Abstract: A multi-core processor system, a dynamic power management method thereof and a control apparatus thereof are provided. In the method, a workload of a multi-core processor during a runtime stage is obtained. Next, a hot-plug operation is respectively performed on a plurality of slave cores according to the workload and a working state of each slave core. Then, a bus master status and the working state of a boot core are monitored to determine whether to power off the boot core, in which the bus master status is generated by combining a plurality of device statuses reflected by a plurality of peripheral devices. Finally, when the bus master status is determined as idle, the boot core is powered off.

Abstract: Processes and materials are provided for the detection, diagnosis, or determination of the severity of a neurological injury or condition, including traumatic brain injury, multiple-organ injury, stroke, Alzeimer's disease, Pakinson disease and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). The processes and materials include biomarkers detected or measured in a biological sample such as whole blood, serum, plasma, or CSF. Such biomarkers include Tau and GFAP proteins, their proteolytic breakdown products, brain specific or enriched micro-RNA, and brain specific or enriched protein directed autoantibodies. The processes and materials are operable to detect the presence of absence of acute, subacute or chronic brain injuries and predict outcome for the brain injury.

Abstract: The present invention identities biomarkers that are diagnostic of nerve cell injury and/or neuronal disorders. Detection of different biomarkers of the invention are also diagnostic of the degree of severity of nerve injury, the cell(s) involved in the injury, and the subcellular localization of the injury.

Abstract: A latch mechanism for fastening a display portion of a notebook computer to a main body thereof is described. A latch member is pivotally connected within the main body of the notebook computer. A magnet member is disposed within the display portion of the notebook computer. When the display portion is laid against the main body, the latch member, which is attracted by the magnet member, swivels out of the main body and engages with a latch hole on the display portion. A first movable bar, a second movable bar and a button are disposed in the display portion. When the button is pressed, the button pushes the first movable bar along a first direction; the first movable bar pushes the second movable bar along a second direction so as to remove the latch member out of the latch hole. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
