Abstract:
A sulfonated poly(arylene ether) copolymer that has a crosslinking structure in a chain of a polymer, a sulfonated poly(arylene ether) copolymer that has a crosslinking structure in and at an end of a chain of a polymer, and a polymer electrolyte film that is formed by using them are disclosed. According to the polycondensation reaction of the sulfonated dihydroxy monomer (HO—SAr1-OH), the none sulfonated dihydroxy monomer (HO—Ar—OH), the crosslinkable dihalide monomer (X—CM-X) and the none sulfonated dihalide monomer (X—Ar—X), the poly(arylene ether) copolymer in which the sulfonic acid is included is synthesized. The formed poly(arylene ether) copolymer has the crosslinkable structure in the chain of the polymer. In addition, by carrying out the polycondensation reaction in respects to the crosslinkable monohydroxy monomer or the crosslinkable monohalide monomer, the crosslinking can be formed at the end of the polymer. Through this, the thermal stability, the mechanical stability, the chemical stability, the film formation ability and the like is the same as or better than those of the Nafion film that is currently commercialized and is used as the polymer electrolyte film, and the proton conductivity and the cell performance are excessively improved. In addition, even though it is exposed to the moisture over a long period of time, since there is no change in the property of the electrolyte film, the dimensional stability is high.

The optical transmitter includes a light source radiating at its output an intensity-modulated light beam based upon intensity of a first data, a precoder for precoding a second data having the information identical to the first data, and a Mach Zehnder modulator for phase-modulating the intensity-modulated light on basis of the precoded second data to generate a return-to-zero alternative-mark-inversion (RZ-AMI) optical signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of performing a periodical synchronization at a predetermined transmission link for ensuring a start of a super frame in a residential Ethernet system. The method includes the steps of ensuring a start of a first predetermined super frame at the predetermined transmission link, transmitting Sync frames and Async frames through a predetermined number (N-1) of super frames, in which N is a total number of the super frames, and controlling an Async frame to be transmitted at an end point of the (N-1) super frames in such a manner that a start of a next super frame (Nth super frame) is strictly ensured, thereby maintaining a synchronization for the start of the super frame.
Abstract:
A Residential Ethernet switching apparatus for performing time slot switching includes an input unit for receiving frames as input, and a parser for parsing the received frames into asynchronous Ethernet frames (AsyncE frames) and Residential Ethernet frames (ResE frames). An AsyncE switching processor performs a switching operation for an AsyncE frame parsed by the parser. A ResE switching processor performs, according to positions of time slots included in a ResE frame parsed, a virtual MAC (VMAC) processing for the ResE frame The ResE switching processor also performs a switching operation based on a result of the VMAC processing. A multiplexer multiplexes the AsyncE frame switched by the AsyncE switching processor, and the ResE frame switched by the ResE switching processor, for output.
