Abstract: Subsequent to initializing a frame buffer associated with a menu, an information handling system decomposes content of the frame buffer into a text space, a foreground space, and a background space. The system navigates the menu to a key node using a control key, wherein the key node includes an expected text and an expected attribute. The system also matches a text and an attribute of a current element to the expected text and the expected attribute, wherein the text is from the text space, and wherein the attribute is a foreground color from the foreground space or a background color from the background space.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a storage and a baseboard management controller. The storage stores a current firmware release for the information handling system. The baseboard management controller generates a set of breakpoints for code differences from a previous firmware release to the current firmware release and executes multiple testcases for the current firmware release. Based on the execution of the testcases, the baseboard management controller stores breakpoint hitting events for the testcases in the storage. The baseboard management controller filters and ranks the breakpoint hitting events and maps the filtered and ranked breakpoint hitting events to the code differences. The baseboard management controller stores a reduced list of the code differences that are highly related to failed testcases of the current firmware release in the storage.

Abstract: This application provides an audio playing method and a related apparatus. The method includes an electronic device starts to play a first video clip, where a picture of the first video clip includes a first sound-making target; the electronic device obtains first audio output by the first sound-making target; at a first moment, when the electronic device determines that a location of the first sound-making target in the picture of the first video clip is a first location, the electronic device outputs the first audio via a first speaker; the electronic device obtains second audio output by the first sound-making target; and at a second moment, when the electronic device determines that the location of the first sound-making target in the picture of the first video clip is a second location, the electronic device outputs the second audio via a second speaker.

Abstract: A foam control composition includes a component (A) and a component (B).

Component (B) comprises a filler.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method of halogenating phenols, yielding a range of halogenated phenols with enantiomeric ratio of up to 99.5:0.5. In certain embodiments, the subject invention pertains to a method of asymmetric halogenation of bisphenol, yielding a range of chiral bisphenol ligands. The novel chiral bisphenols are potent privileged catalyst cores that can be applied to the preparation of ligands for various catalytic asymmetric reactions. The catalyst library can easily be accessed because late-stage modification of the scaffold can readily be executed through cross-coupling of the halogen handles on the bisphenols.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are unique assay methods and devices that provide simple and quick evaluation of function, status and/or activity of an immune system of a subject. Specifically exemplified is a method that involves mixing an assay substance with a blood or blood component from the subject to form an assay product that comprises at least one unit of the assay substance and at least one molecular component of the blood or blood component; analyzing the assay product under conditions to determine an assay product property (the assay product property including a physical, chemical, optical, electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical property); and comparing the assay product property with a correlative property of an unexposed assay substance to generate a comparative data value, wherein the comparative data value indicates the function, status and/or activity of an immune system of the subject.
