A joystick controller is disclosed for controlling movement of a boom lift platform, the controller having actuators or the like that provide one or more forms of tactile feedback that are intuitively interpreted and adjusted by the user of the joystick motion control, the joystick being neutrally-biased to effect a null movement when the joystick is positioned in a neutral position, but also being adapted with at least one form of tactile feedback by which the joystick controller conveys information about the boom lift's operation to the joystick operator, such as through resistive force or through vibrations or the like.

A method, system and mobile device for searching for and acquiring a desired application by using Near Field Communication (NFC) regardless of time and location are provided. In the method, the mobile device reads a keyword from an NFC tag of a target structure in response to a tagging event between the mobile device and the NFC tag. Then the mobile device performs an application search using the keyword, and downloads a specific application found using the keyword.

A system for coordinating business transactions between multiple vendors of consumer products, referred to herein as selling vendors and shipping vendors. This system includes an electronic device for allowing a consumer to access a selling vendor's website, at least one server connected to the selling vendor's website for receiving purchase-related information from the consumer and sending and receiving information to and from the system, at least one server connected to the shipping vendor's business network for receiving and sending communications from and to the system, and a transaction coordination hub connected to the selling vendor's server and the shipping vendor's server for coordinating transactions between the selling vendor and the shipping vendor. The transaction coordination hub further includes a catalog subcomponent for storing detailed vendor-related data and a transaction coordinator software subcomponent for coordinating transactions between the selling vendors and the shipping vendors.

Peripheral interface(s), a receiving apparatus and a data communication method using the same are disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a peripheral interface comprises one or more pins for multiplexing at least two types of interfaces, wherein the pins transmit interface signals corresponding to an interface type and type-associated operating mode which are selected from those multiplexed by the pins. According to another embodiment, a receiving apparatus comprises: a peripheral interface for multiplexing at least two types of interfaces; a receiving module for receiving an instruction signal; a selecting module for selecting an interface type and type-associated operating mode which corresponds to an external device to be connected, based on the instruction signal; a controlling module for controlling the peripheral interface to communicate with the external device via at least one interface signal corresponding to the selected interface type and type-associated operating mode.

The present invention provides a backlight module and a display apparatus. The backlight module comprises a light guide plate, a base, a first light emitting diode and a second light emitting diode. The base is disposed at one side of the light guide plate. The first light emitting diode is disposed on a first arrangement surface of the base. The second light emitting diode is disposed on the second arrangement surface of the base. The distance between the first light emitting diode and the bottom surface is longer than the distance between the second light emitting diode and the bottom surface. The present invention can improve color shifting defect and coupling effect of the light emitting diodes.

A system for improving medical device management for a patient is also provided. The system can include a portable wireless device having an ECU, memory and an interactive remote patient monitoring module (IRPMM) for at least one medical device. The IRPMM has a medical device data request module that is operable to request and receive medical device data input from the at least one medical device. The medical device data can be input by the patient, or in the alternative, be automatically received without input from the patient. The IRPMM also has a medical device data supply module receives medical device information from an outside third party and provides the medical device information to the patient.

The invention belongs to the field of Chinese medicine, in particular relates to a Chinese medicinal composition for treating burn and scald and the application thereof, and solves the problems that the cure rate of the burn and the scald is improved, the healing time of the wound surface is shortened and scars on the wound surface of burn and scald are reduced. The invention provides the Chinese medicinal composition for treating the burn and the scald, which is prepared from phellodendron amurense, milkvetch root and elm bark, and has the efficacies of clearing away heat and toxic material, reducing swelling and alleviating pain, inhibiting and eliminating bacteria, reducing seepage of body liquid, removing necrosis and promoting granulation, improving the local blood supply and promoting the wound healing. The Chinese medicinal composition has high cure rate and short healing time, almost has no scar in treating the burn and scald, and can be used for treating decubitus.

A card reader includes a housing, an interior of which is defined with plural holding slots accommodating interface units respectively. The interface units are connected respectively with control units which are primarily a single chip. The interface units are storage devices, such as MS, CF, SD, XD, USB, microSD or M2. The housing is further provided with a cover board on which are disposed with perforations at locations corresponding to the interface units. When a user is to replace, update or repair the card reader, he or she can take down the cover board and then perform a respective operation to the interface unit to be replaced, updated or repaired independently, without removing other interface units together. Therefore, time and labor works can be reduced, expandability is high, and an unnecessary cost spent can be saved.

The electroplating equipment disposes a hollow first ring between a first mold and a through hole of a workpiece, and a hollow second ring between a second mold and the through hole of the workpiece, such that the first ring and the second ring provide substantially equivalent channel as the openings of the through hole when the first mold and the second mold are set to hold tight the workpiece. The first ring and the second ring, along with an injection channel of the first mold and a recycling channel of the second mold and the through hole of the workpiece, form a seamless flow channel for an electroplating fluid to flow and be electroplated on the wall of the through hole.

A bacterial strain of Rhodococcus biphenylivorans named Palladio 22 and registered at the BCCM-LMG Bacteria Collection under registration number LMG P-29520. A method is provided for the production of acrylamide following hydration of acrylonitrile using a biomass of the bacterial strain.

The invention refers to a method for in vitro diagnosis of a severe infection comprising determining delta-like ligand 1 protein or a nucleotide sequence coding for delta-like ligand 1 protein in a biological sample wherein an elevated level of expression of delta-like ligand 1 protein or a nucleotide sequence coding for delta-like ligand 1 protein is indicative of a severe infection; and the use of delta-like ligand 1 protein as a biomarker for in vitro diagnosis of a severe infection such as sepsis.
