Abstract: Quinoline compounds and salts, hydrates or solvates serving as a selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitor, can be used in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout by promoting uric acid to excrete from the body and reducing serum uric acid. Such compounds have the effect of reducing the uric acid in the animal body and human body.

Abstract: Statistically significant event patterns predict the timing for performing entity maintenance. Event patterns are determined based on a target variable having an undesired value for a given entity when the event pattern occurs. Event patterns are filtered based on distributions of the event patterns across multiple entities and distributions of event patterns during desired operation of the entities and undesired operation of the entities. A predictive maintenance process is established having significant event patterns as the basis for maintenance tasks.

Abstract: A device for biometric recognition, a method for biometric recognition, and a biometric template registration method are disclosed. The device comprises: a sensor for sensing information of a biometric feature; and a security chip for storing a template of the biometric feature, obtaining the information, performing image preprocessing and feature extraction on the obtained information, and comparing features with the stored template to determine a biometric recognition result. Since the whole biometric recognition process is executed in an independent security chip, the security is greatly improved compared with traditional logic isolation solutions.

Abstract: A method for graph-based spatiotemporal video segmentation and automatic target object extraction in high-dimensional feature space includes using a processor to automatically analyze an entire volumetric video sequence; using the processor to construct a high-dimensional feature space that includes color, motion, time, and location information so that pixels in the entire volumetric video sequence are reorganized according to their unique and distinguishable feature vectors; using the processor to create a graph model that fuses the appearance, spatial, and temporal information of all pixels of the video sequence in the high-dimensional feature space; and using the processor to group pixels in the graph model that are inherently similar and assign the same labels to them to form semantic spatiotemporal key segments.

Abstract: A method of tracking a medical instrument comprises receiving a model of an anatomical passageway formation and receiving a set of ordered sensor records for the medical instrument. The set of ordered sensor records provide a path history of the medical instrument. The method further comprises registering the medical instrument with the model of the anatomical passageway formation based on the path history. The method further includes displaying a virtual visualization image in a display system, the virtual visualization image being based on the registering of the medical instrument with the model of the anatomical passageway and depicting a rendered view of the model of the anatomical passageway from a perspective of the medical instrument within the model of the anatomical passageway.

Abstract: A method of route convergence, a routing device, and a main control board in the routing device are provided herein. The method includes receiving route information from multiple neighbor routing devices; selecting a route among the received route information, and applying the selected route to update an FIB of the main control board; and delivering the selected route to an interface board after confirming that the route information from the multiple neighbor routing devices is received and the route selection is completed.

Abstract: A switch and a method of manufacturing the switch are provided. In one embodiment, the switch comprises a switch assembly adapted to receive a first force in a first direction; and a protective member arranged on a substrate and adapted to receive the switch assembly, the protective member comprising a spring portion applying a second force to the switch assembly in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, the switch assembly being adapted to be moved relative to the substrate in response to the first force exceeding a predefined threshold value. The switch is capable of absorbing excessive energy by a force applied on the switch, thus preventing the excessive energy breaking the substrate to which the switch is mounted.
