Abstract: A method for measuring humidity at long range using simplified equipment includes creating a formula according to a relationship between multiple sets of known optical flow feature vectors and a known humidity. First and second images are obtained, wherein the first image and the second image are captured as being in the same range of capture. A plurality of feature points in the first image is obtained and an optical flow feature vector for each of the feature points according to apparent changes in position of each feature point according to the second image are calculated. The degree of current humidity according to the optical flow feature vectors and the formula is thus obtained.

A negative photoresist formulation includes 40-65 wt % of modified epoxy acrylate, 3-6 wt % of photosensitizer, 100-1000 ppm of leveling agent, and the remainder of solvent; the leveling agent is a solution of a 7:3 mass ratio of polydimethylsiloxane copolymer having a molecular weight of 3000-6000 and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate. If the negative photoresist is coated at a thickness of about 50 um, the coating uniformity can be controlled to below 5%, ensuring the quality of exposure such that the thickness of electroplated copper meets requirements.

Abstract: Improved virtualized application performance is provided through disabling of unnecessary functions, such as unnecessary encryption and decryption operations. An example method performed by a hypervisor includes the steps of obtaining a request from a first virtual machine to perform one or more of encrypting and decrypting of a communication between the first virtual machine and a second virtual machine; determining when the first and second virtual machines execute on a same host as the hypervisor; and in response to the first and second virtual machines executing on the same host: processing the communication without performing the one or more of encrypting and decrypting of the communication, wherein the hypervisor initiates an encryption of further communications between the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine in response to at least one of the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine being moved from the same host.

An example method performed by a hypervisor includes the steps of obtaining a request to one or more of encrypt and decrypt a communication between a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine; determining if the first and second virtual machines execute on a same host as the hypervisor (e.g., by evaluating a context of the communication); and processing the communication without encrypting or decrypting the communication if the first and second virtual machines execute on the same host. Lawful Interception is performed by forwarding an unencrypted version of the communication to an authorized agency.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for operating a high-field magnetic resonance (MR) system includes performing a series of data acquisition modules without respiratory gating. Each data acquisition module is formed of a steady-state free precession pulse sequence. Performing the series of data acquisition modules includes varying at least one of an amplitude of an excitation pulse or a repetition time of the steady-state free precession pulse sequence between adjacent data acquisition modules in the series of data acquisition modules to acquire a series of MR data with random or pseudo-random imaging acquisition parameters. The series of MR data is compared to a dictionary of signal evolution profiles to determine a match between the series of MR data with at least one signal evolution profile in the dictionary indicating at least one quantitative parameter in the subject.

Abstract: A rotary tea maker includes a tea cup and a tea infuser. After the tea is brewed in a tea brewing room of the tea infuser, through rotation of the tea infuser, the tea is discharged from the tea brewing room to be stored in a tea room of the tea cup for use. The tea in the tea brewing room flows to a passage from a water outlet of the tea infuser and then enters the tea room from a through hole of the tea cup. During the process, the air in the tea room is expelled to the passage from the through hole when the tea is poured and then flows to the tea brewing room through an air hole of an air pipe of the tea infuser, so that the tea in the tea brewing room can be discharged to the tea room smoothly.
