Abstract: A method for executing multipath communication at a target communication device includes obtaining, from a source communication device, data packets via two or more different paths, where a header of each data packet includes packet information, which is indicative of an association among the plurality of data packets. The packet information in each data packet at a source communication device is the same as packet information in each data packet at a target communication device irrespective of different radio access technologies, communication protocols, or radio links used in the two or more different paths. The plurality of data packets includes different data packets having different payload or duplicate data packets having a copy of the same payload. The method further includes identifying a first set of data packets received via a first path and a second set of data packets received via a second path based on the packet information.

Abstract: Various features and processes related to document collaboration are disclosed. In some implementations, animations are presented when updating a local document display to reflect changes made to the document at a remote device. In some implementations, a user can selectively highlight changes made by collaborators in a document. In some implementations, a user can select an identifier associated with another user to display a portion of a document that includes the other user's cursor location. In some implementations, text in document chat sessions can be automatically converted into hyperlinks which, when selected, cause a document editor to perform an operation.

Abstract: A method of separating fine particles (clay, silt, etc.) that have adsorbed contaminants such as heavy metals or radioactive nuclides in soil using cationic magnetic nanoparticles. According to the method, contaminants such as heavy metals or radioactive nuclides selectively or irreversibly adsorbed to fine particles (clay, silt, etc.) in soil may be economically and efficiently separated. Therefore, the method may be effectively used to restore soil in residential areas that are contaminated with radioactive nuclides in serious accidents such as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster as well as facility sites contaminated with heavy metals or radioactive nuclides.

Abstract: AM580 and structurally related compounds have been found to be useful in treating infection by a wide range of RNA and DNA viruses, and also in reducing associated inflammation. This activity is independent of RAR-? signaling, and is not a result of activation of the hosts innate immune response. Broad antiviral activity of AM580 and structurally related compounds is a due to modulation of lipogenesis so as to correct disregulation of this pathway in virus-infected cells, via inhibition of nSREPBP.
