In a first embodiment, a first fabric layer has gelatinous strips, thereby separating the first fabric layer into sections. In one example, the method includes receiving a request for an application service from a user via a transport network, determining to deny the request, and providing a response corresponding to the denial of the request to the user via the transport network. The outer periphery of the setting face serves as a tilting face in a curved shape. The clock controller generates a clock buffer enable signal and a small clock buffer enable signal based on the first and the second signals.
