  • Patent number: 7957561
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for measuring quality of an image received via a communication network. The apparatus includes an interface unit, a codec unit, a test image detection unit, and a Mean Opinion Score (MOS) measurement unit. The interface unit receives an image, including a start synchronization image and a test image via a communication network. The codec unit decodes the received image into a color signal. The test image detection unit detects any one value of brightness, saturation and hue information of the color signal input from the codec unit, calculates an average value for each frame, and detects the test image from the received image based on the calculated average value. The MOS measurement unit synchronizes the test image with a corresponding reference image, compares the quality of the test image with the quality of the reference image, calculates an MOS value based on the results of the comparison, and outputs the MOS value.

  • Patent number: 7907597
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for seamlessly providing voice and data services to a user through an access terminal in a mobile communication system including a heterogeneous service & mobility gateway (HSMG) for an interworking service between a circuit network and a packet network, and various access networks overlapping each other. The access terminal notifies the HSMG that a voice call is received, if the access terminal that accessed a packet network receives a voice call. The HSMG sends a direction request to a circuit network upon receiving the notification indicating that the voice call is received. The access terminal directs to the circuit network and registers a new location upon receiving the direction request. The HSMG sets up an incoming voice call to the access terminal after the registration of a new location.

  • Publication number: 20100196350
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting the growth or metastasis of cholangiocarcinoiria, comprising a L1CAM activity inhibitor or expression suppressor and a treatment method using the composition. This is based on the finding that L1CAM is overexpressed on cholangiocarcinoma and plays an important role in the growth and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma and the mortality of cholangiocarcinoma patients increases as the expression rate of L1CAM increases. Also, antibodies inhibitory of the activity of L1CAM, or siRNAs suppressing the expression of L1CAM, are found to reduce the growth and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cells. Mouse monoclonal antibodies, recognizing the L1CAM protein on the cholangiocarcinoma cell surface and binding specifically to cholangiocarcinoma tissues, or siRNAs, antisense oligonucleotides or shRNAs, may be useful in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma by inhibiting the growth, invasion and migration of cholangiocarcinoma cell.
