Abstract: DNA aptamers that bind to tau protein at its phosphorylatable sites are identified. These disclosed DNA aptamers not only recognize tau at specific phosphorylatable sites, but also demonstrate inhibitory effects on phosphorylation and oligomer formation of tau protein. Molecular probes based on these disclosed DNA aptamers can be used as capture or detection agents to detect the levels of tau and phosphor-tau in cerebrospinal fluid as well as for cell-based or in vivo brain imaging in live animals or human. Compositions comprising these disclosed DNA aptamers can be used to arrest or treat the progression of tauopathy associated neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract: An encoding module applied to a computer input device is described, which includes an encoder and a scroll wheel. The encoder is electrically disposed on a circuit board of the computer input device and is protruded with a revolving shaft. The scroll wheel has a wheel axle passing there through and is rotatably disposed within a shell of the computer input device. One end of the wheel axle has two opposite clamping arms, so as to clamp the revolving shaft. Once the scroll wheel is rotated, the revolving shaft is driven to rotate together.

Abstract: A computer input device includes a housing, a move tracking module, and a light pervious plate. The move tracking module is disposed in the housing, and emits a sensing light. The light pervious plate is movably disposed between the housing and the move tracking module, and may be moved between a first position and a second position relatively to the move tracking module. In this manner, the sensing light selectively penetrates the light pervious plate and is emits out of the housing, or is directly emits out of the housing, so that the computer input device correspondingly executes a touch mode or a mouse mode.
