Cancer is characterized primarily by an increase in the number of abnormal cells derived from a given normal tissue, invasion of adjacent tissues by these abnormal cells, or lymphatic or blood-borne spread of malignant cells to regional lymph nodes and metastasis. Clinical data and molecular biologic studies indicate that cancer is a multistep process that begins with minor preneoplastic changes, which may under certain conditions progress to neoplasia. The neoplastic lesion may evolve clonally and develop an increasing capacity for invasion, growth, metastasis, and heterogeneity, especially under conditions in which the neoplastic cells escape the host's immune surveillance. Current cancer therapy may involve surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and/or radiation treatment to eradicate neoplastic cells in a patient. Recent advances in cancer therapeutics are discussed by Rajkumar et al. in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology 11, 628-630 (2014).
All of the current cancer therapy approaches pose significant drawbacks for the patient. Surgery, for example, may be contraindicated due to the health of a patient or may be unacceptable to the patient. Additionally, surgery may not completely remove neoplastic tissue. Radiation therapy is only effective when the neoplastic tissue exhibits a higher sensitivity to radiation than normal tissue. Radiation therapy can also often elicit serious side effects. Hormonal therapy is rarely given as a single agent. Although hormonal therapy can be effective, it is often used to prevent or delay recurrence of cancer after other treatments have removed the majority of cancer cells.
Despite availability of a variety of chemotherapeutic agents, chemotherapy has many drawbacks. Almost all chemotherapeutic agents are toxic, and chemotherapy causes significant, and often dangerous side effects including severe nausea, bone marrow depression, and immunosuppression. Additionally, even with administration of combinations of chemotherapeutic agents, many tumor cells are resistant or develop resistance to the chemotherapeutic agents. In fact, those cells resistant to the particular chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment protocol often prove to be resistant to other drugs, even if those agents act by different mechanism from those of the drugs used in the specific treatment. This phenomenon is referred to as pleiotropic drug or multidrug resistance. Because of the drug resistance, many cancers prove or become refractory to standard chemotherapeutic treatment protocols.
Hematological malignancies are cancers that begin in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow, or in the cells of the immune system. Examples of hematological malignancies are leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. More specific examples of hematological malignancies include but are not limited to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), multiple myeloma (MM), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), T-cell lymphoma (TCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

Compression encoding means a series of signal processing techniques for transmitting digitized information through a communication line or storing information in a form suitable for a storage medium. Media including a video, an image, an audio, etc. may be a target for compression encoding. In particular, a technique for performing compression encoding on an image is referred to as image compression.
Next generation image content will have characteristics of high spatial resolution, a high frame rate and high dimensionality of a scene representation. In order to process such content, a drastic increase in memory storage, a memory access rate and processing power will result.
Therefore, there is a need to design a coding tool for processing next generation video contents more efficiently. In particular, after a high efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard, a video codec standard requires a prediction technology having higher accuracy.

A new cultivar of hybrid Salvia, ‘Red Swing’, that is characterized by its compact, shrubby plant habit, its curly leaves, and its fragrant red flowers with purple-black calyces on dark colored flowering stems.

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Salvia of hybrid origin and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, 'Red Swing'. 'Red Swing' is an herbaceous perennial grown for landscape use.
The new Salvia resulted from a controlled breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Henansal, France. The Inventor made crosses in 2008 between unnamed proprietary plants of interspecific hybrid origin (Salvia chamaedryoides×Salvia lycoides) in the Inventor's breeding program as both the female and male parents. The characteristics of the parents are unknown as seeds where pooled and sown from several crosses. 'Red Swing' was selected as a single unique plant in 2008 from the resulting seedlings of the above crosses.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the Inventor by vegetative stem cuttings in 2009 in Henansal, France. Asexual propagation by vegetative stem cuttings has determined that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.

Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a circuit board and a method of manufacturing the same. In particular, the present invention relates to a circuit board capable of reducing missing solder of an electronic component during through hole standard package and a method of manufacturing the same.
Description of Related Art
With multitasking and miniaturization of electronic products today, sizes of circuit boards in electronic products may be relatively reduced. An electronic component with fine pitch is usually used for disposing on the circuit board having limited space, but such method may increase difficulties in its manufacturing process. For instance, during a process of surface mount technology (SMT) for a circuit board, various electronic components with different types and pitches are usually disposed on the same circuit board, thus it is difficult to control an amount of a solder (e.g., solder paste) to be printed.
Generally, a steel plate is used while printing the solder in manufacturing process of the circuit board, and a thickness of the steel plate may affect the amount of the solder to be printed. Therefore, the thickness is selectively changed during the process of surface mount according to the pitches of the electronic components. To solve a shortage problem caused by fine pitch, the steel plate cannot be too thick. However, for electronic components adopting through hole standard package technology such as dual inline package (DIP), a missing solder due to insufficient amount of the solder may occur after reflow.

A coupling for a door/curtain includes a plurality of coupling mechanisms affixed to ends of slats of the door/curtain. Each coupling mechanism includes a roller mounting bracket having a first roller arranged at an upper portion of the roller mounting bracket, and an extending portion, oriented at approximately 90 degrees with respect to the upper portion of the roller mounting bracket; and at least one second roller. Each second roller is rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the first roller. The first roller and the at least one second roller are arranged so as to cooperate with an outer track, inner track, roller support guide and first and second roller guides of a guide rail assembly to ensure that the door/curtain moves rollingly within the guide rail assembly even when the door/curtain is subjected to a deflecting force.

Existing drive systems for rolling curtains/doors employ rollers on the door edges which engage surfaces of a track in a door guide positioned on a pair of opposite sides of a door opening. The door (curtain) may be a vertical door, which is deployed from top to bottom across a door opening; a side-coiling curtain, which is deployed sideways from left-to-right (or right-to-left) across the door opening; or a horizontal curtain, which is deployed across a horizontal opening such as, for example, a floor opening containing an escalator.
In such doors, the rollers provide a rolling engagement along the guide tracks. The door (curtain) itself is typically comprised of interlocking, loosely-fitted slats, which are locked together at their ends to maintain the slats in alignment with each other.
A problem can arise with any door traversing a significant space in that, in a high wind or other load condition, such as during a storm, a wind force against the door can create a bowed condition at an unsupported portion of the door slats, which bowing has the effect of creating an unwanted locking condition between the rollers and a surface of the tracks. Such condition can have the effect of prohibiting or restricting rolling movement of the door, depending on the wind load.
Even during regular load conditions, some movement or "play" exists between the rollers and the guide track such that the front faces of the rollers will contact the edges of the guide tracks and cause friction there-between. This condition limits the closing and opening speeds of the door.
Typically, for horizontal and side-coiling curtains, (and in instances where vertical curtains require constant operating speed), a pusher, in particular, a cog, is used to move the curtain between the opened and closed positions. In conventional systems, this is typically accomplished by positioning the cog for engagement with surfaces of the door slats to deploy and retract the curtain with respect to a coil that holds the undeployed portion of the curtain. In systems that use direct engagement of the pusher cog with the slats, wear on the slat surfaces is created and unwanted noise generated due to the striking of the cog with the slats as the curtain is moved between its opened and closed positions. To account for the wear to the slats, the metal gauge used to manufacture the slats need to be of a sufficient thickness. This adds to the cost and weight of the curtain.

The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus.
2. Description of the Related Art
Conventionally, image forming apparatuses such as copying machines temporarily store entire image data for image formation in a memory and then perform image formation using the stored image data. In this case, in order to realize a function of processing data on plural pages of a document (sorting function, for example), storage capacity for the plural pages is necessary. However, in image forming apparatuses with small storage capacity, the number of pages allowed for accumulation is limited, so that an image forming process may be aborted due to an excess of data while the document is being read. Thus, a function such as the sorting function is not effectively realized. In other words, even when the document is read, a request from a user may not be satisfied after all (sorting is not supported for all the pages of the document, for example).
In view of this, conventionally, various types of inventions have been made so as to efficiently use the small storage capacity of the image forming apparatuses
Patent Document 1 discloses a technology of an image forming apparatus in which operating efficiency is improved using a memory for compression and a page memory. When a document is read, data compressed with a predetermined compression ratio is stored in the memory for compression and uncompressed data is stored in the page memory. Patent Document 1 is intended to improve the operating efficiency by compressing data again with a higher compression ratio and storing the compressed data in the memory for compression again without returning the read document when available capacity of the memory for compression becomes not more than a predetermined value (hereafter referred to as full memory).    Patent Document 1: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2003-152955
However, in low-priced apparatuses, it is impossible to employ plural memories as disclosed in Patent Document 1: Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2003-152955 and it is impossible to prevent a reduction of operating efficiency resulting from the full memory.

A semiconductor module including a module body and a shock absorbing member on an exposed surface of the module body is provided. The module body may include at least one semiconductor package on a substrate and the exposed surface of the module body may include exposed surfaces of the substrate and the at least one semiconductor package. In accordance with example embodiments, the module body may also include a heat transfer member on the at least one semiconductor package and an exposed surface of the module body may include an exposed surface of the heat transfer member.

1. Field
Example embodiments relate to a semiconductor module, and more particularly, to a semiconductor module which may reduce solder joint crack (SJC) defects due to a shock received during the manufacture or use thereof. The semiconductor module may be used in a semiconductor memory module formed of a ball grid array (BGA) package.
2. Description of the Related Art
In general, a plurality of semiconductor chips may be formed on a wafer in a semiconductor manufacturing process. The semiconductor chips may be separated from the wafer in a sawing process and manufactured into a semiconductor package in a packaging process. The semiconductor package may be mounted on a circuit substrate having a circuit pattern and manufactured into a semiconductor module.
A BGA package structure, in which a solder ball instead of a lead frame, is installed on a surface of a semiconductor package, is widely used for its high capacity, high integration, and high speed. Because the capacity, integration, and speed of the semiconductor package increase, generation of heat increases so that a heat transfer member, for example, a heat sink, is employed in the semiconductor package to solve the heat generation problem.
The additional installation of the heat transfer member may increase the weight per unit product of the semiconductor package. Due to the solder ball's relatively low resistance to shock, a conventional semiconductor module may be prone to damage in the event the module is dropped due to the user's careless handling. The module is also prone to damage due to shocks generated during the manufacture or use thereof. Furthermore, because the space for installation of the semiconductor module decreases, there are limits in installing separate protection apparatuses to protect the semiconductor module.


A Technique for Efficient Message Delivery in Ad Hoc, Mesh, Wireless Computer Networks. The method and system of the present invention permits reliable wireless messaging between nodes on an ad hoc basis. The method is executed at each node in an iterative fashion, If a node is not the destination node for a particular message, that node will retransmit a received message. As the message is received and retransmitted from node to node, the message will propagate through the networked nodes until it reaches its destination node. In order to prevent the retransmission of messages into perpetuity, the method will limit the number of times that a particular node can retransmit a particular message. Once that retransmission limit is reached by a particular node for a particular message, the message retransmission will cease at that node, and the message will expire. The message will also expire after a pre-set time to live parameter has elapsed.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to wireless communications methods and systems and, more specifically, to a Technique for Efficient Message Delivery in Ad Hoc, Mesh, Wireless Computer Networks.
2. Description of Related Art
Modern computer networks facilitate data transmission between multiple devices. Each device in the network receives every data transmission and then retransmits if the data is not intended for it. This ensures that the message will reach its intended recipient if possible. To prevent potential infinite message transmission loops, current computer networks employ a variety of tactics to make sure that data transactions ultimately expire (instead of being re-transmitted into perpetuity). One popular method is to use a "hop count" to determine the maximum number of nodes that the message can be relayed through. Under the conventional "hop count" approach, each transmission carries with it a TTL field that is decremented by each node it encounters. When the TTL field is zero, the message is no longer retransmitted (i.e. the message expires).
The "hop count" approach is adequate for linear or tree topologies, where the route has a natural endpoint, but it is very inefficient for mesh networks because for large hop counts the message will continue to be echoed throughout the network long after the message has been received by its intended recipient.
A second method commonly employed to prevent circular message loops is the "route table" approach., which can be accomplished in one of two ways. First, a central master device can keep a list of possible routes to each destination. In a second version, the network is pre-staged or initialized so that each node is expected to know its closest neighbor nodes.
Both "route table" methods are poor choices for ad hoc networks where devices can come and go or move around as they please. If a vital link in the network leaves the network (as is common in ad hoc, mesh topologies), then the route table is no longer valid and messages will not receive their intended recipient.
Current standard lower level networking protocols and techniques perform well in situations where the topology is tightly controlled or a central master server has complete control and knowledge of routing. However, these techniques fail or are wasteful when faced with network that both (1) have no set topology (mesh) and (2) allow devices to come and go as they please. Rings in the topology can create message loopbacks that propagate the message far after it's been received and missing critical path nodes can prevent messages from reaching their destination in systems where the route is known a priori. A modern transaction routing technique should be able to accommodate dynamic network devices and random topologies.
What is needed is a method to efficiently route messages in an ad hoc, mesh network that (1) ensures delivery of the message while (2) preventing recurring route loops. The method and system of the present invention puts forth such a method.
This invention seeks to provide a transaction routing technique that will enable modern wireless, ad hoc, mesh networks to meet these requirements. Broadcast messages ensure that every node in the network, regardless of the topology, receives the message while each node's message cache table permits the message to be transmitted only once through the system. Furthermore, because the message is not stored permanently at each node in the mesh network, the entire invention lends itself to low resource implementations.

Technique for efficient message delivery in Ad Hoc, mesh, wireless computer networks


An optoelectronic component for receiving light. A housing including an axially extending cavity is arranged to receive an incoming beam. At least one adjustable arrangement includes at least one lens and a first adjustment module configured to adjust a focal point of the lens relative to an end surface of an optical fiber connectable to the housing. A first body is arranged to influence a position of the lens. A second body contacting the first body is journalled in the housing. The first adjustment module is arranged to act on the first body to rotate the first body spherically around a distant point and to alter the position of the lens, in order to locate a focal point of the lens on an end surface of the optical fiber.

It is often necessary to align an optical fiber with another optical fiber, using for instance an optoelectronic device such as a fiber coupler, or a switch. This can involve either carefully aligning the fiber and placing it in contact with the device, or using a lens to allow coupling and alignment over an air gap.
In a laboratory environment, light is coupled into the bare fiber end using a fiber launch system, which uses an objective lens to focus the light down to a fine point. A precision translation stage (micro-positioning table) is used to move the lens, fiber, or device to allow the coupling efficiency to be optimized. However, this arrangement is not suitable for practical use with high power lasers.
Fibers with a connector on the end make the process much simpler: The connector is simply plugged into a pre-aligned fiberoptic collimator, which contains a lens that is either accurately positioned with respect to the fiber, or is adjustable. To achieve the best injection efficiency into the optical fiber, the position and size of the spot and divergence of the beam must all be optimized. With suitable beams, well over 95% coupling efficiency can be achieved.
A problem with devices comprising an adjustable lens is that the accurate positioning required will also require a correspondingly accurate adjustment mechanism. For position control in more than one direction, multiple linear stages may be used together. A "two-axis" or "X-Y" stage can be assembled from two linear stages, one mounted to the platform of the other such that the axis of motion of the second stage is perpendicular to that of the first. A "three-axis" or "X-Y-Z" stage is composed of three linear stages mounted to each other such that the axes of motion of all stages are orthogonal. Some two-axis and three-axis stages are integrated designs rather than being assembled from separate single-axis stages.
An example of a fiber mounting system is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,351,330, wherein a lens assembly is supported by a lens holder. The lens holder is positioned by causing deformation to a set of connectors. A problem with this solution is that the deformation is permanent, making re-positioning impossible. Even if a re-positioning would be attempted, any subsequent deformation would weaken the connectors. Also, as the positioning requires deformation of the connectors, rapid or repeatable re-positioning is not possible.
US2003/123808 discloses a similar fiber mounting system in which symmetrical springs are used about a collar in a gimbal system to capture an assembly comprising a ball and an optical or other type of component. Once captured within the mounting system, the ball/component assembly can pivot until an optimal alignment is reached. Once the optimal alignment is reached, the ball/component assembly is fixed using laser welding. A problem with this solution is that the positioning is permanent, making re-positioning impossible.
Depending upon launch conditions and laser power, a misalignment of as little as a few micrometers can cause transmission losses of several hundred Watts in a high-power industrial laser system.
The necessity of having a two- or three-axis adjustment system results in a complicated mechanical design to allow this micrometer precision, however the complexity of the mechanical parts can result in a device that is sensitive to thermal changes or gradients in the system which are commonplace when dealing with high-power industrial lasers.
Hence, there is a need for an improved adjustable device that can be repeatedly re-positioned, rapidly and with high accuracy, but is less complicated and comprises fewer adjustable parts than current solutions.


A mechanical counting device for actuating a plurality of output devices, the device comprising: linear indexing means adapted to count a plurality of actuating signals and to cause actuation of the output devices when a predetermined number of actuating signals for each output device has been received, wherein the mechanical counting device is adapted to cause actuation of a particular device when a different predetermined number of actuating signals has been received such that the output devices are sequentially actuable.

There are many situations in which downhole tools must be selectively actuated. However, communicating with the tools to cause actuation can be difficult in the downhole environment. Systems such as RFID systems exist but these are complex, expensive and prone to failure. Indeed, any form of electrical, electronic or magnetic device is often not robust enough to withstand the harsh downhole environment.
During hydraulic fracturing of a multiple zone well, a series of tools, or clusters of tools, are provided at each zone, and each downhole tool needs to be actuated and fluid is diverted to flow outwards to fracture the well. The actuation must be performed in a sequential manner to allow the borehole to be progressively fractured along the length of the bore, without leaking fracture fluid out through previously fractured regions.
Due to the expense and frequent failure of electronic or electrical devices, the most common approach to tool actuation is still fully mechanical. Balls of ever increasing size are dropped down a tubular positioned within the well bore. The tools are configured so that the first dropped ball, which has the smallest diameter, passes though the first and intermediate tools, which have a ball seat (hereinafter referred to as a valve seat) larger than the ball, until it reaches the furthest away tool in the well. This furthest away tool is configured to have a valve seat smaller than the first dropped ball so that the ball seats at the tool to block the main passage and cause transverse ports to open thus diverting the fluid flow. Subsequently dropped balls are of increasing size so that they too pass through the nearest tools but seat at further away tools which have a suitably sized valve seat. This is continued until all the tools have been actuated in the order of furthest away to nearest.
Therefore, this approach does not involve counting the dropped balls. Balls which are too small for a particular tool are simply not registered. However, this approach has a number of disadvantages. The number of tools with varying valve seats that can be used is limited in practice because there must be a significant difference in the size of the seat (and therefore the ball) so that the ball does not inadvertently actuate previous tools. Also, the valve seats act as restrictions to flow within the tubular which are always undesirable. The smaller the seat the greater the restriction.
It is desirable to provide an apparatus which allows: actuation of a large number of downhole tools; and/or downhole tools with the same size of valve seat; and/or valve seats with the largest possible diameter.


A method and system for processing an account for a transaction between a merchant and a customer. The transaction provided goods and/or services by the merchant to the customer for which the merchant is owed a total payment by the customer to settle the account. The account is divided into N subaccounts. The total payment is divided into N subaccount payments respectively associated with the N subaccounts. N is at least 2. N payers responsible for making the N subaccount payments to settle the N subaccounts are notified of the N subaccounts, respectively. The N subaccounts are made available to the N payers. The N subaccount payments are received from N payment providers using N payment instruments for settling the N subaccounts, respectively. The N payment providers and the N payment instruments were previously identified by the N payers. The total payment is paid to the merchant.

Merchants present people with bills or accounts that often comprise multiple charges and transactions. Examples include hotel bills, restaurant bills, telephone bills, credit card bills and car hire bills. While the person who receives the account (i.e., the account receiver) is responsible for paying the bill, the account receiver may wish to recover part of the cost of paying the bill from one or more third parties (third party payer). For example, where several people share accommodation and there is a fixed telephone line, the account receiver will typically settle the account with the phone company and at the same time attempt to recover some of the charges from third party payers, said third party payers being others sharing the accommodation and using the phone. All parties would typically pay a percentage of the line rental charge and be responsible for payment of the itemized calls they have made.
For the account receiver, several issues exist. For example, the account receiver may not receive immediate payment from third party payers for some time after the account is due, resulting in the account receiver making payment out of pocket. As another example, the account receiver may also consume time making repeated attempts to have the third party payer make payment. As yet another example, there is also the problem of multiple, possibly incompatible payment instruments available to the third party payers.
Thus, there is a need for a method and system that alleviates at least one of the aforementioned current difficulties in processing accounts.
