  • Patent number: 9762495
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for adjusting network traffic balance among a plurality of communication links between a first network node and a second network node on a computing network includes a processor receiving over a computing network from a network device, performance metrics for a plurality of communications links between a first network node and a second network node on the computing network and based on receiving the performance metrics, the processor determines degradation in network performance on at least one of the plurality of communication links. The processor determines a weight for each communication link, associating a lower weight with the degraded link(s), and formulates instructions for an adjusted network traffic balance among the links, based on the weights.

  • Publication number: 20170119196
    Abstract: A thermo tea maker includes a tea cup and a tea infuser. The exterior of the tea cup has a first isolation gap in a vacuum state to block the heat conduction from an inner part to an outer part of the cup part. The exterior of the tea infuser has a second isolation gap in a vacuum state to block the heat conduction from an inner segment to an outer segment of the tea infuser. The tea cup and the tea infuser are able to keep the tea warm. When the tea infuser is turned, the tea infuser will not scald the user's hand.
