Abstract: A telematics apparatus for providing driving assistance, and a system and a method are provided. The telematics apparatus receives position information indicating a current position of the telematics apparatus. The telematics apparatus transmits a request signal to the server. According to the request signal, the server obtains the position information, time information indicating a current time of the telematics apparatus, and identification information identifying a user of the telematics apparatus. The telematics apparatus displays driving assistance information received from the server which generates the driving assistance information according to the identification information, the position information, and the time information by searching through a route usage history of a plurality of routes and referring to a plurality of reference values of the routes. The reference value of each route indicates the telematics apparatus user's familiarity with that route.

Abstract: Nuclear receptor LXR is an important member of 49 nuclear receptors in human bodies and has irreplaceable regulatory effects on cholesterol and fat metabolisms. The regulation of the biological activity of LXR may have therapeutic effects to the conditions such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular obstructions, non-insulin dependent hyperglycemia, immune function disorders, and central nerve functional degeneration. We have developed a group of novel Chinese materia medica preparations targeting nuclear receptor LXR by using a computer-simulated docking technology and a process for determining biological activities of human cells cultured ex vivo. The group of preparations are featured by simple ingredients, low costs, easy to prepare, etc. No significant adverse effects were found in initial acute toxicology analysis which was carried out using mice.

A common signal is suitable for being applied to the second signal line. The third signal line is disposed between the first signal line and the second signal line. A reference signal is suitable for being applied to the third signal line. The data signal, the common signal, and the reference signal are different signals.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of timing control for a display panel, the method comprises steps of employing a timing corrector to set a value of timing diversity; and using the timing corrector to modify the gate timing signals with identical timing to act as odd gate timing signals and even gate timing signals, and transferring the odd gate timing signals and the even gate timing signals to odd gate lines and even gate lines respectively, thereby activating the charging process, wherein the charging timing of the odd gate lines based on the odd gate timing signals is longer than the charging timing of even gate lines based on the even gate timing signals. Accordingly, the problem caused by vertical lines of the display panel can be solved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of expressing an immunotoxin in Pichia pastoris strain mutated to toxin resistance comprising a) growing the Pichia pastoris in a growth medium comprising an enzymatic digest of protein and yeast extract and maintaining a dissolved oxygen concentration at 40% and above; and b) performing methanol induction with a limited methanol feed of 0.5-0.75 ml/min/IO L of initial volume during induction along with a continuous infusion of yeast extract at a temperature below 17.5° C., antifoaming agent supplied up to 0.07%, agitation reduced to 400 RPM, and the induction phase extended out to 163 h.

Abstract: A method for driving a tri-gate TFT-LCD includes providing a polarity converting common voltage. When polarity of the common voltage is converted, a first gate line is turned on for a source line to charge a first sub-pixel for a first write in duration. When the first gate line is turned off, a second gate line is turned on for the source line to charge a second sub-pixel for a second write in duration. When the second gate line is turned off, a third gate line is turned on for the source line to charge a third sub-pixel for the second write in duration. By adjusting the first write in duration the first sub-pixel can be fully charged, consequently improving the color deviation of the displayed image.

Abstract: A beauty/medication patch including a substrate, an outer layer, and a medication lotion; the outer layer being made of a degradable material being disposed on the substrate; one or a plurality of micro-probe array being disposed on a surface of the outer layer; the medication lotion being coated between the substrate and the outer layer, and/or admixed in the substrate; the patch being attached to a human skin, the micro-probe array piercing through a stratum corneum layer of the human skin and naturally being degraded by human skin or absorbed and metabolized by a human body; and the medication lotion penetrating into the skin and being absorbed by the human skin.

Abstract: The invention discloses a shell for portable electronic devices which includes a main body and an opaque ink layer. The main body is made of translucent material and includes an outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface. The opaque ink layer is coated on the inner surface of the main body except for a design area on the inner surface of the main body. Through masking, the design area may incorporate any desired decorative pattern such as a logo, a call id pattern, a message prompt pattern, a charging pattern or some other design. The design area is an area surrounded by the opaque ink layer and the inner surface is exposed through the design area. The invention also discloses a method for making the shell.

Abstract: A report generating and viewing method (10) for generating and viewing reports (72) over the internet (16). A request from a browser (14) is sent to a server (12) whereupon a generate reports program (38) in a server (12) creates an intermediate file (44) containing all the necessary data and metadata. When a request from the browser (14) to view the report (72) is sent, a view reports program (60) in the server (12) parses the intermediate file (44) and sends a menu (66) to the browser (14). The user then selects a report from the menu (66) and the server (12) sends the report (72) to the browser (14).

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for expanding and collapsing a tree view from a web interface by using HTML to build the visual representation of the web server's information structure, which has the capability to preserve previous tree expansion states in the stateless web HTML environment. In a method according to the present invention, a request comes in from a client browser which contains a universal resource locator (URL). The web server passes the URL to the tree HTML page generation engine to generate the collapsible/expandable tree. The tree HTML page generation engine server will call the corresponding query modules according to the information passed in from the URL. A linked list is generated according to the results returned from one of the query modules. The linked list is then passed into the tree HTML page generation engine. The tree HTML page generation engine generates the HTML page containing nodes.

Abstract: A container of the kind used for supplying water and/or nutrients directly into the soil adjacent the plant comprises a bottle for holding the supply of water and a cap structure which encloses one end of the bottle. The cap structure is effective to both support the bottle upright on the soil adjacent the plant and to transfer liquid downwardly from the bottle into the soil. The cap structure includes a spike which extends from an outer, flat surface of the cap so that the spike structure can be inserted into the soil until the outer, flat surface of the cap is engaged with the upper surface of the soil. The spike and the flat surface of the cap thus hold the bottle in a stable, upright position. A wick extends through an opening in the cap. The wick has an inner end immersed in the liquid within the bottle and has an outer end which is inserted into the soil.
