Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system for distributing information in a graphic code. The method includes acquiring an identification code in a selected graphic code; sending to a server a first update request including the identification code when the identification code does not exist; receiving first response information fed back by the server; starting, according to the application program identifier in the first response information, an application program corresponding to the application program identifier. When an identification code of a graphic code does not exist in an electronic device, an application program identifier corresponding to the identification code is requested from a server, and an application program corresponding to the application program identifier is started. Thus, a probability that information in a graphic code can be successfully processed is relatively high, and a success rate of identifying a graphic code is improved.

Abstract: A near-field-communication (NFC) system includes an NFC-enabled indicia reader and a second NFC-enabled device. The NFC-enabled indicia reader is configured to receive software-configuration data from another NFC-enabled device. The NFC system is configured to update the NFC-enabled indicia reader with the software-configuration data of the second-NFC enabled device when the indicia reader is positioned in proximity to the second NFC-enabled device.

Abstract: A rotor blade assembly for a wind turbine has a rotor blade. A strip-member blade accessory is mounted to one of the rotor blade surfaces that stretches under normal operating conditions of the wind turbine. The blade accessory has a base portion. An attachment layer connects the base portion to the rotor blade surface and has a lower shear modulus than the base portion to allow for shear slippage between the base portion and the underlying rotor blade surface.

Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry implements registration on a medical image and each of a plurality of reference images. The processing circuitry performs deformation on the medical image based on a result of the registration. The processing circuitry sets a first region of interest on the deformed medical image. The processing circuitry sets on at least two of the plurality of reference images, a second region of interest corresponding to the first region of interest. The processing circuitry retrieves from the reference images on which the second region of interest is set, a reference image similar to an image in the first region of interest.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of nucleic acid sequence replication including PCR.

In particular, the present invention provides novel primer designs to enhance specificity of PCR reactions. The present invention also provides methods and compositions to perform the selection of specific sequence sections using specific primers and the amplification of all selected sequence sections using a pair of common primers in a single reaction tube.

Abstract: The application provides methods of prognosing and classifying lung cancer patients into poor survival groups or good survival groups and for determining the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy by way of a multigene signature. The application also includes kits and computer products for use in the methods of the application.

Abstract: A containment case comprises a composite core, with an inner and outer surface, at least one puncture resistant layer bonded to the inner surface of the composite core and at least one energy capture layer bonded to the outer surface of the composite core. The puncture resistant layer having a high through-thickness shear strength and high interlaminar toughness at impact. The energy capture layer having a high in-plane tensile strength and low resistance to delamination and fiber-matrix debonding at impact. A method of fabricating a containment case includes the steps of disposing one or more layers of a puncture resistant material on a layup mandrel, disposing one more layers of a structural composite material on an exterior surface of the puncture resistant material, disposing one or more layers of an energy capture material on an exterior surface of the structural material and curing a resin in the plurality of layers.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing related links are disclosed. In one aspect, a method comprises: retrieving textual information associated with a web page upon loading of the web page at a client; extracting a set of keywords from the received textual information; determining one or more keywords of the set of keywords using a keyword repository that maintains a list of keywords and their respective rankings; sending the one or more keywords as a search query to a search engine to obtain a list of search results ordered by their respective rankings; returning a number of search results with the highest rankings to the client for display on the web page.

Abstract: A pop-up rotatable tray assembly is disclosed herein. The pop-up rotatable tray assembly includes a base portion, a tray support structure rotatably coupled to the base portion, and a tray top member having a top surface. The tray top member is supported by the tray support structure, and the tray top member is configured to be adjustable between an elevated position and a retracted position. A tabletop assembly, which includes the pop-up rotatable tray assembly, is also disclosed herein. When the tray top member is disposed in the elevated position, the top surface of the tray top member is spaced apart from a top surface of a tabletop peripheral portion by a vertical distance. When the tray top member is disposed in the retracted position, the tray top member is substantially aligned with the top surface of the tabletop peripheral portion.
