Abstract: Provided are an accounting apparatus and method in a portable Internet system.  According to the apparatus and method, when an accounting report is periodically performed or service status change, such as service generation/change/deletion, is requested from a portable subscriber station (PSS), accounting information for all service flows in progress at the timing of an accounting report is transferred to an accounting server according to one accounting report period. Thus, it is possible to minimize accounting information loss, reduce a network load caused by accounting message transfer, and perform accounting transaction differentiated according to service classes. Therefore, while minimizing influence on overall portable Internet system performance, accurate accounting information for the PSS can be obtained and accounting methods can be embodied to be differentiated according to service classes. Consequently, a more consistent accounting can be achieved between a user and a service provider.

Filed: 2007-02-21
Abstract: A novel microfluidic device has been developed to measure stability of thin liquid films of water in oil emulsions using electrochemical perturbation of interfaces. This new device can be utilized in rapid classification of de-emulsifiers used in petroleum industries. Although water/crude oil emulsions have been the primary focus of this research, this measurement platform can be used in other industries such as food, cosmetics and bio-engineering (bilayer lipid membranes) as well as environmental remediation of oil spills. The compact design of the device and replacement of the mechanical measurements such as pressure with electrical signal measurements contributes in substantial size reduction of the experimental platform so that it can be employed for onsite measurements in remote areas.
