Abstract: Methods are provided for the treatment of cancer by administering a mitochondrial uncoupler in a dose effective to increase differentiation of the cancer cells, which may be provided in a combination with a retinoic acid to differentiate the cancer cells. The effect on the targeted cancer cell is enhanced relative to a regimen in which a single agent is used; and the effect may be synergistic relative to a regimen in which a single agent is used. The cancer may be resistant to retinoic acid.

Abstract: A charging pile type recognition method includes: obtaining a charging parameter of an electric vehicle within a preset time period; determining a proportion of a preset power charging capacity of a charging pile within the preset time period according to the charging parameter, wherein the proportion of the preset power charging capacity is equal to a ratio of a first amount of electricity charged into the electric vehicle by the charging pile at a preset power within the preset time period to a total amount of electricity charged into the electric vehicle by the charging pile within the preset time period; and determining a type of the charging pile according to the proportion of the preset power charging capacity.
