Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for communicating a hybrid user equipment with an Internet server, whereby a hybrid access gateway receives a multi-path request from a user plane system, transmits the multipath request toward an Internet server, and receives a corresponding response from the Internet server. If the received response is a single-path response, the hybrid access gateway assumes the Internet server does not support multi-path, activates a proxy function for the session and transmits a multi-path response for the received single-path response toward the user plane system, and the latter marks transmitting further multi-path requests for this session toward the hybrid access gateway.

Abstract: Novel Fusidic Acid (FA) based compounds that have equivalent potency against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) as well as an improved resistance profile in vitro when compared to FA. Importantly, the new compounds display efficacy against a FA-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus in a soft-tissue murine infection model. This disclosure delineates the structural features of FA necessary for potent antibiotic activity and demonstrates that the resistance profile can be improved for this scaffold and target.

Abstract: A piercing conduit to deliver medications to a user in a painless method including a placement phase, an inserting phase and an injection phase which are performed by the piercing conduit. The placement phase includes a penetrating bottom distal end of the piercing conduit which is inserted through a user's skin of the abdomen portion to place a middle aperture in the inside of the user's skin and then leave exposed the penetrating bottom distal end and a top distal end. The inserting phase passes through a sealing cap from the top distal end which has an aperture in which a needle is inserted along a conduit portion and then reaches the middle aperture that is placed inside of the user's skin. The injection phase delivers the medication with the syringe by the needle allowing to apply medication in a painless method. The piercing conduit is configured to be applied to users with constant medication such as diabetes or dialysis.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device maintains a buffer of historical telemetry data of a particular type of telemetry. The device obtains new telemetry data of the particular type of telemetry. The device makes a state evaluation by comparing the new telemetry data to the buffer, to determine whether the new telemetry data is an outlier. The device sends a message indicative of the new telemetry data to a message bus for delivery to a recipient that is not subscribed to receive telemetry data of the particular type of telemetry, when the device determines that the new telemetry data is an outlier.
