A data security device for providing a network transport connection via a transparent network proxy that employs different encryption security mediums along a communications session between two endpoints by emulating one of the endpoints at an intermediate node such that the communication session appears as an atomic, secure connection to the endpoints yet provides appropriate security over the end-to-end connection. A sender node sends a connection request to establish a secure communication session with an intended receiver node. A transparent proxy on an intermediate node receives the request and establishes the link employing an encryption mechanism. The transparent proxy establishes a second link with the intended receiver, and applies a second, less expensive encryption mechanism. The transparent proxy combines the two links to form the trusted, secure connection but incurring only the mitigated expense over the second link.

There is provided a method of determining a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS). The method includes predicting an error rate of a symbol and determining a MCS of the symbol using the error rate. Since a MCS level is determined using an estimated error rate and user data is scheduled, multi-user diversity gain can be obtained and the transmission rate can be improved.

A flexible tubing for fine bubble aeration is provided with an air passageway defined in part by an upper portion and a lower portion. The tubing can be made of a uniform weighted material with more material in the lower portion than in the upper portion. This makes the tubing self-orienting, in that it will tend to orient itself with micro-slits along the upper portion facing upward and the lower portion facing downward when submerged in a body of water. An automated, one-stage production line converts raw tubing material to a finished tubing product without the need for separate processing. A method of coiling the tubing places the micro-slits approximately 90° away from the surface of a spool hub, thereby avoiding a longitudinal arch in the tubing and ultimately preventing roll-over and improper slit orientation after installation in a water body.

An optical component includes an antireflection film that is a multilayer film having alternately-laminated six or more layers including high refractive index layers and low refractive index layers; wherein a first layer of the antireflection film deposited closest to the substrate is a high refractive index layer; λ satisfies 480 nm≦λ≦530 nm where λ is the wavelength of light incident into the antireflection film; an optical thickness D1 of the first layer satisfies 0.02λ≦D1≦0.04λ; an optical thickness Dm of a layer of the antireflection film that is located fifth from an outermost layer deposited furthest from the substrate satisfies 0.19λ≦Dm≦0.75λ; a total physical thickness dt of the entire antireflection film satisfies 350 nm≦dt≦480 nm; and a total physical thickness da of the low refractive index layers satisfies 0.65 dt≦da≦0.80 dt.

The fuel cell includes a membrane electrode assembly and a gas diffusion layer that is disposed at each of opposite surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly, and includes a plurality of compressed parts that are formed by pressure at positions spaced out at predetermined intervals on the gas diffusion layer. The fuel cell further includes a separator that is in contact with an outer surface of the gas diffusion layer, and has a plurality of land parts that protrude toward the gas diffusion layer, and a plurality of channel parts that form flow paths between the land parts. The land parts respectively protrude toward the compressed parts of the gas diffusion layer to come in contact with the compressed parts.

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a signal in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system includes a transmitter with at least four transmit antennas and a receiver with at least one receive antenna. Space Frequency Block Coding (SFBC) processes are performed for input signals on a basis of two antenna pairs. Signal blocks whose number corresponds to the number of transmit antennas are output. A Space Time Block Coding (STBC) process is performed for the signal blocks generated according to the antenna pairs. Signals carried by single carriers are transmitted through the at least four transmit antennas mapped to the signal blocks.
