Abstract: Methods for supplementing iron, promoting iron absorption, and/or improving skin condition are provided. The methods include administering to a subject in need thereof a composition that includes a Saskatoon berry extract. The Saskatoon berry extract is obtained by extracting Saskatoon berry (Amelanchier alnifolia) with water. The effect of improving skin condition includes reducing skin spots, reducing skin redness, smoothening skin texture, and improving coarse pores.

Abstract: A diagonal fan is disclosed and includes a frame and an impeller. The frame includes an inlet, an outlet, an accommodation space and a guiding wall. The inlet and the outlet are communicated through the accommodation space. The guiding wall is extended along an axial direction to the accommodation space. The impeller is accommodated within the accommodation space and includes a conical section shell. When the impeller is rotated, an airflow flowing is generated. The outer diameter of the hub of the impeller is expended gradually in a direction from the inlet toward the outlet, so that the flowing direction of the airflow is expended gradually around the peripheral of the impeller. A gap having a spacing distance is substantially maintained to form a backflow channel. A backflow is transported through an intake section, a horizontal section and an exhaust section of the backflow channel, and converged with the airflow.

Abstract: A method for regulating immunity is provided. The method includes administering to a subject in need thereof a composition that includes an effective dose of black hulless barley extract. The black hulless barley extract is obtained by extracting seeds of black hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum Hook. f.) with an amylase aqueous solution.

Abstract: A method for performing real-time magnetic resonance (MR) imaging on a subject is disclosed. A prep pulse sequence is applied to the subject to obtain a high-quality special subspace, and a direct linear mapping from k-space training data to subspace coordinates. A live pulse sequence is then applied to the subject. During the live pulse sequence, real-time images are constructed using a fast matrix multiplication procedure on a single instance of the k-space training readout (e.g., a single k-space line or trajectory), which can be acquired at a high temporal rate.

Abstract: An impeller includes a hub and a plurality of blades. The blades are arranged around the hub, and each blade includes a leading edge, a blade tip, a root portion, a trailing edge, a windward side and a leeward side. The windward side including a first turning point and a second turning point, a first vertical height difference is formed from the blade tip to the first turning point, and a second vertical height difference is formed from the first turning point to the second turning point, and the first vertical height difference is greater than the second vertical height difference. The impeller apparently reduces the noise.

Abstract: A fan includes a frame, an impeller, a driving assembly and a circuit board. The frame includes an inlet, an outlet, a first accommodation space, a base and a second accommodation space, wherein the inlet and the outlet are disposed at opposite sides of the frame, and the first accommodation space is separated from the second accommodation space. The impeller is disposed in the first accommodation space and on the base. The driving assembly is disposed between the base and the impeller. The circuit board is disposed in the second accommodation space. The base includes plural first through holes, and the impeller includes plural second through holes. During the fan is operating, a first airflow is formed to flow from the inlet to the outlet, and a second airflow is formed to flow through the driving assembly via the plural first through holes and the plural second through holes.
