Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of active immunotherapy for a cancer patient, comprising administering vaccines against Globo series antigens (i.e., Globo H, SSEA-3 and SSEA-4). Specifically, the method comprises administering Globo H-CRM197 (OBI-833/821) in patients with cancer. The disclosure also provides a method of selecting a cancer patient who is suitable as treatment candidate for immunotherapy. Exemplary immune response can be characterized by reduction of the severity of disease, including but not limited to, prevention of disease, delay in onset of disease, decreased severity of symptoms, decreased morbidity and delayed mortality.

Abstract: Interconnect structure packages (e.g., through silicon vias (TSV) packages, through interlayer via (TIV) packages) may be pre-manufactured as opposed to forming TIVs directly on a carrier substrate during a manufacturing process for a semiconductor die package at backend packaging facility. The interconnect structure packages may be placed onto a carrier substrate during manufacturing of a semiconductor device package, and a semiconductor die package may be placed on the carrier substrate adjacent to the interconnect structure packages. A molding compound layer may be formed around and in between the interconnect structure packages and the semiconductor die package.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a six-axis correction stage, an auto-collimation measurement device, a light splitter, a telecentric image measurement device, and a controller. The six-axis correction stage carries a device under test; the auto-collimation measurement device is arranged above the six-axis correction stage along a measurement optical axis; the light splitter is arranged on the measurement optical axis and is interposed between the six-axis correction stage and the auto-collimation measurement device. A method controls the six-axis correction stage to correct rotation errors in at least two degrees of freedom of the device under test according to a measurement result of the auto-collimation measurement device, and controls the six-axis correction stage to correct translation and yaw errors in at least three degrees of freedom of the device under test according to a measurement result of the telecentric image measurement device by means of the controller.

Abstract: An overlay error measurement method includes disposing a lower-layer pattern over a substrate that includes disposing a first pattern having a first plurality of first sub-patterns extending in a first interval along a first direction and being arranged with a first pitch in a second direction crossing the first direction. The method includes disposing a second pattern having a second plurality of second sub-patterns extending in a second interval along the first direction and being arranged with a second pitch, smaller than the first pitch, in the second direction crossing the first direction. The second sub-patterns are disposed interleaved between the first sub-patterns. The method includes disposing an upper-layer pattern including a third pattern having the first pitch and at least partially overlapping with the lower-layer pattern over the lower-layer pattern and determining an overlay error between the lower-layer pattern and the upper-layer pattern.

Abstract: An electronic system using a USB type-C port and an abnormal elimination method thereof are provided. After sending a hard reset request to a power adapter, a host device determines whether to enter an error recovery state according to whether an initialization signal is at a first preset level for a first preset time, so that the initialization signal is changed to a second preset level, or whether to force the initialization signal to change to the second preset level according to whether the initialization signal is at the first preset level for a second preset time.

Abstract: A joint assembly is connected to a hose assembly. The hose assembly includes a hose in a sleeve. The joint assembly includes an internal joint and an external joint. The internal joint includes an external thread, a shank at an end, and an annular ridge on the shank. The external joint includes an internal thread, a connective portion at an end, a shank at another end, and a conical internal face. The shank of the external joint is inserted in the sleeve. The external joint receives the hose. The shank of the internal joint is inserted in the hose. The external thread of the internal joint is engaged with the internal thread of the external joint to cause the annular ridge of the internal joint to press the hose against the conical internal face of the external joint.

Abstract: A sprinkler water flow switching device is assembled in a movable seat of the water sprinkler with a partition dividing into an impeller chamber and a gear chamber. The partition is provided with a first water channel and a second water channel for directing water from the gear chamber to the impeller chamber, so as to control the direction of rotation of the impeller in the impeller chamber. The water flow switching device includes a projection member, a seesaw plate and a driving lever in the gear chamber; the driving lever can oscillate and actuate the seesaw plate to move on the projection member, then the seesaw plate can move as a seesaw to selectively close the water inlet of the first water channel or the second water channel, thereby changing the rotation direction of the impeller and the water spray direction.

Abstract: A sprinkler includes a nozzle-swinging apparatus including a movable base and a current-switching unit. The movable base includes a partition between two chambers that contain a leafed wheel and a gear train. The partition includes two channels between the chambers. The current-switching unit includes two tabs, two connectors, a valve and a switch. The tabs extend toward the connectors in one of the chambers. The valve includes two pivots each of which extends in a gap between one of the tabs and one of the connectors. The switch includes a valve-moving element for grabbing the valve and a lever including a first section extending out of the movable base and a second section extending in the movable base. The first section of the lever is operable to pivot the second section of the lever so that the valve-moving element causes the valve to close one of the channels.

Abstract: A faucet is provided with a diverter. The diverter includes a body, an inlet module, two outlet modules and a control module. The inlet module is connected to the body. The outlet module is connected to the body. The control module is connected to the body. The control module is operable to switch between directions and modes for supply water. Each of the modules includes a small number of components. The diverter can be taken apart for repair because the modules are not interconnected by ultrasonic welding.
