film. The shielding structures may be actively driven or passively biased. In the active driving scheme, one or more inverting circuits may receive a noise signal from a cathode layer in the display and/or from the shielding structures, invert the received noise signal, and drive the inverted noise signal back onto the shielding structures to prevent any noise from the display from negatively impacting the performance of the touch sensors. In the passive biasing scheme, the shielding structures may be biased to a power supply voltage.

Abstract: Provided is a microneedle patch comprising a substrate part and multiple needle parts protruding from the substrate part. The substrate part consists of a diffusion-proof layer and a base, and each needle part consists of a needle tip, a diffusion-proof layer and a base. The diffusion-proof layer of each needle part is formed between the needle tip and the base of the corresponding needle part. The diffusion-proof layer of the substrate part and the diffusion-proof layer of needle part are one-piece structures, and so are the base of the substrate part and the base of the needle part. The diffusion-proof layer of the microneedle patch can prevent the active ingredients from diffusing to the base, limit the active ingredients to the needle tip and control the carrying quantity thereof.

Abstract: Embodiments disclose a privacy data reporting method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The method includes: A terminal device obtains to-be-reported data, divides the to-be-reported data into front string data and rear string data based on a preset step, separately scrambles the front string data and the rear string data, and sends the generated privacy data to a server. The server receives privacy data sent by a plurality of terminal devices, determines N pieces of first front string data, then obtains M pieces of to-be-reported data based on a plurality of pieces of privacy data, and finally determines to-be-reported data whose reporting rate is greater than a first preset value as target to-be-reported data. In an exemplary embodiment, the terminal device divides the to-be-reported data into two parts, and separately scrambles the two parts to generate the privacy data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition including Lactobacillus plantarum TWK10 deposited at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) under accession number CGMCC 13008 for use in treating sarcopenia and for use in maintaining and/or increasing muscle mass and/or strength in an elderly subject.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for an extended inter-kernel communication protocol for discovery of accelerator pools configured in a non-star mode. Under a discovery algorithm, discovery requests are sent from a root node to non-root nodes in the accelerator pool using an inter-kernel communication protocol comprising a data transmission protocol built over a Media Access Control (MAC) layer and transported over links coupled between IO ports on accelerators. The discovery requests are used to discover each of the nodes in the accelerator pool and determine the topology of the nodes. During this process, MAC address table entries are generated at the various nodes comprising (key, value) pairs of MAC IO port addresses identifying destination nodes and that may be reached by each node and the shortest path to reach such destination nodes. The discovery algorithm may also be used to discover storage related information for the accelerators.
