Imido and amido substituted alkanohydroxamic acids reduce the levels of TNF and inhibit phosphodiesterase in a mammal. The method comprises identifying at least one set of collinear elements in the scanned image; and generating a corrected image based on the scanned image including for at least some of the collinear elements in each set applying a spatial location correction to position all collinear elements in the set on a common horizontal rectilinear base line in the corrected image. In this method, after receiving a multimedia message, the MMSC decodes the multimedia message and determines whether the multimedia message is a mobile phone newspaper message; if it is, then the MMSC transmits the message body of the multimedia message to the mobile phone newspaper message processing module. A proportionate signal may be split off from each channel and taken to a photodetector to enable the gain of the associated SOAs to be adjusted to equalize or otherwise balance the signal levels. The base portion defines a plurality of protruding thorns on two opposite sides thereof rubbing against opposite inner surfaces of the locating cavity and the receiving recess for fixing the terminal in the housing.
