In VOD server, in order to guarantee playback of continuous media, such as video, without hiccups for multiusers, the server has to manage its buffer sophisticatedly by prefeching a part of the data into the buffer As the continuous media data buffered by one user can be used again by the others, the number of disk accesses is reduced and then the latency time far the users is also reduced. In this paper, we propose a new buffer management technique for continuous media in VOD server. Our basic algorithm partitions the buffer into groups and then a group of buffer which has the lowest utilization is chosen and partitioned again for a new user. The basic algorithm is extended for supporting multiple streams and clip data and for providing VCR functions. Our proposed technique is able to increase in the number of concurrent users as increasing the utilization of the buffer and to minimize the average waiting time for multiuser accesses as the bandwidth of storage is slowly reached to the limit. In the simulation study for comparing the performance of our technique with that of the existing techniques, we show that the average waiting time is reduced mere than 50% and the number of concurrent users increases by 1 ∼5% as compared with those of the exiting techniques.

Klinefelter syndrome a genetic disorder with various clinical manifestations. Neurological symptoms, such as seizures, are rarely reported with Klinefelter syndrome, and it response well to anti-epileptic drugs. A 5-month-old boy visited the Inha university hospital due to jerking movements and hiccups. The patient had been diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome at birth and had a medical history of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit due to opisthotonus and ocular deviation at 26 days of age. The patient's serum testosterone level was decreased and his anti-$M{\ddot{u}}llerian$ hormone level was increased. The brain image examination was normal and the electoencephalography and other blood test results showed no specific findings. However, after admission, the patient recurred generalized tonic-clonic-seizures recurred intermittently even after the administration of antiepileptic drugs. This paper reports a case of non-febrile seizures in a child with Klinefelter syndrome who presented with a refractory course.
