Abstract: Disclosed herein is a transportable bio-cement comprising a desiccated microorganism package; where the microorganism package comprises one or more microorganisms; a first binder, where the first binder is produced by the microorganism; and where the microorganism has protected itself by a layer of the first binder; where the transportable bio-cement is devoid of moisture. Disclosed herein too is a method of manufacturing a transportable dry composition comprising blending together a microorganism package; a nutrient; and a liquid; activating the microorganism package to produce a first binder; subjecting the microorganism package to desiccation to form a transportable bio-cement; and blending the transportable bio-cement with an aggregate to form a bio-concrete; where the aggregate comprises a substrate, a second binder, and a liquid.

Abstract: A method for controlling streaming media play includes: receiving from a terminal a PAUSE message requesting to pause the playing of a current streaming media file; pausing the sending of a media stream of the current streaming media file to the terminal and obtaining a first play time parameter, where the first play time parameter is about the time when the current streaming media file is paused; receiving from the terminal a PLAY message that carries a second play time parameter used to locate a play position of the streaming media file; and comparing the first play time parameter and the second play time parameter, and play, according to the comparison result, another streaming media file in the play list to which the current streaming media file belongs. This facilitates the selection of streaming media files by the user and enhances the user experience.

Abstract: The present invention relates to communication technologies, and provides a method, system and device for grouping a mobile Instant Messaging (IM) contact. The system includes a positioning module, configured to query information of a region at which a mobile terminal of a mobile IM contact locates; and an automatic grouping module, configured to obtain the information of the region at which the mobile terminal of the mobile IM contact locates from the positioning module, and group the mobile IM contact according to the information of the region. Embodiments of the present invention may improve the accuracy of the grouping result, and may greatly improve the efficiency of the grouping.

Abstract: The present invention involves Instant Messaging, IM, fields, and provides a system and method for intercommunicating chat information between an IM group and a chat room, and an intercommunication system. The system for intercommunicating chat information between an IM group and a chat room includes an IM group system, a chat room system, and an intercommunication system located between the IM group system and chat room system, the intercommunication system being adapted to establish a connection channel between the IM group system and the chat room system and forward chat information between the IM group system and the chat room system according to the connection channel. By adding an intercommunication system between the IM group system and chat room system to manage connections and forward information for the two parties, the intercommunication between the IM group system and chat room system can be implemented effectively with low costs.
