Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor memory device and a fabricating method thereof, and the semiconductor memory device includes a substrate, bit lines, plugs and a spacer structure. The bit lines are separately disposed on the substrate, and the plugs are also disposed on the substrate to alternately arrange with the bit lines. The spacer structure is disposed on the substrate, between each of the bit lines and each of the plugs. The spacer structure includes a first air gap layer, a first spacer and a second air gap layer, and the first air gap layer, the first spacer and the second air gap layer are sequentially stacked between sidewalls of the bit lines and the plugs. Therefore, two air gap layers may be formed between the bit lines and the storage node contacts to improve the delay between the resistor and the capacitor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for hiding information in a communication protocol signal are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a bit selection unit, an information encoding unit and an information decoding unit, wherein the bit selection unit selects suitable bits in the signal for hiding information, the information encoding unit encodes the information into the suitable bits selected by the bit selection unit, and the information decoding unit decodes the information encoded in the suitable bits.

Abstract: A location awareness system for a wireless local area network (WLAN). The location awareness system of the present invention allows the infrastructure owner to control the content and method of location related information. The location information translation is performed by the local area server, thus private information is protected inside the WLAN, hidden from to the public presence server. The location awareness system comprises an area agent, a local area server, and a presence server. The area agent obtains location information by providing the area tag to the local area server, and only submits the authorized location information (location awareness information) to the presence server either directly or by the local area server. The present invention further comprises a relay as a cache between the area agent and the local area server.
