Abstract: A tracking system and a device integrating an existing positional tracking system and a docking mechanism include a tracking system hardware module, a docking mechanism, and a positional tracking software module and are adapted to capture a user's finger movement and send in real time and synchronously the user's finger movement to a computer. The docking mechanism is compatible with an existing third-party positional tracking system such that the device can operate in conjunction with existing, commercially-available positional tracking systems, for example, HTC VIVE Tracker, and Oculus Quest, and thus is applicable to an existing game engine.

Abstract: An imprinting apparatus includes an imprinting platform, an imprinting roller, a transfer module and a lifting and pressing mechanism. The imprinting roller is disposed above the imprinting platform. The transfer module includes a transfer film, wherein the transfer film is located between the imprinting roller and the imprinting platform. The lifting and pressing mechanism is linked with the imprinting roller, wherein the lifting and pressing mechanism drives the imprinting roller to move along a normal direction of the imprinting platform and selectively pressurizes the imprinting roller.

Abstract: An imprinting apparatus includes an imprinting platform having a first side and a second side opposite to each other, an imprinting roller disposed above the imprinting platform, a transfer module, and a film separation module. The transfer module includes a transfer film located between the imprinting roller and the imprinting platform and a fixed frame fixed beside the first side of the imprinting platform and a movable frame disposed on the second side of the imprinting platform that clamp opposite sides of the transfer film. The movable frame is adapted to move horizontally relative to the fixed frame to change a flatness of the transfer film. The film separation module is connected to the movable frame, and is adapted to drive the movable frame to be turned from a first position to a second position, such that a rounded corner is formed between the transfer film and the imprinting roller.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel photocontrollable probes and methods for detecting aggregated forms of amyloidogenic proteins in cells, tissues, or organs of a live subject. Results of such detection may be useful for making prognosis on the subject whether he/she suffers from a neurodegenerative disease and/or diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: A kind of health supplement for lowering plasma glucose and plasma triglyceride is prepared from a mixture of dried grape skins with the flesh removed, dried grape seeds and dried grape stems, and the mixture is ground into fine powder (termed 3SG powder) according to a ratio of volume between the grape skins, the grape seeds and the grape stems found in naturally available grapes; upon treatment of the 3SG powder with ethanol, the intracellular lipid-soluble flavonoids of the 3SG powder are released to give rise to the health supplement which functions include to lower plasma glucose and plasma triglyceride, as well as to attenuate anomalous energy metabolism in diabetic, hyperglycemic, and hyperlipidemic people.
