Abstract: Disclosed are a microneedle patch, a realtime blood sugar monitoring device, and a realtime blood sugar monitoring method using the realtime blood sugar monitoring device. The realtime blood sugar monitoring device causes a different color to be reversibly expressed according to the concentration of sugar included in the skin of a human body, and, thus, if the device is utilized, the concentration of the sugar in the human body can be measured in realtime in a minimally invasive manner. Also, the present invention shows the measured concentration of the sugar by connecting to a wearable device and, thereby, allows a user to more conveniently check changes in the concentration of the sugar in realtime.

Abstract: A method for receiving a streaming service is disclosed. The method for receiving a streaming service may be a method performed at a terminal for receiving a streaming service for a video content coded in a layered manner and may include the steps of: (a) sequentially requesting a transmission of at least one video data for a basic layer to be stored in the idle space of a buffer; and (b) sequentially requesting a transmission of video data for a layer of an increased level if the buffer does not have idle space, performed during the decoding of video data corresponding to a single video chunk, where step (b) may be repeated with the level of the layer increased during the decoding of video corresponding to a single video chunk.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally discloses various mechanisms for supporting multipath communications, including mechanisms for supporting retransmissions for multipath communications. The mechanisms for supporting retransmission for multipath communications may be provided within the context of multipath transport connections, such as Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) connections. The mechanisms for supporting retransmission for multipath communications may support retransmission of lost or delayed packets of a multipath transport connection in a manner tending to avoid a timeout of the multipath transport connection.

Abstract: Methods and systems of adjusting bandwidth allocation by a network element in a communications network includes monitoring a data flow traversing a target port, determining a bandwidth allocation for the target port, determining a fair-share bandwidth allocation for the target port, and adjusting the bandwidth allocation for the target port based on the fair-share bandwidth allocation. The bandwidth allocation for the target port is a bandwidth that is currently allocated for the data flow. The fair-share bandwidth allocation is a proportional allocation of a total bandwidth of the network element.

Abstract: A method for avoiding a network congestion at a network includes an aggregator and a plurality of workers, wherein the plurality of workers share the same bottleneck link to the aggregator. The method includes counting a number of connections between the aggregator and the worker, and adjusting a window size of each of the workers. The window size is based on the number of connections. The method further includes adding an ACK delay to an ACK, and sending the ACK with the window size to the worker. The ACK delay is based on the window size.
