Abstract: A method and an apparatus for data exchange. The method identifies a first user located within a predefined boundary of a second user according to the location information of two users, and updates the basic statuses of the two users according to their behavior records. The method then determines whether a delayed type of a data exchange request requesting a data exchange between the users is preferred, according to the basic status of the first user and/or the second user. Upon receiving the data exchange request, the server executes the data exchange after a delay permitted by the data exchange request. The method determines the delayed type to be preferred if the basic status of one of the users is in a busy state.

Abstract: Disclosed is a skin dilator, comprising an expander (11), a pipe network provided on the skin-side surface wall (111) of the expander (11) composed of longitudinal tube (22) and horizontal tube (21) having a reticular structure and communicating with each other, and a guide tube (24) communicating with the pipe network. The skin dilator further comprises several burrs (25) distributed on the skin-side surface wall (111) of the expander (11), and several small apertures (23) communicating the inner cavity of the tube with the outside are provided on both of the longitudinal tube (22) and horizontal tube(21). The tissue expander can be infused biological agents by the filling port to the skin expanding site through the small apertures (23), which may accelerate the expansion growth of skin, prevent skin complications, such as necrosis.

Abstract: Method for judging age brackets of users including acquiring consumption data of users and establishing models based on the consumption data. Establishing the models includes dividing the consumption data into training data and test data, calculating a number of the users of the training data in predetermined age brackets, calculating a number of each tertiary category of the training data in the predetermined age brackets, calculating probabilities that each tuple of the test data belongs to each of the predetermined age brackets based on the number of the users and the number of the tertiary categories, selecting the age bracket with the maximum probability as the age bracket to which the user corresponding to the tuple belongs, comparing errors between the predetermined age brackets and the selected age bracket to obtain a predictive error rate, and outputting models with predictive error rates larger than or equal to a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel non-platinum metal catalyst material for use in low temperature fuel cells and electrolysers and to fuel cells and electrolysers comprising the novel non-platinum metal catalyst material. The present invention also relates to a novel method for synthesizing the novel non-platinum metal catalyst material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system using wireless sensors to validate wired sensors used in applications where the requirements on the reliability of wired sensors are stringent. A computing means periodically collects measurements for each variable from the wired and wireless sensors and compares them against an expected value. The expected value is a weighted average of all the measurements for a variable, in which the weight assigned to the measurement from each sensor is determined according to both its reliability and accuracy. As such, measurements are compared with the corresponding expected value for a particular variable. If the difference between a measurement and its corresponding expected value is found to be unacceptable, the validation computer will generate a corresponding alert. Application examples include 1) validating wired sensors used in safety shutdown systems for industrial facilities and 2) validating wired sensors used to monitor storage tanks.
