Abstract: An image sensor comprises a plurality of pixels. Pixels are capable of detecting a change in an amount of light intensity and pixels are capable of detecting an amount of light intensity. In a first mode the sensor outputs data from the first one or more of the pixels. In a second mode the sensor outputs data from the second one or more of the pixels. At least one of the first mode and the second mode is selected by a processor based on at least one of a result of processing data output in the first mode and a result of processing data output in the second mode.

Abstract: An imaging device includes a pixel and a signal processor configured to apply a first set of control signals to the pixel to generate a first pixel signal, a second pixel signal, a third pixel signal, and a fourth pixel signal based on light reflected from an object. The signal processor is configured to apply a second set of control signals to the pixel to generate a fifth pixel signal, a sixth pixel signal, a seventh pixel signal, and an eighth pixel signal based on the light reflected from the object. The signal processor is configured to calculate a distance to the object based on comparisons between selected ones of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth pixel signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to use of biphenols in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke, specifically to use of 3,3?,5,5?-tetraisopropyl-4,4?-biphenol and salt, ester, or solvate thereof in the preparation of a medicament for the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke injury.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biphenyl derivative and use thereof, and the biphenyl derivative has a structure represented by the formula (I) as defined in the specification. The use refers the use of the biphenyl derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the biphenyl derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of ischemic stroke.

Abstract: A device has a plurality of analog-to-digital converters. Each of the plurality of analog-to-digital converters has a voltage offset, wherein a predefined set of voltage offsets has a voltage offset distribution pattern, which provides a fingerprint for the device.

Abstract: A system and method for playing Flash-based media are disclosed in the present invention. The method comprises that: when a Flash conversion server receives a Flash play request sent from a media server, it parsing the request, if the Flash play request is a dynamic Flash request or a real-time Flash request, the Flash conversion server converting the Flash file that is requested to be played into code stream data, and pushing the code stream data to the media server; and the media server playing the received code stream data to the terminal. With the technical solution in the present invention, the Flash animation can be converted and played to a terminal in real time.
