Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a blocking feature, two operating members and a locking member. The blocking feature is arranged on the first rail. The two operating members and the locking member are movably mounted on the second rail. When the second rail is located at a predetermined position relative to the first rail, the locking member is blocked by the blocking feature to prevent the second rail from being moved away from the predetermined position. When one of the two operating members is operated, the locking member is configured to be driven to move to allow the second rail to be moved away from the predetermined position.

Abstract: A method includes forming a dielectric layer over an epitaxial source/drain region. An opening is formed in the dielectric layer. The opening exposes a portion of the epitaxial source/drain region. A barrier layer is formed on a sidewall and a bottom of the opening. An oxidation process is performing on the sidewall and the bottom of the opening. The oxidation process transforms a portion of the barrier layer into an oxidized barrier layer and transforms a portion of the dielectric layer adjacent to the oxidized barrier layer into a liner layer. The oxidized barrier layer is removed. The opening is filled with a conductive material in a bottom-up manner. The conductive material is in physical contact with the liner layer.

Abstract: A drug carrier with a property of crossing the blood-brain barrier comprises an extracellular vesicle with a human leukocyte antigen-G antibody on its surface. This carrier can serve as a pharmaceutical composition for promoting apoptosis of brain tumor cells, inhibiting growth of brain tumor cells, or reducing expression of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) in brain tumor cells. These effects contribute to the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

Abstract: A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, an auxiliary member, a blocking member and an operating member. The auxiliary member is arranged on the second rail. The blocking member is pivotally connected to the second rail. When the second rail is located at an extended position relative to the first rail, a blocking feature on the first rail blocks the blocking member in a first state for preventing the second rail from displacing away from the extended position along a retracting direction. When the operating member moves from a first operating position to a second operating position to drive the blocking member to move to a second state, the blocking feature does not block the blocking member in the second state, and the operating member engages with a predetermined portion of the auxiliary member to retain the operating member at the second operating position.

Abstract: A method of bandwidth part (BWP) management for a network is provided. Position information of user equipments is received. Whether interference exists between any two of the user equipments is determined based on the position information of the user equipments and the position information of the base stations to obtain an interference status of the user equipments. Interference exists between user equipment(s) of any two base stations in each of the at least one base station combination. Interference exists between a first user equipment and a second user equipment in a first base station combination. BWP resource allocation is performed based on the at least one base station combination and the interference status of the user equipments to obtain a BWP resource allocation result. The first user equipment is assigned with a first BWP frequency band and the second user equipment is assigned with a second BWP frequency band.

Abstract: A method for generating a data-bearing image is implemented by an encoding system including a halftoning module and an encoding module that stores encoding rules associated with respective codes. In the method, the halftoning module converts a grayscale image into a halftone image having a plurality of image cells each consisting of a plurality of dots, at least one of which is a first-tone dot and each of the rest of which is a second-tone dot. Afterward, the encoding module generates a data-bearing halftone image encoded with at least one of the codes by maintaining or changing the number of the first-tone dots in one of the image cells based on one of the encoding rules associated with the at least one of the codes.
