Abstract: A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, from a serving base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including a handover command to new radio (NR) cell, while performing an emergency service on long term evolution (LTE) cell. The method includes identifying whether the NR cell supports a reduced capability (RedCap) function, based on system information on the NR cell. The method includes switching an operation mode of the terminal from RedCap mode to an NR normal mode, in case that the NR cell does not support RedCap function. The method includes, while the terminal operates in the NR normal mode, performing the emergency service on the NR cell through access to the NR cell. The method includes, in response to termination of the emergency service, switching the operation mode of the terminal from NR normal mode to RedCap mode.

Abstract: A matching making carrier service system and method that enables users to connect and collaborate on carrier services is described. The system provides a platform for users to search for each other for goods transportation purposes, such that a requester user and a traveler user can agree upon a freelance carrier service. The system may be configured to provide means to verify each user to provide reliable security of transactions between users. The system may be configured to provide escrow services to hold payment in secured means, such that payment may be configured to reliably provided upon completion of tasks. The platform may be configured to provide a feedback and review system such that users can be rated and ranked for the services rendered. The system may be configured to provide security encryption to ensure reliable interaction between users.

Abstract: Illumination systems and methods of designing and construction of the same are disclosed. The resulting illumination systems comprising both Front and Back light modules, provides selectable and programmable illumination according to the requirements of the invention for optimal performance of enhancing defects on a multidimensional object. The light guides are suitably aligned to the Backlight module and mechanically integrated with spring loaded mechanisms to enable them to move freely and subsequently re-postion them to a reference home position as determined at the time of setup of the illumination assembly. The Front light module is utilised to highlight surface defects and mechanically integrated to the illumination system. The illumination modules, may include multiple discrete light emitting components of different spatial intensity distribution and color spectrum mounted in specific layout such that the application oriented combined illuminating effect is created.

Abstract: A method for producing a core-shell hybrid material made of an activated carbon core surrounded by a mesoporous silica sol-gel shell, the method including the formation of a mesoporous silica sol-gel shell around activated carbon particles. Also, the core-shell hybrid material formed by the method, and its use as a filtering material in filtering systems.

Abstract: Air filtration, in particular in cooking appliances, such as for example deep fryers. In particular, an odorless lid suitable for any container that allows odors or volatile compounds to escape and more particularly for any food cooking appliance, the odorless lid comprises a filtering material of particles having a core-shell structure, wherein the activated carbon core is surrounded by a shell of a mesoporous sol-gel material based on functionalized or nonfunctionalized silica.
