Abstract: A method for correcting a determination threshold of a floor medium and a method of detecting thereof are provided. The method is used for controlling a mobile robot equipped with a sound emitter and a sound receiver to detect and recognize the floor medium during a movement just started. A first detection result of a current floor medium is obtained by actively transmitting and receiving a sound signal, then, a to-be-adjusted detection result of the current floor medium is obtained only by passively receiving the sound signal through the sound receiver, and according to the similarity/difference of the two detection results, the determination threshold is corrected in the case of passively receiving the sound signal, so that the to-be-adjusted detection result is determined to be consistent with the first detection result.

Abstract: A critical data display process includes a computer directing a medical testing result for a patient to appear on a health care practitioner critical data display of a health care practitioner display monitor of a single health care practitioner. The process also includes the computer prompting the single health care practitioner through the health care practitioner critical data display to review the medical testing result for the patient on the health care practitioner critical data display, to designate or accept a previous designation of the medical testing result as either critical or noncritical, and to enter or authorize patient instructions. The process further includes the computer directing a patient critical data display to appear on a patient display monitor of a patient representative of the patient.

Abstract: A process for producing a water-absorbent high-porosity fibrous matrix from lignocellulosic raw materials, comprising wet mechanical processing of the raw material, drying, and then dry mechanical processing the fibers to provide a fibrous matrix is provided. The high-porosity fibrous matrix and absorbent articles prepared therefrom are also provided.

Abstract: Computer-enabled systems and methods aggregate data related to a particular subject or field and present the data in a simplified display. The data is divided into predetermined categories, which are graphically displayed in a predetermined arrangement. Systems and methods differentiate and visually display critical data abnormalities separately from non-critical data. The systems and methods enable an observer to identify the critical deviations or anomalies of data with respect to a predetermined base line by an intuitive visual display of all of the data from any sized data universe on a single screen. The data is indexed at multiple display levels such as a stack of one patient's data, a stack of all patient data for the universe of patients of a single practitioner, or a group of practitioners of any size. A portion of the display preferably may be selected and expanded to show only that portion in greater detail.

Abstract: The present invention identifies the PPP2R1B gene, as a human tumor suppressor gene. Sequencing of the PPP2R1B revealed that the gene is located on human chromosome 11q22-24 and that gene were mutated in tumors and tumor cell lines, leading to the classification of this gene as a tumor suppressor. Further analyses have demonstrated the presence of a number of mutations in the gene in lung, colon, breast and cervical cancer cells. Methods for diagnosing and treating cancers related to this tumor suppressor also are disclosed.
