Abstract: A Protocol for carrying Authentication for Network Access (PANA) authentication system is provided. The system includes: a PANA client (PaC) which establishes, with a PANA authentication agent (PAA), a first PANA session and a second PANA session independent of the first PANA session, and transmits, to the PAA, a PANA update request packet requesting a binding of the first PANA session and the second PANA session; and a PAA which determines whether the first PANA session and the second PANA session are associated with an identical PaC in response to the PANA update request packet received from the PaC.
Abstract: In a Packet Switched Data Network (PSDN) having a Local Area Network (LAN) interface, an auxiliary controller controls all protocols of the LAN interface through an interrupt routine and transmits a state-monitoring signal after processing the protocols. A main controller compares a transmitting period of the state-monitoring signal transmitted from the auxiliary controller with a critical time and changes a state of the auxiliary controller from a usable state to an unusable state or from the unusable state to the usable state in accordance with a result of the comparison. As a result, even when traffic is congested in a certain LAN interface or a certain LAN interface is infected with a virus to such an extent that the interface fails to operate, an overload in a main processor is prevented.
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a mold for producing a light guide panel and a method of manufacturing the light guide panel using the mold are presented. The mold is made by manufacturing a pattern master on which a fine pattern is formed. A side mold for forming a light-receiving surface of a light guide panel is immersed in an electrolyte containing metal ions, along with the pattern master. A voltage is applied to the electrolyte and the side mold such that the fine pattern on the pattern master is transferred to the side mold with the metal ions in the electrolyte, forming a prism pattern forming portion on the side mold. The prism pattern is formed on a light-receiving portion of the light guide panel using the side mold thus prepared. The shape accuracy and surface accuracy of the prism pattern are improved by using the presented method.
