Abstract: A controlling method of a water flosser, a water flosser control system, and a water flosser are provided. The controlling system comprises obtaining an oral image through an image acquiring device installed on the water flosser and controlling a water outlet nozzle of the water flosser to discharge water based on the oral image acquired by the image acquiring device.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for non-invasively detecting EGFR gene mutations in subjects, comprising the following steps: designing primers according to EGFR gene exons; extracting plasma DNAs in subjects; connecting the extracted plasma DNAs with tagging linkers; PCR pre-amplifying the tagging linkers connected plasma DNAs; cyclising the pre-amplified DNAs to obtain cyclised DNAs; PCR amplifying the cyclised DNAs using the designed primers; and high throughput sequencing the PCR amplified product and analyzing the EGFR gene mutations. The present invention also discloses a corresponding kit.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method, kit and primers for detecting fetal deafness pathogenic gene mutations. The method of the invention comprises: (a) designing primers according to the pre-determined mutation loci of deafness pathogenic genes; (b) extracting plasma DNAs in a pregnant woman; (c) connecting the extracted plasma DNAs with pre-amplification linkers to obtain connected products; (d) PCR pre-amplifying the connected product to obtain pre-amplified products; (e) cyclizing the pre-amplified products to obtain cyclised DNAs; (f) PCR amplifying the cyclised DNAs using the designed primers to obtain amplified products; and (g) high throughput sequencing the amplified products and analyzing the mutations of the fetal deafness pathogenic genes. The invention can effectively determine whether the pre-determined loci on deafness pathogenic genes have been mutated as well as the mutation type.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating data and data sets that are resistant to minimality attacks. Data sets having a number of tuples are received, and the tuples are ordered according to an aspect of the tuples. The tuples can be split into groups of tuples, and each of the groups may be analyzed to determine if the group complies with a privacy requirement. Groups that satisfy the privacy requirement may be output as new data sets that are resistant to minimality attacks.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for preserving trustworthiness of data, the method includes storing data on an untrusted system, and committing the data to a trusted computing base (TCB). The committing includes upon an end of a predetermined time interval, transmitting a constant size authentication data from the untrusted system to the TCB, and the TCB preserving trustworthiness of the authentication data based on performing a single hash operation of a first root and a second root of a general hash tree representing authenticated data.
