Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the technical fields of computational medicine and clinical oncology, and specifically relates to a molecular subtyping method for gastric cancer (GC) based on metabolic genes, a construction method for a prognostic prediction model and applications. In the present disclosure, metabolic process alterations are overall assessed, and new metabolic transcription patterns based on 456 metabolic gene-related signatures are identified. Three different metabolic patterns are validated by unsupervised consensus clustering analysis and independent datasets, and molecular and clinical pathological features of these three metabolite clusters have different metabolic gene expressions, pathway enrichments, gene variations, and survival outcomes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented surveillance method for surveilling an area of interest using a set of drones, the surveillance method including monitoring a number of operational drones among the set of drones. If a change in the number of operational drones is detected, performing a segmentation step for segmenting the area of interest into N sub-areas, N being the current number of operational drones; and performing an affectation step for affecting each operational drone to a respective sub-area for surveilling said sub-area.

Abstract: An RF connection assembly is provided for DC to mmWave signals. The RF connection assembly includes a GTMS assembly including a shroud, glass insulation filling a portion of the shroud to define an inner recess, and a gold plated GTMS center conductor secured by the glass insulation and protruding from the inner recess; and a pin and bead assembly including an RF center conductor including a clamping mechanism having a collar, and a center socket defined by the clamping mechanism, the center socket being accessible through an opening in the collar. The collar has a smooth inner edge around a perimeter, configured to guide a tip of the GTMS center conductor into the center socket of the RF center conductor for connecting the GTMS assembly and the pin and bead assembly, minimizing scraping of the GTMS center conductor by the inner edge of the opening.

Abstract: A speed-determining system in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The internal combustion engine includes a crankshaft, a camshaft, and an engine control module (ECM). The system includes a first gear that rotates with the crankshaft and a second gear attached to the camshaft. At least one idler gear is operatively meshed with the first gear and the second gear. A fuel pump gear, meshed with the idler gear, is driven proportionally to the first gear and the second gear. The fuel pump gear includes a transversal face, a circumferential lip portion, and a number of notches along the circumferential lip portion. A proximity sensor, in communication with the ECM, is spaced from the second gear. A rotation of the fuel pump gear moves the notches relative to the proximity sensor, triggering the proximity sensor to register movement of the fuel pump gear and calculate at least a camshaft speed.

Abstract: This invention relates to a non-contact continuous photoelectric inspecting device for paint coating contamination on welding seams of steel can sheet. The device uses a continuous light beam with adjustable, controllable projected light quantity as a light source, where a light beam is projected on welding seams of a steel can sheet to be inspected through a set of focusing lens that may adjust size of the light beam. Another set of light collecting lens for collecting light beam being reflected by the welding seams of the steel can sheet is provided at where the reflected light projects, wherein the reflected light beam is condensed onto a photo sensor. A set of a specially designed photoelectric converting identifying circuit controls operation of the entire inspecting device, where a set of photoelectric current amplifier converts and amplifies photoelectric currents being output by the photo sensor to voltage signals.

Abstract: A low leakage rotary valve composes of a housing, a rotor, a driving end valve cover and a washing end valve cover. The driving end valve cover and the washing end valve cover are to secure the rotor in the housing. The driving end valve cover houses a detachable driving shaft which can transmit an external driving force to the rotor for rotation. The washing end valve cover allows the rotor to be removed for cleaning. Inside the driving end valve cover and washing end valve cover, there are provided respectively a sealing ring to prevent the material contained in the valve from contamination or to avoid pressure leakage. The edge of the blades of the rotor is extended to reduce gas leakage. A three-dimensional sealing is integrally provided on the outer edges of the rotor blades and the circumferential edges of the driving end valve cover and the washing end valve cover to further prevent gas leakage that may occur.
