Abstract: A vacuum battery structural assembly and a vacuum multi-cell battery module composed thereof are provided and include a first repeating unit including a first frame plate and a second frame plate with respect to the first frame plate; and an electrolyte channel defined within the first frame plate and the second frame plate to accommodate a liquid electrolyte, wherein both a surface of the first frame plate and a surface of the second frame plate include a vacuum suction area, the vacuum suction area includes a vacuum aperture and a vacuum channel, wherein the vacuum aperture is formed on at least one surface of the first frame plate and the second frame plate, the vacuum channel is positioned inside the first frame plate and the second frame plate, and is configured to generate a longitudinal pressing suction force and seal the first frame plate and the second frame plate.

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 method provides efficient data transmission between an input-output card with an add-on memory card and a host system. The input-output card carrying an inserted memory card is connected with the host system to improve the mechanical strength of the arrangement. An input-output controller on the input-output card controls a switch that switches between data buses. The memory card and the input-output card optionally share all data buses of the input-output card to transmit data with the host system, directly transmit data between each other, or respectively use a portion of them to achieve a better transmitting efficiency.
