Abstract: A portable and rapid screening detection in vitro detection system includes: an in vitro detector, a detection box, a photograph image processor, a transmission interface control processor, a power unit, and an electronic device. The in vitro detector is in a closed environment, and a detection box is disposed in the in vitro detector, and the detection box having a sample insertion opening for inserting in the rapid screening paper after detection. The photograph image processor is disposed on one side of the detection box for capturing the display image of the rapid screening paper after detection. The transmission interface control processor is disposed in the in vitro detector, for transmitting the display image temporarily stored in the camera module. The power unit is disposed in the in vitro detector, for providing the power required by the in vitro detector.

Abstract: Methods and kits for characterizing a subject having a steroid-dependent disease such as prostate cancer are described. A method of treating a steroid-dependent disease in a subject by obtaining a biological sample from the subject, determining if the HSD3B1(1245C) gene or 3?HSD1(367T) protein is expressed in the biological sample, and providing treatment other than or in addition to steroid ablation to the subject if the HSD3B1(1245C) gene or 3?HSD1(367T) protein is expressed is also described.

Abstract: A back EMF measuring method for multi-phase BLDC motor is proposed, which includes a driving process and a measuring process. The driving process energizes a plurality of phase windings of a detected motor by driving signals generated by a computing unit to rotate a rotor of the detected motor to a predetermined speed. The measuring process selects one of the phase windings as a target phase winding, continuously sends the driving signals to the phase windings other than the target phase winding but stops the driving signal sent to the target phase winding by the computing unit, and measures the back EMF of the target phase winding by a signal sensing unit.
