Abstract: A circuit board includes a substrate and a metallic layer. A first area and at least one second area are defined on a portion of the substrate, the second area is located outside the first area. The metallic layer includes first test lines disposed on the first area and second test lines disposed on the second area. A first test pad of each of the first test lines has a first width, and a second test pad of each of the second test lines has a second width. The second width is greater than the first width such that probes of an electrical testing tool can contact the first and second test pads on the circuit board correctly during electrical testing.

Abstract: Methods for diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancers by detection of endogenous peptides in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) are provided. Diagnostic peptides derived from dermcidin (DC) are provided. A specific dermcidin-derived peptide E-R11, having the sequence ENAGEDPGLAR (SEQ ID NO:2), is provided. E-R11 peptide levels in EBC, as measured by mass spectrometry (MS), are highly diagnostic of non-small cell lung cancers. A method for inhibiting growth of lung cancer cells by inhibiting DCD expression by RNA interference also is provided.

Abstract: A system is provided for diagnosing operation of an exhaust gas aftertreatment component for an internal combustion engine. The system includes a NOx sensor producing a NOx signal indicative of NOx content of exhaust gas exiting the aftertreatment component, and a control circuit configured to estimate as a function of a number of engine operating conditions a NOx inlet content corresponding to a NOx content of exhaust gas produced by the engine and entering the aftertreatment component. The control circuit is configured to determine a NOx conversion efficiency of the aftertreatment component as a function of the NOx signal and of the NOx inlet content, and to determine that the aftertreatment component is degraded if the NOx conversion efficiency is below a threshold value for at least a first predefined time period.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously producing jingling bells includes an upper mold plate and a lower mold plate. The upper mold plate includes a number of punch pins for punching a material web into jingling bells. A cutter is provided on the upper mold plate to cut an iron wire to thereby form a jingling member. The jingling member falls into a flower-like semi-product before closing the flower-like semi product. The lower mold plate includes a rotating wheel rotatably mounted thereto. The rotating wheel includes a number of closing holes for receiving the flower-like semi-product to be closed. An ejection pin provided on the upper mold plate ejects the jingling bell after formation.

Abstract: A bell includes two shells coupled together by a common foldable coupling element and foldable relative to each other for engaging with each other when folded at the coupling element. One of the shells includes a number of depressions, and the other shell includes a number of ears for engaging with the depressions so as to secure the shells together and so as to form the bell. The bell includes a configuration that is excellent for manufacturing purposes. A gap will be formed between the shells for facilitating sound transmitting effect.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a bell continuously and automatically with a number of mold pieces which are movable downward toward a lower mold having a number of mold cavities for engaging with one half of the bell. A plate member is fed step by step through the lower mold and the mold pieces so as to be formed into the bells. The mold pieces are arranged in series so as to form a recess in the plate member, to form four blades, to bend the blades, to feed a sounder into the bell, and to bend the blades again so as to form the outer half of the bell, and to disengage the bell from the plate member.
