Abstract:
A time domain signal analysis method is provided. The signal analysis method includes the following steps. A signal to be analyzed is received. The signal to be analyzed is iteratively sifted by using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to extract at least one intrinsic function (IMF). A normalized Hilbert transform is performed on the IMF. The transformed IMF includes phase information. The transformed IMF is processed by means of phase processing to obtain the processed IMF including angular frequency information. The foregoing signal analysis method could be utilized in an ultrasound imaging system to identify image information of ultrasound images.
Abstract:
Two new TLR2 agonists, VP1 and VP3, which are structural proteins of FMDV. Residues of VP3 responsible for TLR2 activation are identified. In vivo experiments showed that VP3-4xM2e is active as a vaccine adjuvant.
Abstract:
A dicing process is provided for cutting a wafer along a plurality of predetermined scribe lines into a plurality of dies that are releasably adhered to a release film. The dicing process includes: (a) disposing a wafer-breaking carrier on a supporting device, the wafer-breaking carrier having a chipping unit; (b) disposing the wafer above the supporting device such that the chipping unit is at a position corresponding to the scribe lines; and (c) adhering a release surface of the release film to the wafer by applying a force to the release film to contact the chipping unit of the wafer-breaking carrier with the wafer, such that the wafer is split along the scribe lines into the dies.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of identifying microRNA motifs or microRNA precursors for a target gene or a set of target genes. Also disclosed are related computer-readable media.
Abstract:
A light source driving device for driving a plurality of light-emitting units includes a power supply unit and a feedback control unit. The power supply unit is electrically connected to the light-emitting units and outputs a driving signal for driving the light-emitting units. The feedback control unit is electrically connected to the power supply unit and between any two light-emitting units, and retrieves a feedback signal from the light-emitting units to generate a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal for controlling the light-emitting units.
Abstract:
A protection circuit is coupled between a secondary winding of a transformer and a load. When voltage at the secondary winding of the transformer becomes abnormal, the protection circuit disconnects the power connection to the load so as to protect the load from damage. When the voltage at the secondary winding of the transformer returns normal, the protection circuit restores power to the load.

Abstract:
An image processing method is provided. The image processing method includes the following steps. A plurality of raw signal is received by a signal transceiving module of the ultrasound imaging system. It is determined whether each of the raw signals satisfies any condition in a condition group, and the raw signal satisfying any condition in the condition group is mapped to one of a plurality of preset constants to generate a plurality of first data. The raw signals not satisfying any condition in the condition group are processed according to a calculation formula to generate a plurality of second data. A beamforming procedure is simultaneously performed on the first and second data to obtain a beamformed image. The beamformed image is transformed to obtain an image of a region to be detected. Furthermore, an imaging system using the foregoing image processing method is also provided.
