Mobile Head-up Display

Wearable displays such as smartglasses are heavy and performance-constrained due to weight restrictions. This disclosure describes a mobile head-up display (MHUD) comprising a lightweight component that sits on the user’s face that is connected to a smartphone or other device carried on the user’s person. Compute-intensive, heavy components are offloaded to and leverage the existing capabilities of the smartphone. Components that deliver a multimedia user experience, e.g., near-eye display, camera, sensors, headphones, etc. are located on the head-up display. The app-developer ecosystem of the smartphone is leveraged to provide MHUD apps at scale and competitive cost

Poly[(μ6-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxyl­ato-κ6 O 1:O 1′:O 3:O 3′:O 5:O 5′)tris­(N,N-dimethyl­formamide-κO)tris­(μ3-formato-κ2 O:O′)trimagnesium(II)]

The title complex, [Mg3(CHO2)3(C9H3O6)(C3H7NO)3]n, exhib­its a two-dimensional structure parallel to (001), which is built up from the MgII atoms and bridging carboxyl­ate ligands (3 symmetry). The MgII atom is six-coordinated by one O atom from a dimethyl­formamide mol­ecule, two O atoms from two μ6-benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxyl­ate ligands and three O atoms from three μ3-formate ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry

Binary Turbo Coding with Interblock Memory

[[abstract]]We investigate the performance of binary codes T constructed from turbo coding with interblock memory. The encoding of T is implemented by serially concatenating a multiplexer, a multilevel delay processor, and a signal mapper to the encoder of a conventional binary turbo code C. With such a construction, in T, there is some irregularity for the code bits in C. To provide more variety of irregularity, we can construct TC which is obtained by passing only a fraction of C through a multilevel delay processor and a signal mapper. We propose iterative decoding between adjacent codewords (IDAC), which provides error performance much better than the iterative decoding within a single codeword (IDSC). Simulation shows that T can have a lower error floor than C for either short or long code length. In some cases, TC can provide better error floors and waterfall regions than C.[[fileno]]2030133030003[[department]]電機工程學

Biological Activities and Applications of Dioscorins, the Major Tuber Storage Proteins of Yam

AbstractYam tubers, a common tuber crop and an important traditional Chinese medicine in Taiwan, have many bioactive substances, including phenolic compounds, mucilage polysaccharides, steroidal saponins and proteins. Among the total soluble proteins, 80% of them are dioscorins. In the past two decades, many studies showed that dioscorins exhibited biological activities both in vitro and in vivo, including the enzymatic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, immunomodulatory, lectin activities and the protecting role on airway epithelial cells against allergens in vitro. Some of these activities are survived after chemical, heating process or enzymatic digestion. Despite of lacking the intact structural information and the detail action mechanisms in the cells, yam dioscorins are potential resources for developing as functional foods and interesting targets for food protein researchers
