Abstract: The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for indoor positioning. The method includes obtaining a first location of a subject at a first time point. The method also includes determining one or more motion parameters associated with the subject at least based on one or more sensors carried by the subject. The method further includes determining, based on the first location of the subject and the one or more motion parameters associated with the subject, a second location of the subject at a second time point after the first time point. The method still further includes adjusting, at least based on surroundings information associated with the subject at the second time point, the second location of the subject to determine a target location of the subject.

Abstract: The base is provided with a first sliding position and a second sliding position along the sliding direction of the latch; when the sliding latch is in the first sliding position, it is connected to the atomization core to restrict the axial movement of the atomization core along the through-hole; and when it is in the second sliding position, it is disengaged from the atomization core to release the restriction. The detachable atomization core atomizer of the present invention is designed by the way of lower intake and lower replacement of atomization core; by sliding the latch, the atomization core is automatically ejected; when installing the atomization core, just insert it according to the direction, simple and hygienic operation without oil leakage.

Abstract: A liftgate support bracket connection arrangement for a vehicle liftgate. The liftgate can be for a rear vehicle liftgate or any other type of liftgate found on a vehicle. Connected to the composite inner panel are support brackets. The inner panel of a liftgate has a plurality of bosses formed on an outer surface of the inner panel. Each of the support brackets has a plurality of apertures corresponding in number to the plurality of bosses. Each one of the plurality of apertures is configured to align with one of the plurality of bosses and then screws are used to mechanically fasten the support bracket to the inner panel.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of Bifidobacterium and berberine in the preparation of a medicament for treating pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Specifically, the medicament is applicable to pre-diabetic patients, or patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level being 5.6 mmol/L or more and lower than 8.0 mmol/L, or venous plasma glucose at 2 hours post OGTT being 7.8 mmol/L or more and less than 17 mmol/L.

Abstract: A method of controlling an LED driver can include: generating a first comparison signal using a first reference voltage, the first comparison signal having a duty cycle in accordance with an alternating current input voltage generated by a transformer of the LED driver, and representing an operation frequency of an input source; generating a conversion voltage signal by an averaging operation of the first comparison signal with a time constant that is greater than a switching period of an electronic transformer; generating a second comparison signal by comparing the conversion voltage signal against a second reference voltage; and determining whether the transformer is the electronic transformer or a power frequency transformer based on the second comparison signal.

Abstract: An intestinal microorganism metagenomic feature is a bacteroid intestinal pattern. By using the intestinal metagenomic pattern, it was found that type 2 diabetic patients with different intestinal parasitic bacterial flora had remarkably different responses to treatment with the diabetic hypoglycemic drug acarbose. Therefore, before treatments, the intestinal patterns of the patients can be assessed to select those patients likely to experience optimal curative effects, and to determine whether acarbose is suitable for the treatment of individual patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition, while intestinal patterns are conventionally distinguished by DNA sequencing or PCT amplification of parasitic bacteria in excrements, the intestinal patterns can be well distinguished using a bile acid composition, especially secondary bile acids, under baseline conditions. The intestinal patterns can be identified through markers in blood, and then be used as markers for diagnosis.

Abstract: The present invention provides devices for detecting the presence of an analyte in a liquid sample. The parts of the device include a sample collector for collecting and applying a liquid sample, a test matrix with reagents for detecting the analyte, a sample application port for receiving the liquid sample, the port being in fluid communication with the test matrix, a storage port for storing the sample collector in contact with the device, a window though which at least a portion of the matrix is visible, and a standards card having one or more color standards for comparison with the test matrix. In one embodiment the analyte detected is alcohol is saliva (ethanol). In use the sample collector is placed in contact with the sample (e.g., in the mouth of the subject) and filled with sample, and the sample is expressed from the collector at the sample application port to begin the assay. The standards cards on the device are used for comparison to identify the concentration of analyte in the sample.

Abstract: A heat exchanger device including at least one fin provided with a mechanism for blowing a fluid. The blowing mechanism includes at least one of the walls of the fin, the at least one of the walls having open porosity.
