Abstract: A biochemical substance analysis system (5) is used to detect biological characteristics of a sample in a flow cell (38), and includes a detection system (51), a scheduling system (53), a biochemical reaction system (55), and a control system (57). The scheduling system (53) is used to schedule the flow cell (38) at different sites, including sites in the detection system (51) and sites in the biochemical reaction system (55). The biochemical reaction system (55) is used to allow the sample to react in the flow cell (38). The detection system (51) is used to detect a signal from the reacted sample to obtain a signal representing the biological characteristics of the sample. The control system (57) is used to control the detection system (51), the scheduling system (53), and the biochemical reaction system (55) to cooperate. The disclosure improves automation degree and flux of the biochemical substance analysis.

Abstract: A container includes a handheld body, a positioning rod, and a storage assembly. The handheld body defines a storage space. The positioning rod has at least one positioning part. The storage assembly includes a push-pull rod, a storage base, and a positioning member. The push-pull rod is operable to drive the positioning member to move therewith between a storage position, where the positioning member separably engages the at least one positioning part so as to position the storage base in the storage space, and an accessing position, where the positioning member is disengaged from the at least one positioning part.

Abstract: Systems and methods for ejecting removable entities from electronic devices are provided. A removable entity ejection system may include a driver that may be controllable by software (e.g., via a control unit that may be configured to send electrical signals to the driver). The driver may include a driving component that may apply a force directly, or indirectly, to one or more removable entities to eject the one or more removable entities from an electronic device. When the force is applied indirectly, one or more interfacing components may receive the applied force and may transfer the received force to the one or more removable entities to cause ejection thereof.

Abstract: An article display device convertible between a planar display state and a three-dimensional display state, and includes a display unit and a connecting mechanism. The display unit includes two side display plates, and a connecting display unit disposed between and connected turnably to the side display plates. The connecting display unit includes at least one connecting display plate. The display unit further includes a plurality of hanger sets provided on the side display plates and the connecting display plate. Each of the hanger sets includes two spaced apart hanger plates for holding an article. The connecting mechanism is provided on the side display plates and is operable to interconnect releasably the side display plates when the article display device is in the three-dimensional display state.

Abstract: A toolbox includes first and second toolbox parts that are coupled pivotably to each other. Each of the first and second toolbox parts has first and second end openings that open in directions transverse to each other. The first and second toolbox parts are pivotable relative to each other between a first position, where the first end openings in the first and second toolbox parts open in the same direction and where the second end opening in said first toolbox part is registered with the second end opening in the second toolbox part, and a second position, where the first end openings in the first and second toolbox parts open away from each other.

Abstract: A toolbox includes first and second toolbox parts, and a pivot joint unit. The first toolbox part defines an accommodating space, and has an opening that is in spatial communication with the accommodating space. The pivot joint unit interconnects the first and second toolbox parts, and permits relative rotation between the first and second toolbox parts from a closed position, where the first and second toolbox parts overlap with each other such that the second toolbox part covers the opening in the first toolbox part, and an open position, where the first and second toolbox parts overlap with each other such that the second toolbox part uncovers the opening in the first toolbox part.

Abstract: A tool includes a tool bit and a tool handle. The tool handle is coupled detachably to the tool bit, and includes a handle member, a lid unit, and a tool holder unit. The handle member defines an accommodating space, and an opening that is in spatial communication with the accommodating space. The lid unit serves to cover the opening in the handle member. The tool holder unit is mounted on the lid unit for holding the tool bit, and is mounted on the lid unit such that the tool holder unit is received in the accommodating space when the lid unit covers the opening in the handle member and such that the tool holder unit is disposed externally of the handle member when the lid unit uncovers the opening in the handle member.

Abstract: A method for reducing data with limited distortion of an image formed of the data includes determining whether reduction of the data is feasible and reducing the data if reduction of the data is feasible. Determining whether reduction of the source data is feasible includes determining whether clipping has been performed. Determining whether reduction of the source data is feasible includes determining whether merging has been performed. Determining whether reduction of the source data is feasible includes determining whether a difference between the width of the source data and the height of the source data is big. Determining whether reduction of the source data is feasible includes determining whether the source data is few. Determining whether reduction of the source data is feasible includes determining whether magnification has been performed.

Abstract: A method for selecting one best from several data-compressing methods for source data including a step of sampling the source data, a step of compressing the sample data by each of the data-compressing methods, a step of calculating the total length of the sample data compressed by each of the data-compressing methods, a step of comparing the total lengths with one another other in order to determine one best from the data-compressing methods, and a step of selecting the best data-compressing method. The step of sampling the source data may include a step of determining whether the source data are plenty, a step of sampling at least two groups of at least one line if the source data are plenty, and a step of sampling only one group of at least one line if the source data are not plenty. The source data may be determined to be plenty if they include at least ten lines. The step of sampling at least two groups may include a step of sampling three groups.
