Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for mutual authentication of quantum entities based on Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD). The method may include configuring a quantum input form based on an authentication key shared in advance with a counterpart entity, applying polarization modulation to the configured quantum input form, transmitting the quantum input form to which polarization modulation is applied to a quantum measurement device, and authenticating the counterpart entity by checking whether the counterpart entity configures a quantum input form according to the shared authentication key using a measurement result and information about polarization modulation.

Abstract: A storage device, a non-volatile memory device, and a method of operating the non-volatile memory device are provided. The storage device includes a storage controller configured to send a command and program data including a pattern of one or more bits, a non-volatile memory device configured to receive the command and the program data, and a pattern monitoring circuit configured to monitor a pattern of the program data sent from the storage controller. The pattern monitoring circuit is configured to send an abnormal status check bit to the storage controller when the program data includes repeated patterns that are repeated a preset number of times or more, and the storage controller is configured to resend the program data to the non-volatile memory device in response to receiving the abnormal status check bit.

Abstract: A storage controller and a storage system comprising the same are provided. Provided is a device security manager configured to set a first device security zone to allow a first tenant to access first tenant data stored in a non-volatile memory, receive access information from a host device and writing the received access information in a mapping table, wherein the access information includes a first host memory address in which the first tenant data is stored in the host device, a first namespace identifier for identifying the first tenant data stored in the non-volatile memory, a first logic block address corresponding to the first namespace identifier, and an encryption key, encrypt the first tenant data by using the encryption key, and write the encrypted first tenant data in the first device security zone of the non-volatile memory.

Abstract: There is provided a structure of a needle for a syringe and, more particularly, to a needle connected to a medical syringe variously used for an intramuscular injection, an intravenous injection, an injection of Ringer's solution, or the others, which comprises a groove or protrusion in diverse shapes formed on the surface of the needle, whereby the needle is easily inserted to reduce pain and irritation when an injection is administered and the needle is prevented from being off an injection direction to inject medicine into a desired part, without any error when injections are administered into a muscle and a vein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a structure of a natural or artificial hair for a hair transplant and, more particularly, to a processed structure of a natural or artificial hair for transplantation, comprising: a number of fixing cut parts formed lengthwise on the outer circumferential surface line of a lower end part of a natural or artificial hair to be transplanted to a scalp of a person, that is, on the outer circumferential surface line of an insertion part to be inserted inside the scalp, the fixing cut part cut perpendicular to the outer circumferential surface line of the insertion part and formed along the outer circumference surface of the insertion part while having a predetermined angle toward the center of the hair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antenna for a cellular phone that is always installed in the same construction irrespective of an outer look of an antenna when the antenna is engaged to a cellular phone body, and is stably fixed to a cellular phone body, and an assembling and disassembling procedure are easy, and an antenna exchanging operation is conveniently performed. The antenna for a cellular phone comprises an antenna holder having a guide groove part and engaged in a body of a cellular phone; an antenna housing that is formed of an antenna connector having a protrusion part engaged to the guide groove part and fixedly inserted into the antenna holder, and an antenna support part integrally formed in the antenna connector; and a rod antenna that passes through the antenna connector and the antenna support part, respectively, in such a manner that the rod antenna is extendable from the body of the cellular phone.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel receptor kinase and the gene thereof which can be used for activating plant defense systems against several pathogens such as fungi. The receptor kinase CHRK1 of this present invention has an extracellular domain similar to a chitinase, and whose gene expression is stimulated by infection of TMV. In addition, the receptor kinase CHRK1 contains a chitin-binding activity as well as a kinase activity so that it binds to chitin of fungal cell wall as a chitin receptor, stimulates a kinase domain, and thus effectively activates versatile plant defense systems. Therefore, the receptor kinase CHRK1 of this present invention can be used for developing plants having high resistance to fungi.
