Abstract: A calibration method and a calibration apparatus for a knob applicable to a touch panel are provided. The knob includes at least one sensing pad. The calibration method includes: obtaining sensed position(s) of each sensing pad by sensing a position of the sensing pad through the touch panel; and calculating a position of a center of the knob by using a formula of a radius of a circumscribed circle according the sensed position(s) of each sensing pad.

Abstract: A computing device captures a live video of a user. For a first frame of the live video, the computing device obtains first target positional coordinates of a first target point located a first predetermined distance from the computing device and obtains first background data. For a second frame, the computing device obtains second target positional coordinates of a second target point located a second predetermined distance from the computing device and obtains second background data. The computing device calculates a target motion vector based on the first target point and the second target point and calculates a background motion vector based on feature points in the first background data and the second background data. The computing device determines a difference value between the target motion vector and the background motion vector and determines whether the user is spoofing the computing device based on the difference value.

Abstract: A composition for inhibiting skin cell proliferation and/or anti-inflammation is provided. The composition for inhibiting skin cell proliferation and/or anti-inflammation includes: apigenin and luteolin, wherein a weight ratio of the apigenin to the luteolin is about 1.5-25:1, or a mole ratio of the apigenin to the luteolin is about 1.5-25:1. Moreover, the apigenin and the luteolin have a synergistic effect on inhibiting skin cell proliferation and/or anti-inflammation.
