Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for switching from a master node to a secondary node in a communication system. A method of a first communication node may comprise: adding the first communication node as a primary secondary cell (PSCell) to a second communication node through dual connectivity (DC); generating a first user plane path for smart dynamic switching (SDS) and a first instance for supporting the first user plane path according to a request from the second communication node; transmitting information on the first user plane path and the first instance to a terminal; receiving user data based on the first user plane path from the terminal as the first instance; and transmitting the user data to a core network using the first user plane path.

Abstract: An olefin polymer and a preparation method for manufacturing the olefin polymer are disclosed. The olefin polymer has a high melting point and a high crystallization temperature, thus having excellent heat resistance. Therefore, the olefin polymer may be utilized in spout pouches for high-temperature liquid containers, or the like. The olefin polymer may have a density of 0.9 to 0.95 g/cm3, preferably 0.91 to 0.945 g/cm3, and satisfies the following Equations 1a and 2a: 224.02×d?86.257<Tm, and ??[Equation 1a] 219.64×d?95.767<Tc.

Abstract: Provided is a peptide composition for preventing or treating Alzheimer's dementia. A peptide or a salt substituent thereof according to the presently claimed subject matter exhibits effects such as suppression of LPS-mediated cytokine production, suppression of LPS-induced neuroinflammation, amelioration of cognitive impairment, suppression of beta amyloid or tau protein aggregation, and suppression of neuronal loss. The polypeptide or the salt substituent thereof can permeate the blood-brain barrier, and thus, is expected to be usefully used for preventing or treating Alzheimer's dementia.

Abstract: Disclosed is a laser-induced thermal strain imaging system and method using an implantable medical device, and the implantable medical device for laser-induced thermal strain imaging, the system including: a light source module emitting a laser beam; a light concentrating module concentrating the laser beam emitted from the light source module through an objective lens so as to enable the laser beam to enter an optical fiber; an ultrasound signal obtaining module provided with a scanning stage and the device, the ultrasound signal obtaining module emitting the laser beam received through the optical fiber to an image area and obtaining an ultrasound signal generated from the area; a pulse generating and ultrasound signal receiving module generating an ultrasound pulse being transmitted to the ultrasound signal obtaining module, and receiving and amplifying the signal; and a data obtaining module obtaining a thermal strain image through an algorithm by using the signal.

Abstract: Provided are a catheter for detection of ultrasound and photoacoustic signals and an image acquisition system using the catheter. The catheter for detection of ultrasound and photoacoustic signals includes a lens optical fiber where a lens is attached to an end of an optical fiber, an ultrasound transducer, a catheter main body where the lens optical fiber and the cable are disposed to pass through an inner portion thereof, a catheter head which is connected to an end of the catheter main body, and a membrane which surrounds a surface of the catheter head. The catheter is configured so as to irradiate condensed light by using the lens optical fiber and to receive the photoacoustic signal or to receive and transmit the ultrasound signal. Accordingly, it is possible to simultaneously acquire an ultrasound image and a high-resolution photoacoustic image.

Abstract: An optical fiber for generating a Bessel beam and an optical imaging device using the same are disclosed. The optical fiber for generating a Bessel beam includes a single mode optical fiber (SMF) unit, a multi-mode optical fiber unit, and a lens unit. The SMF unit includes a core and a cladding surrounding the core. The multi-mode optical fiber unit comes in contact with a first end of the SMF unit. The lens unit comes in contact with one end of the multi-mode optical fiber unit that faces the first end of the SMF unit.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for providing and using content advisory (CA) information on Internet contents. A method of providing CA information by using a CA information server, includes receiving a request for the CA information on a content, from an Internet Protocol television (IPTV); searching for CA information on the content; and transmitting the found CA information to the IPTV. A method of using CA information when an IPTV reproduces a content not having the CA information, according to the present invention, includes transmitting a request for CA information, to a CA information server; receiving the CA information from the CA information server; analyzing the CA information; and applying the CA information.
