  • Patent number: 8909812
    Abstract: Provided are a method and a device of a host with IPv4 application for performing communication. The method of the host with IPv4 application for performing data communication includes the following steps: the IPv4 application generates an IPv4 packet sent to a communication end; when confirming the type of the network the host is located in is an IPv6 network, the host transforms the IPv4 packet head of the IPv4 packet to an IPv6 packet header, and sends it to the communication end via the IPv6 network. With this invention, it can be accomplished that according to the type of the network the host is located in, the host with IPv4 application communicates with a communication end; the processing load of the system is lightened; the probability that invalidation occurs at a single node is reduced; the smooth migration and transition from original IPv4 application to IPv6 system are facilitated.

  • Publication number: 20140354993
    Abstract: A localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing system with anisotropic particles is revealed. The anisotropy of nanoparticles spectrally splits the phase spectra of two perpendicular polarizations thus inducing a phase difference between the two polarizations. An apparatus of ellipsometry is used to measure the phase difference. The simulated results demonstrate that the full width at the half maximum of the spectrum of phase difference is much narrower than the spectrum of transmittance. Therefore the figure of merit is dramatically increased and the performance of the refractive index sensor is improved.

  • Publication number: 20140359085
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosed technology can configure access permissions for content shared via an online content management system. In one example, a first user of the online content management system can share his directory including files with other users (“recipients”). Upon agreeing to the content sharing from the first user, the recipients can reconstruct local representations of the shared directory and any included file (i.e., local representations of shared content). Access permissions associated with the recipients' local representations of the shared content can be configured to prevent unpermitted/unauthorized modifying or deleting of the local representations by the recipients. However, the first user can maintain read and write permissions, permitting him to make modifications or deletions to the shared content.

  • Publication number: 20140353712
    Abstract: Embodiments of a monolithically integrated optical resonator are disclosed. In one embodiment, the optical resonator is a nanopillar optical resonator that is formed directly on a substrate and promotes a helically-propagating cavity mode. The helically-propagating cavity mode results in significant reflection or, in some embodiments, total internal reflection at an interface of the nanopillar optical resonator and the substrate even if refractive indices of the nanopillar optical resonator and the substrate are the same or similar. As a result, strong optical feedback, and thus strong resonance, is provided in the nanopillar optical resonator.
