Abstract: The process for coal separation includes two steps of size grading and oversize raw coal separating. A size range is obtained through size grading, then the obtained raw coal is separated by a sensor system, and coal briquettes with high impurity contents are blown into an impurity chamber through high-speed compressed air, thus improving the separating accuracy and efficiency. The system for coal separation includes a dry screening machine, an oversize raw coal conveying chute, a sensor system, a control system, nozzles and a flow division chamber. The tail end of the dry screening machine is connected with the charge end of the chute; the sensor system and the discharge end of the chute are correspondingly arranged; the flow division chamber is arranged below the chute; and the nozzles operated and controlled by the control system are arranged between the discharge end of the chute and the flow division chamber.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device detects an event corresponding to a change in a graphical user interface displayed by the computing device; the computing device identifies at least one operation based on the detected event; the computing device determines a state of the identified operation; the computing device also defers the identified operation based at least in part on the determined state.

Abstract: This invention relates to compounds useful for treating fungal infections, more specifically topical treatment of onychomycosis and/or cutaneous fungal infections. This invention is directed to compounds that are active against fungi and have properties that allow the compound, when placed in contact with a patient, to reach the particular part of the skin, nail, hair, claw or hoof infected by the fungus. In particular the present compounds have physiochemical properties that facilitate penetration of the nail plate.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure describe a balloon catheter. The balloon catheter may include a catheter shaft including a proximal shaft, a midshaft attached to the proximal shaft, and a distal shaft attached to the midshaft. A balloon may be coupled to the distal shaft. An inflation lumen may be defined in the catheter shaft that extends from the proximal shaft, through the midshaft, and into the distal shaft. The inflation lumen may be in fluid communication with the balloon. A core wire may be extending through a portion of the inflation lumen. A push member may be coupled to the core wire, the push member being configured to engage an inner wall surface of the catheter shaft.

Abstract: A real-time, dispersion-compensated low coherence interferometric system includes a fiber-optic, a bulk-optic, or a combination of bulk and fiber-optic system comprising a reference path and an observation path; a light source optically coupled to the fiber-optic, bulk-optic, or combination of bulk and fiber-optic system to illuminate the reference and observation paths; an optical detection system arranged to receive combined light returned along the reference and observation paths, the optical detection system providing detection signals; and a data processing system arranged to communicate with the optical detection system to receive the detection signals. The data processing system includes a parallel processor configured to process the detection signals to provide real-time dispersion compensation to numerically compensate for dispersion in the reference path relative to the observation path.

Abstract: A motion-compensated confocal microscope includes a laser scanning system, a fiber-optic component having a proximal end and a distal end such that the fiber-optic component is optically coupled to the laser scanning system to receive illumination light at the proximal end and to emit at least a portion of the illumination light at the distal end, and a detection system configured to receive and detect light returned from a specimen being observed and to output an image signal. The light returned from the specimen is received by the distal end of the fiber-optic component and transmitted back and out the proximal end of the fiber-optic component.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for obtaining neural stem cells from a mammalian embryonic or inducible pluripotent stem cell population comprising culturing mammalian embryonic or inducible pluripotent stem cells in a cell culture medium having a leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), an inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3), and an inhibitor of transforming growth factor ? (TGF-?) under suitable conditions and obtaining isolated neural stem cells therefrom.

Abstract: An exemplary heat dissipation fan includes a rotor and a stator. The stator includes a stator core. The rotor is rotatably mounted around the stator. The rotor includes a hub and a magnet ring received in the hub. The hub includes a top wall and a peripheral side wall depending from the top wall. The magnet ring is attached to the side wall and surrounding the stator. The magnet ring has a larger thickness as measured in a radial direction at a first end which is far away from the top wall than a second end which is adjacent to top wall, such that an attracting force formed between the first end of the magnet ring and the stator core is larger than that formed between the second end of the magnet ring and the stator core.
