  • Publication number: 20100191954
    Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for transmitting a message in a heterogeneous federated environment, and a method and apparatus for providing a service according to the message. In the method of transmitting a message to an external domain in the heterogeneous federated environment, a service server of a domain creates a transmission message to be transmitted to the external domain and supplies it to a protocol interpretation unit of the domain. The protocol interpretation unit detects protocol information of the external domain, interprets the created transmission message based on the detected protocol information, and supplies the interpreted transmission message to the service server. The service server then supplies the interpreted transmission message to the external domain. Accordingly, two service servers in different domains with different protocol information can exchange messages with each other while guaranteeing security.

  • Patent number: 7667202
    Abstract: Provided are a multilayer-structured bolometer and a method of fabricating the same. In the multilayer-structured bolometer, the number of support arms supporting the body of a sensor structure is reduced to one, and two electrodes are formed on the one support arm. Thus, the sensor structure is electrically connected with a substrate through the only one support arm. According to the multilayer-structured bolometer and method of fabricating the bolometer, the thermal conductivity of the sensor structure is considerably reduced to remarkably improve sensitivity to temperature, and also the pixel size of the bolometer is reduced to obtain high-resolution thermal images. In addition, the multilayer-structured bolometer can have a high fill-factor due to a sufficiently large infrared-absorbing layer, and thus can improve infrared absorbance.

  • Patent number: 7652989
    Abstract: In the adaptive connection admission control method of the present invention, a corresponding ingress edge node performs connection admission control for a new connection within the amount of bandwidth initially allocated to each of paths between the ingress and egress edge nodes. The amount of remaining bandwidth allocated to a specific path Pr is compared with an amount of bandwidth required for a call requesting new connection setup input to the corresponding ingress edge node. The amount of additional bandwidth to be requested from the bandwidth broker is predicted when the amount of the remaining bandwidth does not satisfy the amount of bandwidth required for the connection setup requesting call. The ingress edge node requests additional bandwidth from the bandwidth broker on the basis of the predicted amount of the additional bandwidth, changing bandwidth information of the corresponding path Pr, and performing connection admission control.

  • Patent number: 7583669
    Abstract: The present provides a method of dynamically managing multicast groups and allocating multicast service wavelengths for the highest channel efficiency. According to the present invention, the share indices of wavelengths of all multicast service groups, which employ broadcasting wavelengths and data wavelengths, are periodically ascertained on the basis of IGMP snooping-based technology in a WDM-PON. Based on the ascertainment results, if the channel share index of the group that employs the broadcasting wavelength is smaller than the channel share index of the group that employs the data wavelength, the share index of the wavelength of the multicast group that employs the broadcasting wavelength is maximized by dynamically changing allocation of the wavelength of the multicast group, so that a maximum multicast service can be provided within limited resources.

  • Publication number: 20090172265
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flash memory device having a secure flash file deletion function and a method for securely deleting a flash file. Data and object headers as actual contents of the flash file are separately stored in data blocks and header blocks. At this time, the data is encrypted and stored, and a decryption key is included in an object header and stored in a header block. When the flash file is deleted, the object header is deleted by searching the header block where the object header including the decryption key is stored. In order to search the header block, a binary tree structure is used in which a terminal node indicates an LSB of a file ID. Disclosed may be applied to an embedded system where a flash memory is used as a storage medium. In particular, disclosed is suitable for a NAND flash memory device.
