  • Publication number: 20150288653
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for collecting the radio frequency (RF) feature of a wireless device in a wireless communication apparatus are disclosed herein. The RF feature extraction unit adds a tag having a unique value to a received radio signal, and extracts RF feature information from the radio signal. The MAC information extraction unit extracts the source MAC address and tag information of a MAC protocol frame from the received radio signal, and then removes the added tag. The tag comparison unit selects an source MAC address and RF feature information, when the tags have the same value, from the RF feature information and tag information from the RF feature extraction unit and the source MAC address and tag information from the MAC information extraction unit. The RF feature storage unit stores the selected source MAC address and RF feature information.

  • Publication number: 20150288754
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a system that facilitates service discovery based on the synchronization of manifests between devices in a content centric network by using a synchronization protocol based on exact match names. During operation, a local receives an advertisement corresponding to a remote manifest of a remote device. A manifest represents a collection of service records, and the advertisement includes a service record corresponding to the remote device. The local device updates its local manifest, in response to determining that the local manifest and the remote manifest correspond to a same namespace, by inserting the advertised service record into the local manifest.

  • Patent number: 9150602
    Abstract: A precursor used for labeling hepatocyte receptors and applied to radiotracers for imaging or pharmaceutical compositions for liver cancers is revealed. The precursor is a bifunctional compound. The bifunctional group includes a trisaccharide structure and a diamide dimercaptide (N2S2) ligand. The trisaccharide has high affinity to asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR) on surfaces of hepatocytes while N2S2 ligand reacts with radioisotopes to form neutral complexes. Thus the precursor stays on surfaces of hepatocytes to provide radioisotope labeling or treatment effect of liver cancers.
