Abstract: Disclosed is a spam message processing method, comprising: arranging a spam message storage unit on a media message server, the media message server receiving a spam reporting message from a media message client, and the spam reporting message at least carrying a spam message identifier; and the media message server storing related information about corresponding spam message in the spam message storage unit according to the spam reporting message. Also correspondingly disclosed is a spam message processing system. The present invention can effectively avoid the interference of spam messages on users, and improve user experience.

Abstract: An antimicrobial silicone rubber comprises a silicone rubber substrate, a catechol layer bound to a surface of the silicone rubber substrate, and an antimicrobial layer disposed on the catechol layer. The catechol layer comprises a catechol material, a quinone derivative thereof, and/or a polymer of the foregoing catechol material and/or quinone derivative. The antimicrobial layer comprises an antimicrobial cationic polycarbonate covalently linked to the catechol layer.

Abstract: A method, device and system for sending media messages are disclosed in the present document. The method includes a media server receiving a media message which is delivered by a sending client through IMAP to a storage unit for the message to be sent pre-allocated to a sending user, the media server storing the received media message in the storage unit for message to be sent of the sending user, and the media server acquiring a media message unsent in the storage unit for message to be sent and forwarding the media message according to an identifier of a recipient user carried in the acquired media message. In such a fashion, it can be guaranteed that an IMAP client can possess the function of sending the messages, which reduces the complexity of implementing the terminal technology.

Abstract: A method and a system for processing media messages. The method includes a sending party client generating and sending a media message, wherein the media message carries at least two media contents and marker information indicating a playing relationship between the media contents; a media server receiving the media message sent by the sending party client; and a receiving party client acquiring the media message from the media server and playing the media contents according to the instruction of the marker information. The method and system provide a new media content processing mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for supporting communications for a plurality of transmitter-receiver pairs on a common frequency spectrum. A transmitting device transmits a consecutively sequenced signal sequentially containing messages to a corresponding receiving device. A duty cycle adjustment circuit determines the duration between adjacent messages so that the consecutively sequenced signal is characterized by a randomized duty cycle. The duty cycle adjustment circuit selects the duration from a sequence that is characterized by an average duration. The duty cycle adjustment circuit obtains the duration from an array by determining an index from a function of a random variable. A receiving device receives a consecutively sequenced signal sequentially containing messages from a transmitting device, where the consecutively sequenced signal is characterized by a randomized duty cycle.

Abstract: Apparatus for ultrasonic vibration-assisted machining, the apparatus comprising an ultrasonic transducer for generating ultrasonic waves in a vibration horn; first clamp on the vibration horn at a static node of the ultrasonic waves; and a second clamp between the first clamp and a lowermost end of the vibration horn. The second clamp comprises a linear bearing for reducing vibration of the vibration horn in a direction laterally of the vibration horn, and allowing vibration of the vibration horn in the direction of a longitudinal axial of the vibration horn.

Abstract: The invention provides novel methods and compositions for modulating gene function in plants. In particular, the invention provides methods and compositions that allow, for the first time, virus-induced gene silencing in rice. The invention is significant in that prior techniques were not available for rice and because of the major importance of rice to agriculture. The invention therefore provides techniques for the analysis of gene function in rice, as well as in other monocotyledonous species and dicotyledonous plant species.
