Abstract: Queue processing method and apparatus in a network system are provided. The queue processing method in a network system includes when a packet is input to a buffer, checking whether the buffer belongs to the same memory channel; when the buffer does not belong to the same memory channel, converting an address of a buffer descriptor about the packet to an address of a next packet address storage of the same channel of a queue; and enqueuing the converted address.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a novel oligomeric compound with improved dispersion performance and a method for preparing the same. The oligomeric compound comprises a tail structure consisting of hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks and an amine or imidazole head structure. The dye containing the compound can be used to prepare a paste composition for a semiconductor electrode of a solar cell. A semiconductor electrode produced using the paste composition and a solar cell fabricated using the semiconductor electrode exhibit greatly improved power conversion efficiency and superior processability.

Abstract: Disclosed are a novel dye, having a dispersant functional group to simultaneously exhibit a dye function and a dispersant function, and a dye-sensitized solar cell including the same. According to this invention, the dye may simultaneously manifest a dye function for absorbing light, made possible by being adsorbed on the entire surface of metal oxide particles, to thus produce excited electrons which are then transferred into a conduction band of metal oxide, and a dispersant function for preventing the agglomeration of the particles to thus improve the uniformity of the metal oxide particles in a paste and film density.
