Abstract: A high speech manufacturing cell (HSMC) (80) system is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of high speech manufacturing cells (80) linked together to allow parts on a production line to flow through each cell (80) and be processed. Each of the HSMCs performs a multitude of manufacturing processes via the use of direct drive linear and/or rotary motors. The invention includes a smart alignment methodology (SAM) together with an interfacing for HSMCs or the likes in reducing the overall time taken to set up manufacturing lines on site.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a network connection system. The network connection system includes a gateway, an extender, and a wireless access point. Wherein, the gateway can be used as one of the enrollee router and the registrar router, and the extender can be used as the other of the enrollee router and the registrar router, and the extender can send authentication information to the gateway. After the gateway confirms that the extender is a model supported by the gateway according to the authentication information, the gateway sends a credential to the extender, allowing the extender to establish a wireless mesh network through the wireless access point. In this way, the purpose of seamless connection is achieved. In addition, the network connection system of the present invention has functions such as high security and convenience.

Abstract: A communication system, a data transmission method thereof, and a user device thereof are provided. The data transmission method includes the following steps. A first transmitting Radio Link Control (Tx RLC) entity of a first base station transmits a first Protocol Data Unit (PDU) to a first receiving Radio Link Control (Rx RLC) entity of a user equipment via a first leg. A second Tx RLC entity of a second base station transmits a second PDU to a second Rx RLC entity of the user equipment via a second leg. If the first Rx RLC entity successfully receives the first PDU or the second Rx RLC entity successfully receives the second PDU, the first Rx RLC entity and the second RLC entity return Acknowledgement (ACK) messages.

Abstract: A communication system, a data transmission method and a base station thereof are provided. The communication system includes a first base station and a second base station. The first base station includes a physical layer unit, a MAC layer unit and a PDCP layer unit. The physical layer unit is configured to transmit with a user equipment through a transmission channel. The MAC layer unit is configured to determine whether a retransmission ratio of the transmission channel is higher than a first threshold and to determine whether a transmission speed of the transmission channel is lower than a second threshold. If the retransmission ratio is higher than the first threshold and/or the transmission speed is lower than the second threshold, the first base station copy a packet and then transmits the copied packet to the second base station which accordingly transmits the copied packet to the user equipment.

Abstract: A network path selection method and a network node device using the same are disclosed. The network path selection method includes: determining whether a first uplink time parameter table is received from the first relay node device and whether a second uplink time parameter table is received from the second relay node device; when the first uplink time parameter table is received from the first relay node device and the second uplink time parameter table is received from the second relay node device, calculating a first estimated uplink time parameter according to the first uplink time parameter table and a second estimated uplink time parameter according to the second uplink time parameter table; and determining to connect to a gateway via one of the first relay node device and the second relay node device according to the first estimated uplink time parameter and the second estimated uplink time parameter.

Abstract: Provided herein are new methods for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases affecting the spinal cord, including the use of biodegradable polymers to treat spinal cord tumor recessing, i.e., to patch open zones left by spinal tumor removal. Biocompatible polymeric materials are tailored to fill areas previously occupied by tumors, e.g., materials in the form of tubular articles configured for insertion into the spinal column after surgical removal of a tumor. These protective articles may also include medicinal agents that stimulate spinal column neural regeneration, such as medicines or donor neuronal cells such as human neural stem cells, thus assisting patients to recover motorsensory function after spinal tumor surgery.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas flow guiding device for use in a crystal-growing furnace. The gas flow guiding device has an insulation layer enclosing a crucible, a gas inlet mounted in the upper insulation layer, and a gas exit formed in the lateral insulation layer. A plurality of guide plates are radially arranged around the opening of the gas inlet, so that the free surface of the melt is blown by the guided gas flow in such a manner that the gas flow takes the impurity away from the free surface efficiently. As a result, the crystal ingot obtained by solidifying the melt will exhibit a reduced concentration of impurities and an improved crystal quality.
