Abstract: A hydrogen storage apparatus includes a canister and at least one hydrogen storage unit. The canister has at least a hollow rod. The hydrogen storage unit is disposed in the canister. The hydrogen storage unit includes a housing, a heat-dissipating channel and a plurality of heat-dissipating partitions. The periphery of the housing is configured with a plurality of grooves, and each groove has a plurality of first holes. The heat-dissipating channel is located within the housing. Each heat-dissipating partition has a plurality of second holes and connects to the housing and heat-dissipating channel. The heat-dissipating partitions divide the space inside the housing. The first holes and the second holes connect to the inner space of the housing.

Abstract: In one aspect, in general, a method is provided for detecting temperature and protein denaturation of a tissue during thermal therapy. The method includes generating a plurality of MR pulse sequences that include a first group of pulse sequences and a second group of pulse sequences, and receiving a plurality of response signals that include a first and second group of response signals in response to the first and second groups of pulse sequences, respectively. A first information associated with a degree of protein denaturation of the tissue is determined based on the first and second groups of response signals. A second information associated with a temperature of the tissue is determined based on at least some of the plurality of response signals.

Abstract: The dynamo, current turbine system and its installation and maintenance method are provided. The current turbine system comprises at least one dynamo; wherein each one of dynamo contains a rotor unit, at least one stator unit and at least one space. The rotor unit has rotative axis approximately perpendicular to the flow direction; pluralities of disturbing elements are disposed outside so that drag force relative to the current flow is formed; the rotor unit is driven to rotate when the current flow passes through the disturbing elements; the space is disposed inside the rotor unit; whereby the current turbine system may be suspended underwater. The installation and maintenance method may conveniently install or maintain the dynamo or the current turbine system with economic cost.

Abstract: A one-way media streaming system and a corresponding method thereof are provided. The system includes a relay server, a first user device, and a second user device. The first user device and the relay server determine the format of a specialized media streaming packet by exchanging at least one Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) option message. The first user device sends the specialized media streaming packet conforming to the format through a firewall to the relay server. The second user device sends a one-way media streaming packet to the relay server. The relay server changes the destination port of the one-way media streaming packet to be the same as the source port of the specialized media streaming packet of the first user device. The relay server then relays the one-way media streaming packet through the firewall to the first user device.

Abstract: A compressor/decompressor (Codec) selecting apparatus includes a performance analyzer, a training server, a storage unit, and a selecting unit. The performance analyzer analyzes the performance of the current internet communication system, and outputs environmental parameters accordingly. The training server obtains learning data corresponding to a hyperplane according to training samples. The storage unit stores the learning data and the related parameters. The selecting unit does a functional analysis according to the environmental parameters and the learning data in order to select the Codec suitable for the current internet communication system.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a timing controller, a panel, and a driving chip. The timing controller includes a data pin port, a control pin, and a selector. The data pin port includes a plurality of pins. The control pin receives a control signal. The selector determines a transmission or receiving sequence of signals for the pins of the data pin port according to the control signal. After receiving the signals, the driving chip drives the panel to display according to the signals. Since the sequence of the pins is adaptable, the timing controller may be used in a face up or down configuration depending on the circuitry type of the liquid crystal display.
