  • Publication number: 20170250830
    Abstract: A method of establishing a paid connection using a screen mirroring application between multi-platforms, where a transmitting end application is installed in a transmitting end apparatus of a sharing source and a receiving end application is installed in a receiving end apparatus of a sharing target. When establishing a connection, the transmitting end application confirms if an unique ID of the receiving end apparatus exists in an exception list, and if the receiving end application makes payment based on an operating system used by the transmitting end apparatus in order to determine establishing a limited or an unlimited connection between the transmitting end apparatus and the receiving end apparatus. Thus, the method assures that either the transmitting end application or the receiving end application is a paid version, a user complies with an application license agreement by using the exception list and the right of application developers is protected.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system, device, and method for the high throughput multiplexed detection of a wide number of compounds. The invention comprises of a microwell array coupled to a capture agent array to form a plurality of interfaces between a microwell and a set of immobilized capture agents. The set of capture agents comprises a plurality of distinguishable features, with each feature corresponding to the detection of a particular compound of interest. In certain embodiments, each microwell is configured to contain a single cell. The invention is therefore capable of performing a high throughput analysis of single cell profiles, including profiles of secreted compounds.

  • Publication number: 20160121093
    Abstract: A wireless tattooing apparatus to be wirelessly controlled by a wireless remote-control device is disclosed. The wireless tattooing apparatus may include a main body having a wireless control module, a driving mechanism, with the driving mechanism axially connected with a needle extending outside of the main body, and a motor coupled to the driving mechanism. The motor is controlled and driven by the wireless control module to actuate the driving mechanism, which in turn drives the needle to displace back and forth with respect to the main body. Operations of the wireless tattooing apparatus may be controlled and configured by the wireless remote-control device.

  • Patent number: 9200238
    Abstract: A method of ice-crystal wall-breaking extraction of the pomelo peel essencial oil, including: first selecting a fresh pomelo, peeling off the outmost oil cell layer with a peeler, and collecting the cortex that is 1.5-2.5 mm thick; slowly freezing the pomelo peel oil cell layer at ?15° C. to ?30° C. to form ice crystal; breaking the pomelo peel ice crystal with a breaker; thawing the broken ice crystal, and then squeezing with a screw squeezer to obtain a squeezed mixed liquid; adding 3-4% by mass of the table salt to the squeezed mixed liquid, and standing to stratify at reduced pressure, thereby obtaining an oil-water mixture; distilling the mixed liquid at reduced pressure, and collecting the distillate to obtain an oil-water mixture that undergoes natural stratification; discarding the water layer, thereby obtaining the pomelo peel essential oil.

  • Patent number: 9165606
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing with a carrier therein. The carrier includes a recess with a restricting portion therein. An access unit is disposed in the recess. An elastic member is connected to the access unit and engaged with the restricting portion to restrict the access unit in the recess. A fixed member is connected to the access unit. A movable member is movably disposed on the carrier, including a first contact portion and a second contact portion. When an external force is exerted on the movable member along a first direction, the first contact portion pushes the elastic member along the first direction to deform and separate from the restricting portion, and the second contact portion pushes the fixed member to move along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, such that the access unit can be removed from the housing.
