The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a transparent gas barrier film by using plasma surface treatment and a transparent gas barrier film fabricated according to such method which has an organic/inorganic gradient interface structure at the interface between an organic/inorganic hybrid layer and an inorganic layer. Since the method of the present invention is capable of fabricating a gas barrier film by plasma surface treatment instead of deposition under high vacuum, it can mass-produce a transparent gas barrier film with excellent gas barrier properties in an economical and simple manner. Further, since the transparent gas barrier film fabricated according to the method of the present invention shows excellent gas barrier properties and is free of crack formation and layer-peeling phenomenon, it can be effectively used in the manufacture of a variety of display panels.

NIC collected network statistics are captured by agent devices resident on Host machines of a network. A probe (software or hardware) retrieves the collected statistics from one or more monitored hosts (each host on the network, for example) and places them in RMON MIB and RMON extension MIB formats. The MIB data is retrieved by queries from a data correlation device that then correlates the queried data into useful statistics regarding network traffic. The useful statistics include network traffic in bytes per second for each application, application protocol, hosts, user logon id, etc. for each of the monitored hosts. Different views including a host to host matrix view are provided in a split window display.

Positional and elevation data obtained from a camera unit is correlated with coordinates in an entire image display portion, used as a GUI having positional information to select a specified image with a mouse. Which frame this corresponds to in the entire image is calculated, and further, the position within the clicked frame is calculated. The calculated positional information is converted into positional information and elevation data of the frame. The camera unit is controlled with the positional information and elevation data from the camera unit, and an image of a range indicated by a specified image display frame superimposed on the display portion is taken, and stored and/or displayed. This allows confirmation an image of a range to be photographed beforehand, and the user can tell the relation between the range capable of acquiring images and the photography range at a glance, so desired portions can be continuously monitored.

A body temperature regulating garment apparatus that removes heat from blood flow then releases the heat to the atmosphere by evaporative cooling lowering the temperature of a body. Heat of the blood is absorbed by a moist superabsorbent material, that in turn is maintained at a temperature cooler than the blood by a removable and condition able thermal pack used to store temperature. The enclosure device used to store the superabsorbent material is formable around the thermal pack and around a separable clothing garment such as a scarf or a bandanna. The scarf or bandanna is used to secure the enclosure device to a body part where gathering forms the enclosure to the body part shape, maximizing contact with the area and secured with a gathering means. The clothing garment can be used for displaying advertising, brands or characters, making it more valuable to providers.
