Abstract: A door locking mechanism and semiconductor container using the same include door panel, cover, and locking module. The door panel has a first stop structure. The cover and the door panel define an accommodating space for receiving the locking module. The locking module includes rotating member, holding member, and elastic member. The elastic member is disposed on the holding member and has a second stop structure near the first stop structure. The elastic member is disposed between the holding and the rotating member. The elastic member is compressed when a force is applied to the holding member, and the second stop structure detaches from a limitation state with the first stop structure for allowing a rotating operation of the rotating member. The elastic member elastically restores when the force is removed, and the second stop structure returns to the limitation state for limiting the rotating operation.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a use of prochlorperazine (PCP), or analog thereof for treating a cancer in a subject by influencing membrane proteins and receptors and inducing alterations in the expressions of the surface marker on cancer cells and their derived extracellular vesicles. The invention method offers a novel approach for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer and metastasis. Specific surface markers serve as a potential candidate for cancer-associated extracellular vesicles (EVs) and have applications in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic targeting.

Abstract: A holding device for a top-opening substrate container includes a holding assembly for pushing a substrate actuator disposed at a substrate to operate. The holding assembly includes a holding body and a pushing actuator. The pushing actuator includes a first guiding sloped surface for pressing against a second guiding sloped surface of an inner surface of a container door structure. The first guiding sloped surface causing corresponding pushing and displacement between the first guiding sloped surface and the second guiding sloped surface according to a supporting force of the container door structure. A pushing section is connected to the first guiding sloped surface, and capable of correspondingly pushing the substrate actuator to operate according to a level of the pushing and displacement of the first guiding sloped surface, such that the substrate actuator displaces substrates and stacks the substrates with another in layers.

Abstract: This document describes low-latency Bluetooth connectivity in a wireless network in which a central node and a peripheral node establish a connection. During a first connection interval, the peripheral node receives a packet from the central node to synchronize communication with the central node, and based on receiving the packet, the peripheral node transmits a first fixed-length packet. If the first fixed-length packet fails to reach the central node, the peripheral node does not receive an acknowledgement, ACK, from the central node during the first connection interval and retransmits the first fixed-length packet during the first connection interval.

Abstract: A method for generating a random number is used for a plurality of blocks in a blockchain. The method comprises the steps of: selecting a committee comprising a subset of nodes from the blockchain; executing a distributed key generation to generate a share key and a public key at each of the nodes, wherein the public key further comprises a set of verification keys; broadcasting a share signature from each of the nodes; executing a threshold signature at each of the nodes when a new block is generated; and executing a random number which is a hash value of the threshold signature which is combined from a plurality of partial signature generated from the nodes.

Abstract: A method for building agreements among a plurality of nodes in a distributed system to improve the throughput of the distributed system is disclosed. The method comprises performing a first Byzantine Agreement protocol; selecting a first leader node from the plurality of nodes; broadcasting a fast message from the first leader node to all other nodes when a clock is equal to 0; determining whether the first leader node decides a block according to a number of a plurality of fast-vote messages received from all other nodes by the first leader node and a value of the clock; and performing a second Byzantine Agreement protocol if it is determined that the first leader node cannot decide a block.

Abstract: A method for a node to issue a new block is used for a distributed system in which transactions and records are organized in block. The method comprises the steps of: determining a value R from a common reference string; computing a value s associated to a value of a status with a private key at a node, wherein the private key is a private signing key corresponding to the node, and the value s can only be computed by the node with the private key; computing a value r by taking the value s into a function H at the node, wherein the value r is unpredictable and unique to other nodes; and determining whether the node obtains a right to issue a new block by taking the values R and r into a function V.
