Abstract: Micro-idle power in a subsystem of a portable computing device may be actively managed based on client voting. Each client vote may include a client activity status indication and a client latency tolerance indication. Votes are aggregated to provide an aggregate client latency tolerance, which may be used to obtain a set of micro-idle time values. Micro-idle timers in the subsystem may be set to associated micro-idle time values. The micro-idle timers determine whether one or more of the micro-idle time values have elapsed. A power management policy associated with each micro-idle time value determined to have elapsed may be applied to a portion of the subsystem.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing an injectable thermosensitive chitosan/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers hydrogel. The injectable thermosensitive chitosan/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers hydrogel exhibits superior biocompatibility through addition of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers, and excellent cell proliferation and bone regeneration through cellular interaction, and is gelled in vivo, thus being highly useful as a filler for wound healing and bone regeneration. In addition, the injectable thermosensitive chitosan/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers hydrogel exhibits excellent porosity, has an interconnected structure and is thermogelling, based on thermosensitivity of undergoing a sol-gel transition depending on temperature, thus inducing rapid gelation in vivo and facilitating bone regeneration upon implantation in vivo.
