Abstract: A content system and method in which content may be divided into chunks and distributed and stored in content routers or content servers, content routing information corresponding to information on the distributed and stored content may be provided to a client terminal when a request for the content is received from the client terminal, and the client terminal may receive the distributed and stored content in chunk units based on the received content routing information.

Abstract: The method includes, receiving a content request message from a user terminal, comparing a batching window value and a timer value in session information when there is session information corresponding to received content, and transmitting a content response message including an address of a stored surrogate server to the user terminal when the timer value is less than the batching window value. In addition, the method includes, receiving a request message for requesting the same content from another user terminal, and transmitting the content response message including address information of the same surrogate server to another user terminal when the timer value is less than the batching window value. Therefore, since more channels can be assigned to one surrogate server, it is possible to decrease data transmission costs of the surrogate server.

Abstract: A dehumidifying apparatus is provided for a dryer, the dryer including a case; a drum disposed inside the case that receives objects to be dried therein; and a hot air supplying device that supplies hot air into the drum and dry the objects to be dried. The dehumidifying apparatus includes a plurality of dehumidifying devices, and is thereby capable of controlling humidity of exhausted air to a required level of humidity by removing moisture contained in air exhausted from the plurality of dehumidifying devices in multiple steps.

Abstract: A method for creating content and a portable terminal adapted therefor. An image is selected. The camera captures an image of at least one object from within an image currently being received by the camera. New content is created by combining the captured image of the at least one object with the selected image.

Abstract: Disclosed are abrasive particles, a method for manufacturing the abrasive particles, and a method for manufacturing a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) slurry. The method for manufacturing abrasive particles for the CMP slurry includes preparing a raw material precursor, drying the raw material precursor, and calcining the dried raw material precursor using a calcination furnace where a gas atmosphere having relatively less oxygen in comparison with an air atmosphere is created.
