Abstract: An immunomodulatory hydrogel is prepared using methoxy polyethylene glycol amine (mPEG-NH2) as an initiator, the mPEG-NH2 reacts with L-tyrosine-N-carboxyanhydrides (L-Tyr-NCAs) to form a methoxy polyethylene glycol-poly L-tyrosine (PETyr) as a PETyr block copolymer. The PETyr is then reacted with tyrosinase to form an oxidized methoxy polyethylene glycol-poly L-tyrosine copolymer (PETO). By co-dissolving the PETO with octyl itaconate nanomicelles (ITA8) in a disperse medium, an itaconic acid-loaded immunomodulatory hydrogel (PETO-ITA8) is obtained.

Abstract: The power requirements of user equipments (UEs) are expected to increase as their capabilities increase. Some power saving methods have previously been proposed, but are limited by the radio resource control (RRC) protocol and do not address the power consumption associated with having to transition between different RRC states. In some embodiments described herein, there are not different RRC states, but instead a single RRC state. Within that single RRC state, there are different modes of operation, e.g. a default low power operation mode and an enhanced power operation mode. In some embodiments, the UE switches from the default operation mode to the enhanced operation mode on an on-demand basis (e.g. based on the communication capability required by the UE), and then returns back to the default operation mode.
