Abstract: A piezoelectric lighter includes a lighter housing having a liquefied gas storage, a gas emitting nozzle extended from the liquefied gas storage, a piezoelectric unit disposed in the lighter housing, and a lighter cap slidably coupled on top of the lighter housing above the piezoelectric unit. The gas emitting nozzle is slidably received at a nozzle window of the lighter cap, wherein an exit opening of the gas emitting nozzle is embedded in the ceiling of the lighter cap to protect the exit opening of the gas emitting nozzle. When the lighter cap is depressed to expose the exit opening of the gas emitting nozzle above the ceiling of the lighter cap, the piezoelectric unit is depressed and the gas emission unit is actuated at the same time to produce a flame at the exit opening of the gas emitting nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention describes biomarkers that have been discovered to correlate with varied individual responses (e.g., efficacy, adverse effect, and other end points) to enzastaurin, in treating diseases such as, DLBCL, GBM, and other cancer types. The newly discovered biomarkers and others in linkage disequilibrium with them can be used in companion diagnostic tests which can help to predict drug responses and apply drugs only to those who will be benefited, or exclude those who might not be beneficial, by the treatment.

Abstract: A localization and attitude estimation method using a magnetic field is provided. At least one set of three magnetic landmarks is set in a three-dimensional space, and any two of the three magnetic landmarks have different magnetic directions. The tri-axes magnetic sensor is used for sensing the magnetic fields of the three magnetic landmarks, and three magnetic components on the three axes of the current position of the tri-axes magnetic sensor are generated by a magnetic source separating method. After three non-linear equations are obtained according to the three magnetic components on the three axes of the current position of the tri-axes magnetic sensor, three non-linear equations are solved to obtain the position information of the tri-axes magnetic sensor, and attitude vectors of the tri-axes magnetic sensor in the three-dimensional space are estimated according to tri-axes magnetic vectors of the tri-axes magnetic sensor relative to the three magnetic landmarks.

Abstract: The present invention describes genomic biomarkers that have been discovered to correlate with varied individual responses (efficacy, adverse effect, and other end points) to therapeutic retinoid X receptor modulator, such as bexarotene, in treating diseases such as, non small cell lung cancer. The newly discovered biomarkers and others in linkage disequilibrium with them can be used in companion diagnostic tests which can help to predict drug responses and apply drugs only to those who will be benefited, or exclude those who might have adverse effects, by the treatment.

Abstract: A memory system comprises a memory controller and a memory device having one or more memory ranks and multiple memory electrically connected to the one or more memory ranks. The memory controller includes at least one analysis module and at least one switching determination module. The analysis module analyzes states of multiple memory control commands corresponding to a particular memory rank to generate a control parameter. The switching determination module determines whether at least one switching command is sent according to the control parameter, a current operation mode of the particular memory rank, and an operation state of the particular memory rank. When the memory device receives a first switching command of the at least one command, the particular rank and at least one part of the memory internal circuits are switched from the normal voltage operation mode to the low voltage operation mode.

Abstract: A packet data network gateway and a UE mobility management system are disclosed. In the packet data network gateway, a context management unit is configured to: when the P-GW is selected as the UE's target P-GW, create a context for the UE and store the UE's context information from S-GW and a source P-GW to which the UE is currently attached; an identity management unit is configured to: assign a location identity including the UE's routing information to the UE. The present invention reselects a P-GW for the UE to attach, thereby eliminating the circuitous routing in the process of the UE connecting and using services, saving transmission bearer resources, reducing transmission delay of data packet, and ensuring that the UE is still reachable after changing the attached P-GW, thus neither the UE nor the peer end is aware of the movement of the UE in the IP level.
