A touch pad device, constructed in an electronic apparatus, includes a touch module further having a touch pad and an FPCB and a plurality of metal domes located under the FPCB. The FPCB located under the touch pad further has a plurality of holes and a plurality of sensor elements, in which the holes are dispersed amid the sensor elements. Each of the metal domes represents a function key. By providing the plural holes surrounding the sensor elements, flexibility of the touch pad device can be enhanced and over deflection upon the touch module can be avoided, while pressing the function key.

A yttria sintered body contains an amount of silicon carbide within a range of 5 to 40% by volume, has a volume resistivity at room temperature within a range of 1×10¹ to 1×10¹⁷Ω·cm, and is adapted for application to an electrostatic chuck.

A method and apparatus for write protection of rewritable compact disks and digital video disks. A Power Calibration Area is covered to prevent the drive laser from completing a calibration procedure. In one embodiment, the disk has an indented area formed around the central hole in the disk. A ring shaped plug is inserted into the indented area, with an extended surface that covers the calibration area. In an alternative embodiment, an adhesive label, ink, dye or paint is used. In still another alternative embodiment, the calibration area is mechanically abraded to provide permanent write protection. Finally, the laser in the drive may be used to darken, damage or destroy the calibration area or a transparent label over the calibration area, for permanent write protection.

A hybrid mushroom culture of Agaricus bisporus, designated as strain B14528, includes a representative culture of the strain, which has been deposited under NRRL Accession No. 50900. A method of producing a hybrid mushroom culture of Agaricus bisporus comprising: mating a homokaryotic line J12998-s39 with a homokaryotic line BW-s191. Additionally, mushrooms, parts of the culture and products incorporating the culture are provided.

The present invention relates to the use of a catheter system for avoiding air embolisms in intracranial interventions and to the catheter system itself; the latter has a first and a second catheter main body, each with a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end. The catheter main bodies have several lumens and lumen openings and in each case an expandable structure for blocking the bloodstream in blood vessels.

An electromagnetic vibration device includes a vibrating plate, a suspending frame, upper and lower basin frames, a voice coil, and a magnetic loop system. Multiple voice coil fixing slots are uniformly distributed on the circumference of the vibrating plate corresponding to the inserting pieces of the voice coil, and the inserting pieces are passed through the voice coil fixing slots of the vibrating plate and fixed to the vibrating plate. One end of the lead of the voice coil is embedded in a groove on back of the vibrating plate and connected to the terminal of the lower basin frame.

An audio signal transmission system includes a first device and a second device. The first device transmits audio signals to the second device for the second device to receive and process. After converting a piece of information read by the first device into digital data, the first device arranges the digital data to acquire a matrix, performs error control coding algorithm to rearrange and code continuous data in the matrix to generate a byte sequence, and modulates the byte sequence to generate a set of audio signals for transmission. The second device receives and modulates the set of audio signals to acquire the byte sequence, and performs an error control decoding algorithm to correctly acquire the piece of information. Accordingly, data accuracy through the audio signal transmission can be ensured, and the issue of massive uncorrectable continuous data upon audio signal transmission over the air can be tackled.

In order to solve problems of low accuracy, high computation complexity and low assigning success rate of a topological graph existing on a large scale for device assigning, the present invention proposes methods and apparatuses for automatic assigning of devices. According to an aspect of the present invention, by comparing measured distance-related information between each target device and reference devices, and assumed distance-related information between reference devices and target devices corresponding to assigning nodes, and then selecting the target device with smallest difference to correspond to the assigning nodes, the assigning accuracy of devices is largely improved; according to another aspect of the present invention, based on multiple reference devices, by determining multiple target devices at multiple assigning nodes simultaneously with a large safety margin, assigning complexity is decreased; according to yet another aspect of the present invention, by dividing a large topological graph into blocks and assigning and verifying sub-topology blocks, the assigning accuracy of sub-topology blocks is improved, and error dispersion is avoided, so that the whole assigning success rate of the topological graph is increased.
