Abstract: A plated steel wire, according to one aspect of the present invention, comprises: a base steel wire; and a zinc alloy plated layer. The zinc alloy plated layer comprises, in percentage by weight: 1.0% to 3.0% of AI; 1.0% to 2.0% of Mg; 0.5% to 5.0% of Fe; and the balance being Zn and unavoidable impurities, and includes a Zn/MgZn2/AI ternary eutectic structure, a Zn single-phase structure, and an Fe—Zn-AI-based crystal structure, wherein the Fe—Zn-AI-based crystal structure is formed adjacent to the base steel wire, and can have an average thickness of ? to ½ with respect to an average thickness of the zinc alloy plated layer.

Abstract: A traffic management method based on a blockchain network includes: collecting, by a user terminal, vehicle driving information; receiving, by the user terminal, block 5 generation permission information from a server; and generating, by the user terminal, a driving information block by using the block generation permission information and the vehicle driving information, and storing, by the user terminal, the driving information block in a blockchain 10 network.

Abstract: Provided are a watermarking method and a watermarking apparatus for a mesh mode, which are applicable to a system which requires high precision, such as a rapid prototyping system. A reference coordinate system is set using 1-ring values of vertices of a 3D mesh model. The vertices are sorted based on the set reference coordinate system, and bit-information of the watermark consisting of bit string is, respectively, embedded into each of polygonal faces of the 3D mesh model in the sorted order. The present invention is advantageous in that the shape of the model is not deformed even when watermarked, and therefore the present invention is useful in a rapid prototyping system which requires high precision for the purpose of authenticating data integrity. The present invention can be also used for the purpose of marking contents without the need for storing, and for the purpose of information hiding.

Abstract: Digital watermarking of digital audio is performed by Fourier transforming digital audio data, wavelet transforming the magnitude components of the Fourier transform coefficients of the digital audio data, discrete cosine transforming a watermark signal, multiplying the sign of the wavelet transform coefficients of the magnitude components to the coefficients of the discrete cosine transformed watermark signal, adding the coefficients of the Fourier transformed digital audio data and the adjusted discrete cosine transformed watermark signal, and inverse wavelet transforming the audio signal's coefficients before inverse Fourier transformation to finally generate watermark-embedded audio signal data.

Abstract: In embedding a watermark in a digital audio contents, a model using a minimum audible limit of the digital audio contents is generated and a series of pseudo random number is masked to generate the watermark to be inserted in the digital audio contents In order to extract the watermark embedded in the digital audio contents, an auditory psychological model having a minimum audible limit, which depends on the characteristic of frequency generated from the digital audio contents, is formed to generate the watermark from a series of pseudo random number. After generating the watermark, the length of the watermark is adjusted according to the relationship of a signal processing between the adjacent digital audio contents. By measuring the correlation between the watermark and digital audio contents, it is possible to detect whether the watermark is inserted or not.
