  • Patent number: 9831477
    Abstract: A battery accommodating module is used for accommodating a battery. The battery accommodating module includes a battery case and a latch member. The battery case has an accommodating space and a side of the battery case has two pivot holes and at least one first restraining portion. The latch member has two pivot portions and at least one second restraining portion, wherein the pivot portions are pivotally connected to the pivot holes, such that the latch member can rotate with respect to the battery case between a lock position and an unlock position. When the latch member is located at the unlock position, the first restraining portion keeps the second restraining portion at a first side of the first restraining portion. When the latch member is located at the lock position, the first restraining portion keeps the second restraining portion at a second side of the first restraining portion.

  • Patent number: 9817973
    Abstract: A method and device for monitoring virus trend abnormality are provided which may enable timely and effective monitoring of computer viruses. The method may include measuring a frequency of hits of a virus being found and/or removed. The frequency may be used for calculating an M-day moving average value of the number of hits of the virus. Method may also involve calculating a standardized residual of the number of hits of the virus. When the standardized residual is larger than a first preset threshold, the time at which the virus was encounter the last may be identified as an abnormality point on a trendline of the virus.

  • Publication number: 20170281541
    Abstract: Liposome-based mucus-penetrating particles (MPP) capable of loading hydrophilic agents including therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic agents such as the diaCEST MRI contrast agent barbituric acid (BA) were evaluated to determine how to optimize delivery. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated liposomes containing ?7 mol % PEG diffused only approximately 10-fold slower in human cervicovaginal mucus (CVM) compared to their theoretical speeds in water. 7 mol %-PEG liposomes provided improved vaginal distribution compared to 0 and 3 mol %-PEG liposomes.

  • Publication number: 20170272651
    Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to passive depth determination. Initially, a high power depth map of a scene can be created. An object in the scene can be identified, such as a rigid body or other object or portion of an object. A series of lower power or RGB images can be captured. The object can be located in one or more of the lower power or RGB images. A change in the position of an object, represented by a set of pixels, can be determined. From the change in position of the object, a new depth of the object can be extrapolated. The extrapolated depth of the object can be used to update the high power depth map.

  • Publication number: 20170266120
    Abstract: Nanocrystals, compositions, and methods that aid particle transport in mucus are provided. In some embodiments, the compositions and methods involve making mucus-penetrating particles (MPP) without any polymeric carriers, or with minimal use of polymeric carriers. The compositions and methods may include, in some embodiments, modifying the surface coatings of particles formed of pharmaceutical agents that have a low water solubility. Such methods and compositions can be used to achieve efficient transport of particles of pharmaceutical agents though mucus barriers in the body for a wide spectrum of applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and diagnostic applications. In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition including such particles is well-suited for administration routes involving the particles passing through a mucosal barrier.

  • Patent number: 9727906
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides computer-implemented systems and processes for clustering items and improving the utility of item recommendations. One process involves applying a clustering algorithm to users' search session queries over periods of time to generate query clusters comprising correlated query terms. Correlations may be based on, among other things, the frequency of which query term pairs appear together in a single search session. The generated query clusters may be used to generate item descriptor clusters indicative of items and/or types of items that may be complementary. Other criteria may be applied to the query and item clusters to generate variant clusters. For example, information such as related brands, market segments, and other data may be applied to item descriptor clusters to generate item clusters that include complementary items associated with or targeted for particular demographics. Item descriptor clusters and item clusters can be used to improve the item recommendations.
