Abstract: A spring box, which can be used in a window covering, includes a prestressing device, a cord reel, and a cord-guiding shaft provided on a horizontal plane of a base. The prestressing device provides a force to the cord reel to rotate the cord reel and wind up a lift cord, wherein the lift cord contacts and goes around the cord-guiding shaft before being connected to the covering material of the window covering. By providing the cord-guiding shaft at a predetermined tilt orientation and tilt angle, the lift cord can be properly guided and the movement thereof can be restrained. In this way, during the process of winding up, the lift cord can be prevented from having its cord loops overlapping or tangling with each other.

Abstract: A prediction system for grouping hepatocellular carcinoma includes an image capturing unit and a non-transitory machine readable medium. The non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which, when executed by at least one processing unit, predicts a hepatocellular carcinoma group of the subject patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. The program includes a reference database obtaining module, a first image preprocessing module, a feature selecting module, a classifying module, a second image preprocessing module and a comparing module.

Abstract: Systems and methods for device appraisal are described. Some implementations include receiving a request from a mobile station to access a device appraisal service, retrieving one or more parameters associated with the mobile station, where the parameters include at least a mobile directory number (MDN) of the mobile station, automatically determining a model of the mobile station based on the MDN, displaying, at the mobile station, a web interface of the device appraisal service, providing for display in the web interface an identification of the model of the mobile station and user interface elements to receive condition information of the mobile station, determining a trade-in value of the mobile station based on the identified model and the condition information, and providing the trade-in value of the mobile station to the web interface for display at the mobile station.

Abstract: A wireless image transmitting apparatus includes an image processing unit, a wireless bridging module, and a wireless local area network module. The wireless bridging module includes a network switch and a network port. The network switch is in signal communication with the network port and the image processing unit. The WLAN module is in signal communication with the network switch. The WLAN module uses a first type of packet and a first band to transmit a signal from the image processing unit and uses a second type of packet and a second band to transmit a signal from the network port. A method for transmitting data in a wireless image transmitting apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A manual vacuum device is introduced to provide vacuum isolation in a container. The manual vacuum device comprises a lower cover disposed on the container and an upper cover rotatably disposed on the lower cover to form a first air chamber. The lower cover includes a first air channel fluidly communicating the container with the first air chamber and a first check valve disposed within the first air channel to prevent air from flowing back to the container. The upper cover includes a second air channel fluidly communicating the first air chamber with the external environment and a second check valve disposed within the second air channel to prevent air in the external environment from flowing back to the first air chamber. The air in the container exhausts to the external environment by the rotational movement of the upper cover relative to the lower cover.
