Abstract: A microelectromechanical system switch includes a signal input line, a signal output line, a deformable conducting membrane electrically connected to the signal output line and including a contact dimple facing the signal input line, and an actuation electrode. The membrane has a planar round shape, with a radial opening in the direction of the signal input line, narrowing from the periphery towards the center of the membrane, the contact dimple being formed in the central region of the membrane, the actuation electrode has the same shape as the membrane, and the gap between the membrane, facing the actuation electrode, and the actuation electrode is an airgap only.

Abstract: The invention is a method of applying a joint inducing protein preferably BMP-9 or BMP-3 to an ossification center in order to create a joint, articular cartilage, or an endochondral cap. The ossification center may be one that occurs naturally such as in the case of amputation, wound healing or fracture, or, it may be artificially induced by the application of an ossification center inducing protein, which may include other BMP family proteins such as BMP-2, BMP-4 or BMP-7. Further, this invention is a method of producing joints, or joint-like structures in vitro by application of BMP-9 to cells derived from tissue regions capable of producing ossification centers, such as digit-derived fibroblasts.

Abstract: A method for selecting a product to display on a webpage of an e-commerce website. Online user behavior data associated with a plurality of merchants selling products on the webpage is obtained. The behavior data is user actions performed online with respect to merchants. The behavior data is analyzed to determine a most relevant group of the users for each merchant. The most relevant group is compared to a targeted group of the webpage to determine a rate of overlap for each merchant. The rate of overlap represents a percentage of the most relevant group that matches the targeted group. A top merchant is selected based on the highest rate of overlap. A top product being sold by the top merchant is selected to display on the webpage. The top product is displayed on the webpage of the e-commerce web site to an end user.

Abstract: Data storage system and management method thereof are provided. The method, adopted by a data storage device coupled to a host device via a bus, includes: determining the data storage device requires to use a first temporary memory of the host device to access data in a second temporary memory of the data storage device; based on the determination, issuing a Device Bus Master (DBM) request message via the bus to the host to request for a right to control data transfer on the bus; in response to the DBM request message, detecting the bus to determine whether to receive a first DBM acknowledgement message from the host device; and if the first DBM acknowledgement message is received, then accessing the first temporary memory of the host device.

Abstract: This document publishes a method and an apparatus of recommending popular accounts in a social network service (SNS) system. In one embodiment, the method includes the following steps: analyzing relating information of a specified user stored in a network system to get preference information of the specified user; querying popular accounts matched to the preference information from popular accounts stored in the SNS system; and outputting the popular accounts matched to the preference information as recommended popular accounts for the specified user. According to the method and apparatus, t is possible to recommend popular accounts for each registered user in the SNS system with a personalized manner, and the recommended popular accounts can be pushed to the user after the user logins the SNS system. As the recommended popular accounts are very close to the preference of the user, the activity of the SNS system is significantly improved.

Abstract: A Global Positioning System (GPS) updates an internal map database in real-time. The system has a module for collecting environmental data, a module for processing environmental data, and a module for conducting environmental data. The collecting module receives position data real-time and judges its usability. The processing module can transform the received data's format, so that the data format will be compatible with the system format. The module for conducting environmental data can insert received data and compare data to be inserted with existing system data to judge whether the GPS data should be updated. The goal of updating the system map database on the GPS in real-time is thus accomplished by the three modules.
