Abstract: An optical system enables high image quality Head Mounted Displays to be made more compact and/or of reduced weight. The optical system includes at least two or more image panels per eye, two or more reflective surfaces per image panel, and a refractive eyepiece element. Light from each image panel is reflected by a distinct set of optical surfaces before reaching the eye, forming at least two overlapping virtual images per eye. The invention may allow the apparatus to have a compact form factor with weight distribution close to the user's face without compromising on image quality and resolution.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods of reversing and inhibiting liver fibrosis and hepatitis using a small indolinone molecule Hesperadin and related compounds. Methods of identifying such agents and using them to inhibit the expression of collagens and ECM proteins including MMPs and TIMPs in purified hepatic stellate cells are provided. In vivo data of Hesperadin in inhibiting induced collagen production are presented. This method of specifically targeting drugs to hepatic stellate cells in vivo, provides a novel therapy for liver diseases.

Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) system includes an optical arrangement, a first image panel, a second image panel, and a central image panel located between the first and second image panels.

Abstract: A gateway (GW) acquires an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of a user equipment (UE) without requesting a mobile management entity (MME) of a core network (CN) to provide it. The GW detects arrival of a S1AP message for the UE. If the GW does not have the IMSI of the UE, and if a NAS payload of the S1AP message is ciphered, send to the UE a rejecting message indicating detaching the UE from the CN, causing the UE to request re-attaching to the CN in a S1AP message that is an Initial UE Message, which contains a temporary identifier of the UE. Then alter the Initial UE Message with a fabricated temporary identifier not recognizable by the MME and send the altered message to the MME, causing the MME to ask the UE to identify itself with the IMSI, which is read by the GW.
