Abstract: A flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board is connected to an LCD module, comprising a first conductive portion, a second conductive portion, a third conductive portion, a conductive trace and a slot. The second conductive portion is disposed at the border of flexible circuit board and comprises a first contact pad. The third conductive portion is located between the first and second conductive portions. The conductive trace comprises a first trace segment a second trace segment. The first conductive segment connects the first conductive portion with the first contact pad, and the second trace segment connects the second conductive portion with the third conductive portion, wherein the slot is formed between the first and second trace segments.

Abstract: A cyclone is used to collect nanoparticles and is formed of a chamber, and a guide wing located in the chamber such that the guide wing and the chamber form a passage. A flow entraining the nanoparticles is moved through the passage in such a way that the flow is caused to spin rapidly, and that the nanoparticles, acted on by a centrifugal force, are thereby resulting in collision with the chamber wall. The cyclone has a nanoparticle cut-off aerodynamic diameter, which is reduced by virtue of the phenomena that the particle inertia increases in a low pressure environment, and that the particle slipping correction factor increases under low pressure, and that the rebound of the particle in the cyclone chamber tends to alleviate under low pressure. The cyclone is used to remove nanoparticles from industrial exhaust fumes.

Abstract: A programmable Gamma circuit and display apparatus therewith are provided, wherein the programmable Gamma circuit includes a controller and a plurality of gamma units. The controller receives a control signal externally, and outputs a plurality of Gamma setup signals. Each of the gamma setup signals is comprised of a plurality of bit signals in digital form. The control signal can be transmitted via I2C or 3-wire interface bus according to one preferred embodiment in this present invention, so as to reduce number of pins to the driving circuit (IC). Each Gamma unit receives a gamma setup signal, and outputs a corresponding Gamma voltage signal accordingly.

Abstract: Methods for determining the presence and level of active drugs in fluid samples are provided. Advantageously, entire families or classes of drugs can be tested for in one test by identifying the enzyme or receptor upon which members of that drug family act and measuring enzyme activity levels or binding activity levels of receptors. Methods for establishing standard activity levels of these drugs based upon results from samples having known quantities of drug therein are also provided.

Abstract: A method for customizing computer booting procedure is devised to read a specific multimedia file in a memory unit by a BIOS program after power on. The multimedia file is viewed or played by a built-in program or an external program. The memory unit is one of a memory block in video ROM, a special hard disk area formed in a partition procedure, a thumb drive and an optical disk drive. The method further comprises an editing step to store the multimedia file with a specific file name and a searching step to find the multimedia file with the specific file name for replay it.

Abstract: A system and a method for document processing management are provided for use in a network environment, for managing part/material documents associated with production fabrication and monitoring approval and verification of the part/material documents to accordingly establish electronic forms of data records. A process flow control module selects predetermined approval and verification procedures used to process the part/material documents and updates a status of document approval and verification. A mail receiving/sending module periodically informs responsible signing departments to perform document approval and verification, and sends mails to other signing departments when document approval and verification is completed. An identity-identifying module identifies and provides a user with appropriate access rights for approval and verification.

Abstract: A method and a system for applying a part number are provided, for allowing a user to apply a part number through a network terminal device via a network communication system, with data relevant to part number application being stored in a database. First, a form search module searches a part-number application form from the database according to operation conditions input by the user for allowing the user to input data for applying a part number. A data comparison module determines if this part number already exists or is currently being applied by another user; if yes, the data comparison module provides relevant data to this part number as a reference for the user who intends to apply the part number; otherwise, a data verification module transmits the part-number application form to examination units for verification. Finally, a data storage module stores the examined part-number application form in the database.

Abstract: An assembly for carrying cargo which comprises a cylindrical tank rotatable about a horizontal axis and having a torque partition member dividing it into an upper and a lower compartment, rotating rails provided around the periphery of the tank, support rails for guiding and supporting the rotating rails, and means for locking the tank against movement. The compartments of the tank are connected to cargo pipes and gas pipes through a connecting means associated with each tank. A liquid cargo can be loaded in the upper compartment simultaneously with the unloading of the liquid cargo from the lower compartment and the loaded upper compartment can be placed in a lower level position by the rotation of the tank caused by a torque produced by the partition member during loading and unloading.
