Abstract: A method for predicting clinical severity of a neurological disorder includes steps of: a) identifying, according to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of a brain, brain image regions each of which contains a respective portion of diffusion index values of a diffusion index, which results from image processing performed on the MRI image; b) for one of the brain image regions, calculating a characteristic parameter based on the respective portion of the diffusion index values; and c) calculating a severity score that represents the clinical severity of the neurological disorder of the brain based on the characteristic parameter of the one of the brain image regions via a prediction model associated with the neurological disorder.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a bean processing device comprising: a first processing tank, which comprises a first pulverizer, the first processing tank is for loading the beans for soaking, cooking and crushing; a second pulverizer, which is applied as a holding tank for the fine crushing of the primary crushed beans from the first processing tank; a second processing tank, which is connected with the second pulverizer, and applied for holding the bean products; and a conjunction pipe, which is applied for connecting the first processing tank and the second pulverizer to form a airtight automatic processing system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a legume processing method, comprising the steps of: (a) washing beans; (b) cooking the washed beans; (c) crushing the cooked beans; (d) holding the crushed beans in step (c) for a predetermined period of time; and (e) pulverizing the beans in step (d) to obtain a bean product containing single bean cells, wherein steps (b)-(c) are carried out in the same tank. The bean processing method disclosed does not require the use of any enzyme or chemical reagent. The present invention further provides a method for making whole bean soymilk, which can further process the whole bean soymilk into liquid or powder soybean products.
