Abstract: A method for freeze-drying a hydrogel composition is disclosed, the method comprising providing the hydrogel composition, wherein the hydrogel composition comprises cellulose nanofibrils and/or cellulose nanocrystals, at least one saccharide, at least one amino acid, and biologics; and freeze-drying the hydrogel composition, thereby obtaining a freeze-dried hydrogel composition.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed for providing quality of service (QoS) for a network data connection. The network data connection uses a network protocol selectable from a plurality of network protocols. A QoS module can receive a request for a generic QoS and apply this to the network protocol using a specific QoS associated with the protocol. The QoS module may include features for automatic management of QoS and a user interface for changing data connection parameters.

Abstract: A method for transmitting and receiving data packets between a master device and at least one slave device using a synchronized data communication protocol. In the method, a time period to be used between consecutive packets to be transmitted to the master device is defined, on the basis of the calculated number of data packets received by the master device in a predetermined time period. In the wireless data communication system, a master device, and a slave device, including wireless data communication part transmit and receive data packets between the devices using a synchronized data communication protocol. In the protocol, the time period to be used between consecutive packets to be transmitted is defined on the basis of the calculated number of data packets received by the master device in a predetermined time period.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving data packets between a master device (31) and at least one slave device (32, 33, 34, 35) using a synchronized data communication protocol. In the method, a time period to be used between consecutive packets to be transmitted to the master device (31) is defined, on the basis of the calculated number of data packets received by the master device (31) in a predetermined time period. The invention further relates to a wireless data communication system, a master device (31), and a slave device (32, 33, 34, 35), comprising wireless data communication means (22) for transmitting and receiving data packets between the devices (31,32, 33, 34, 35) using a synchronized data communication protocol. In the protocol, the time period to be used between consecutive packets to be transmitted is defined on the basis of the calculated number of data packets received by the master device (31) in a predetermined time period.

Abstract: A device for generating a 3D image based on 2D graphical content of an image and depth information (i.e., Z-map) to be displayed on a display includes an application processor, a graphical processing unit (GPU), a 3D rendering unit and a display. The application processor is capable of sending 2D graphical content to the GPU, which is stored in memory. The GPU also includes a depth table having predefined depth information corresponding to the 2D graphical content. The GPU includes a depth module which monitors or identifies the 2D graphical content and requests a graphics library to paint a corresponding area in the Z-map that has the same size and position in the Z-map as that of the 2D graphical content. The GPU sends the 2D graphical content and the painted Z-map to a 3D rendering unit which creates a 3D image to be shown on a display.

Abstract: Generic Internet Protocol (IP) authentication is provided by authentication server (134). Application Programming Interface (API) (310) detects the protocol type of an incoming authentication request and invokes one of a number of authentication mechanisms (318-326) depending on the protocol type detected. A localized repository (520) is provided to store Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) information and other algorithm data as required to facilitate the authentication session.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method is disclosed for providing media session descriptors. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a method of initiating a multimedia session via a computing arrangement involves forming a request for a session descriptor usable for initiating the multimedia session. The request is communicated to a session descriptor module of the computing arrangement. A session descriptor is formed based on a set of multimedia session parameters of the computing arrangement. The session descriptor is communicated from the session descriptor module, and the multimedia session is initiated using the session descriptor.
