Abstract: A method for predicting clinical severity of a neurological disorder includes steps of: a) identifying, according to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of a brain, brain image regions each of which contains a respective portion of diffusion index values of a diffusion index, which results from image processing performed on the MRI image; b) for one of the brain image regions, calculating a characteristic parameter based on the respective portion of the diffusion index values; and c) calculating a severity score that represents the clinical severity of the neurological disorder of the brain based on the characteristic parameter of the one of the brain image regions via a prediction model associated with the neurological disorder.

Abstract: A laboratory has a mobile housing, a testing apparatus, a shielding unit and a first/second testing set. The housing has a top, an interior space and a shielding baffle formed inside the interior space to divide the interior space into a first room and a second room having a top, four sides and a bottom. The testing apparatus is mounted inside the first room. The shielding unit is mounted inside the second room. The first testing set is mounted inside the second room and enclosed inside the shielding unit. The testing set includes a table and a receiver. The table is attached to the bottom of the second room. The receiver is separable from the table and is electrically connected to the testing apparatus in the first room. In such an arrangement, the mobile laboratory can be transported to any desired location conveniently and is versatile in use.

Abstract: A cool mug is provided with a closed chamber defined between an outer vessel and an inner vessel. The bottom is closed with a bottom cap to form the closed chamber. The bottom cap has a hole for filling the closed chamber with a thermal storage substance for low temperatures and then the hole is sealed to prevent the thermal storage substance from leaking out. Acrylate resin copolymer is mixed with water and used as the low-temperature thermal storage substance. Further, a substance may also be added in the acrylate resin copolymer mixture for imparting freeze resistant properties thereto, and acting as an antiseptic.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-temperature keeping substance which is packed into a closed chamber formed between two rims of a cool mug to keep drinks held in the cool mug cold and comprises water, water absorptive polymer of acrylate resin polymer, stuffed into a chamber of a cool mug; wherein the water and water absorptive polymer are in the ratio of 13:1 (c.c.:g) mixed together as a low-temperature keeping substance which expands and becomes a semisolid one. CaCl can also be used as a freeze-resist substance and Sodium Benzoate used as a preservative and antiseptic so as to prevent the low-temperature keeping substance from being a sharp ice as well as increase the safety when a consumer uses it. Besides, the low-temperature keeping substance has various colors and makes the cool mug look colorful in an aesthetically pleasing manner and gives people a pleasant feeling.
