Abstract: An Optimized Personal Computer (OPC) system may be a multi-functional processing unit with ultra-low power consumption and may consist of a single chip having a plurality of processors thereon. Each processor may be specialized for tasks including computing, graphic processing and audio processing. The OPC may be connected to a mother board, a memory unit and an I/O interface. The OPC may be connected to a primary PC (either in an expansion slot or in a drive bay) via a USB connection, for example, and be configured to run continuously and take over certain tasks from the primary PC as needed while the primary PC hibernates. The OPC may also be embedded in a monitor or other peripheral devices.

Abstract: Data characterizing an individual is received. Thereafter, one or more variables are extracted from the data so that, using a predictive model populated with the extracted variables, a likelihood of the individual adhering to a treatment regimen can be determined. The predictive model is trained on historical treatment regimen adherence data empirically derived from a plurality of subjects. Subsequently, data characterizing the determined likelihood of adherence can be promoted. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: An LED lamp assembly includes a lamp supporter and an LED lamp supported by the lamp supporter. The LED lamp includes a lamp cover defining a first opening, a reflector received in the lamp cover and defining a second opening, a heat sink secured to a top of the lamp cover and a plurality of LED modules attached on the heat sink. The heat sink has a plurality of heat-conducting faces formed on a periphery thereof and the LED modules are attached on the heat-conducting faces to generate a wide illumination. The heat sink defines a through hole. Heat generated by the LED modules is absorbed by the heat-conducting faces and directly dissipated to an exterior through the first opening of the lamp cover. The first and second openings and the through hole of the heat sink are communicated with each other.

Abstract: An LED lamp includes a housing, a bracket snugly received in the housing, a connecting member fixed to a top of the bracket, a heat sink standing on a top of the connecting member, a plurality of LEDs attached an outer surface of the heat sink and an envelope which is placed on the top of the connecting member, encloses the heat sink and the LEDs therein and engages with the housing. The bracket has a connecting plate. A plurality of electronic components is mounted on a front side of the connecting plate and a plurality fins extending from a rear side of the connecting plate. A covering panel is used to cover an opening of the bracket in front of the connecting plate.

Abstract: A photomask including a main feature, corresponding to an integrated circuit feature, and a sub-resolution assist feature (SRAF) is provided. A first imaginary line tangential with a first edge of the main feature and a second imaginary line tangential with the second edge of the main feature define an area adjacent the main feature. A center point of the SRAF lies within this area. The SRAF may be a symmetrical feature. In an embodiment, the center point of the SRAF lies on an imaginary line extending at approximately 45-degree angle from a corner of a main feature.

Abstract: A process for recovering Rebaudioside A from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plants is provided and includes the steps of sequentially extracting plant material with a first solvent to obtain a first extract, filtering the first extract and passing the first extract through a polar resin to obtain a filtrate, and purifying the filtrate to obtain a crystalline-containing material. With further purification, a product containing over 99% Rebaudioside A is obtained. The present invention is also directed toward a method of purifying stevia glycosides to obtain purified Rebaudioside A. In one embodiment, the method includes silica gel column chromatography using an solvent comprising ethyl acetate and ethanol.
