Abstract: An encryption processor, for storing encrypted data in a memory chip of a memory card, includes a FIFO memory for sequentially outputting m-bit data in response to a first signal, and an encryption key generator for generating m-bit encrypted keys (m being a positive integer) in response to a second signal and for sequentially outputting the keys in response to a third signal. A logic operator performs a logic operation on the data from the FIFO memory with the keys from the encryption key generator during a data write operation to sequentially encrypt the data. The logic operator performs a logic operation on the encrypted data received from a memory interface with the keys output from the encryption key generator during a data read operation in order to sequentially decode the encrypted data. The second signal is simultaneously generated with one of the write command or the read command.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facilitated transport membrane for separation of alkene hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon mixtures, comprising a porous support and a solid polymer electrolyte consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer having phthalic structure, in which the electrolyte is in solid state at its operating temperature. The facilitated transport membrane is prepared by forming a solid polymer electrolyte consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer on a porous support. The transition metal salt can selectively and reversibly form a complex with alkene hydrocarbons and the polymer can dissociate the transition metal salt. In particular, the polymer matrix allows the transition metal salt to be well dissociated because it has a phthalic structure capable of being coordinated to a transition metal ion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for adjusting lumbosacral area, which corrects misalignment of the vertebrae in the lumbosacral area by applying pressure on the lumbosacral area. The present invention simultaneously applies vertical and horizontal forces to the lumbosacral area where vertebral displacement has occurred to adjust the vertebral displacement in the lumbosacral area and remove stress concentrated on the lumbosacral area. Accordingly, the lumbosacral area where the vertebral displacement has happened can be easily adjusted. Also, when the apparatus is manually operated, there is an effect that muscular strength can be increased while adjusting the lumbosacral area. In addition, stress concentrated on a lumbosacral joint wherein the lumbar vertebrae and the sacral vertebrae meet together is removed, so that a user can enjoy physically and mentally healthy life.
