Abstract: Wearable article comprising a laminate with excellent sweat management properties. The laminate comprises a first web and a second web. The second web is formed of a first fibrous layer and a second fibrous layer, which are integrally combined with each other. The second fibrous layer may be more hydrophilic than the first fibrous layer; and/or the second fibrous layer may have higher average surface area per volume than the first fibrous layer.

Abstract: A method is described that is executed by a computer system implementing a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) to enable serving media files by streaming over HTTP. The method is constructed to enable serving media files that are segmented from multiple sources using switch access points defined in a switch access point (SAP) file. The SAP files define transition points in the serving of the media files between different media file sources. The method includes a set of steps such as determining a media meta file or media segment files for a SAP file. The requested media meta file or media segment files are sent to the client. A request for a SAP file is then received from the client. The SAP file request is redirected to a second HTTP server in response to the SAP file indicating the next media segment file identified by the SAP file is not local.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method 100 performed in a broadcast multicast service center, BM-SC, node 10 for providing an on-request service to an end-user device 5. The method 100 comprises obtaining 101, from a content delivery node 4, the size of a file of the on-request service; determining (102), based on the obtained file size, one or more parameters related to encoding of the file, thereby establishing a virtual partitioning of the file into a number Z of source blocks; downloading 103, from the content delivery node 4, a source block of the file according to the determined one or more parameters; encoding 104 the source block of the file into encoding symbols according to the determined one or more parameters; and providing 105 the encoding symbols for delivery to the end-user device 5. The disclosure also relates to a BM-SC node 10, computer programs and computer program products.
