Abstract: An anatomically specific, bioresorbable, implant device for facilitating the healing of voids in bone, cartilage and soft tissue is disclosed. A preferred embodiment of using the implant device for facilitating the healing of a human joint lesion includes a cartilage region invested with an alginate microstructure joined with a subchondral bone region invested with a hyaluronan microstructure. The alginate selectively dispersed in the cartilage region enhances the environment for chondrocytes to grow articular cartilage. The hyaluronan selectively dispersed in the subchondral bone region enhances the environment for mesenchymal cells which migrate into that region's macrostructure and which differentiate into osteoblasts. The microstructures can be invested at varying concentrations in the regions. A hydrophobic barrier, strategically positioned within the subchondral bone region macrostructure, shields the chondrocytes from the oxygenated blood in subchondral cancellous bone. In the preferred form, the cartilage region includes a tangential zone including a network of intercommunicating void spaces having a horizontal orientation and in communication with synovial fluid and includes a radial zone including multiple void spaces oriented in both horizontal and vertical planes and providing intercommunication between the tangential zone and the subchondral bone region. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a method for re-establishing a session of a client in a mobile terminal, when a session of an IMPS client loaded onto a mobile terminal is opened, the IMPS client stores information of the session in a memory of the mobile terminal (531), and when power of the mobile terminal is turned off and then turned on, the IMPS client checks whether the session is effective or not through a Keep Alive transaction (533,535), and restores the session by using the information stored in the memory if the session is effective. At this time, the memory is nonvolatile memory, and information of the session includes contact lists information, contacts information, a session ID for checking a session and the like.

Abstract: A lever-type electrical connector assembly employs a pivoting lever arm to assist in securely mating and un-mating connector halves with reduced connection mating forces between the halves. The assembly employs a housing with a boss pin and a connector with a corresponding cam groove. The connector includes a lever arm with which to direct the necessary mating forces. The lever arm engages the boss pin in the cam groove based upon a stroke, and the boss pin travels through the center point of rotation of the cam groove. The present invention also provides a lever-lock mechanism to securely prepare the lever arm connector in a pre-lock position. The lever lock mechanism is then automatically deflected by the base housing to enable free rotation. Once the lever arm is fully rotated and the connector halves are fully mated, a connector lock mechanism secures the connection.
