Abstract: The present invention provides an itinerary planning system and an itinerary planning, estimating and automatic producing method, wherein the itinerary planning system including an itinerary displaying board for displaying an itinerary, a general information displaying module for displaying a general information and a geographic information displaying module for displaying a geographic information, wherein an interaction existing among them. The itinerary planning system is capable of planning an itinerary, estimating the best sequence of the itinerary, sequencing the itinerary automatically according to the interest of the user, and editing the same itinerary by the multi-people real-timely and synchronously, to make the itinerary planning system of the present invention is more convenience for the user to use the system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a schedule arrangement system and a method for trips matching, integration and output, the schedule arrangement system includes at least one information of an itinerary displaying board displaying an itinerary; a general displaying module displaying the general; a geographic displaying module displaying geographic; and at least an interaction existing thereamong for assisting the users in completing their schedule plans. In one embodiment, the schedule arrangement system further includes a matching system. In another embodiment, the schedule arrangement system further includes an integration system of schedule arrangement and resource reservation. In still another embodiment, the schedule arrangement system further includes a personalized travel information automatic output system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for determining whether a patient is a responder to cardiac resynchronization therapy. The beginning and ending of the intrinsic ventricular depolarization are determined through signals measured from one or more electrodes implanted in the patient's heart. An interval between the beginning and ending of the intrinsic ventricular depolarization is computed and is compared to a threshold. The threshold may be determined empirically. The pacing parameters of a heart stimulation device, such as a pacemaker, may then be configured, for example, by setting the paced atrio-ventricular delay based on whether the patient responds positively to cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for calibrating phase and gain mismatches of an array microphone. The array microphone is installed in a voice interface device and comprises a plurality of microphones. The system comprises a loudspeaker and a computing equipment. The loudspeaker plays a segment of sound to be received by the array microphone. The computing equipment controlls the voice interface device which converts the segment of sound to a plurality of audio signals with the microphones of the array microphone, records the audio signals outputted by the voice interface device at bypass mode without any signal processing, calculates delays between the audio signals, and instructs the voice interface device to adjust phase mismatches between the audio signals according to the delays.
