Abstract: A bilaterally positionable and rotatable bicycle rack includes a fixing member, a hanging frame, and a rotating shaft. A gap is provided between the hanging frame and the fixing member in the vertical direction to make the hanging frame movable at least in the vertical direction. An elastic member is provided in the gap, and located at a lower end of the rotating shaft, to make the hanging frame abut against an uppermost position and elastically movable downwards. A no-load limit assembly and a load limit assembly are provided on an outer side of the rotating shaft, which are configured to operate in a no-load state and a load state, respectively. In the load state, since a gravity of the bicycle is greater than an elasticity force of the elastic member, the load limit assembly is locked.

Abstract: A folding bicycle rack with automatic wheel fixing, including a wall-mounting structure, a bottom frame, and an adjustable positioning assembly including a positioning member and a tilted structure. The wall-mounting structure is vertically fixed on a wall. An end of the bottom frame is in an angularly-restricted rotational connection with a lower end of the wall-mounting structure. The bottom frame is provided with a wheel-receiving groove at least partially running through the bottom frame. The positioning member is arranged at a side of the wheel-receiving groove near the wall, and is fixed in use. The tilted structure is arranged at a side of the wheel-receiving groove away from the wall, and is in an angularly-restricted rotational connection with an end of the bottom frame away from the wall. The positioning member and the tilted structure abut against the tire from opposite sides, respectively to support and limit the tire.

Abstract: A hook includes a hook seat, a rivet, and a fixing bolt. A rivet cap and a rivet post are provided on the rivet. The rivet post includes a rivet rod and a rivet seat. A diameter of the rivet seat is greater than a diameter of the rivet rod. A first step is formed between the rivet rod and the rivet seat. A first cut surface and a second cut surface are provided on both sides of the rivet rod, respectively. The rivet and fixing bolt are matched with each other and fixed to the hook seat. The first step abuts against one side of the hook seat. An end face of the fixing bolt abuts against the other side of the hook seat to lock the hook seat between the fixing bolt and the first step.

Abstract: A lifting device includes a drive, a speed change gear device arranged above the drive and configured to be rotatable by means of the drive, a transmission device connected to the speed change gear device and a lifting mechanism fixed in the transmission device, and the speed change gear device is fixed to a side wall of the transmission device. Under an action of the drive and a speed change of speed change gear device, a gravity of a weight suspended on the lifting device is converted, so that the weight is lifted under a small force. The lifting device can also be driven via an electric hand tool. In addition, a first transmission device and a second transmission device are provided with a safety device to lock the lifting device when reaching a top, so as to prevent the lifting device from slipping to cause injuries.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to computationally efficient processing of sequencing data relating to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A processor receives unaligned training reads and determines training sub-sequences from them. The processor then counts the training sub-sequences in a control group and in a group diagnosed with ALS and determines a measure of change, for each of the training sub-sequences, in the counting between the control group and the group with ALS. The processor further selects a subset of training sub-sequences that are distal from a mean value of the measure of change and then receives testing sequencing data comprising multiple unaligned testing reads. The processor determines sub-sequences from the testing reads, counts the sub-sequences that are in the subset, and determines a diagnostic output value related to ALS for the sample based on the counting of the testing sub-sequences that are in the subset.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for coding and delivering multi-view video in which the video is represented as a manifest file identifying a plurality of segments of the video available for download. The multi-view video may be partitioned spatially into a plurality of tiles that, in aggregate, encompass the entire spatial area of the video. The tiles are coded as segments contains coded video representing content contained within its respective tile. Tiles may be given different sizes based on saliency of the content within their respective regions. In this manner, tiles with high levels of interest may have relatively large spatial areas, which can lead to efficient coding in the presence of content motion.

Abstract: System and methods for improved playback of a video stream are presented. Video snippets are identified that include a number of consecutive frames for playback. Snippets may be evenly temporally spaced in the video stream or may be content adaptive. Then the first frame of a snippet may be selected as the first frame of a scene or other appropriate stopping point. Scene detection, object detection, motion detection, video metadata, or other information generated during encoding or decoding of the video stream may aid in appropriate snippet selection.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a printed circuit board and a manufacturing method thereof. In the manufacturing method of the printed circuit board according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, primary copper plating layers are first formed on each of upper and lower surface portions of a core layer in a symmetrical structure, an insulating layer is formed on the primary copper plating layer of the upper surface side, and a secondary copper plating layer is continuously formed on the primary copper plating layer of only the lower surface side. Therefore plating thicknesses required for the front side and the rear side in an asymmetric structure may be uniform to have no plating deviation and non-peeling of an insulating layer (a dry film) for a circuit protection is prevented to have no short defect, thereby making it possible to form a fine circuit pattern.
