Abstract: A method of multi-hop relay chain formation in a wireless communication network includes discovering, via a remote electronic device, one or more other electronic devices in communication range of the remote electronic device; selecting one of the discovered electronic devices as an relay electronic device for communicating in the multi-hop relay chain; after selecting the relay electronic device, transmitting, via the remote electronic device, a request to establish a PC5 link; and establishing the PC5 link with the remote electronic device to join or form the multi-hop relay chain within the wireless communication network.

Abstract: It is recognized herein that capabilities are lacking related to how different users can be authenticated on top of an existing subscription authentication. In some examples, a user-centric authentication layer may be supported on top of an existing subscription authentication, such that different users may use the same user equipment (UE) with customized services, and different users of devices can be identified behind a gateway with a 3GPP subscription (without the devices having a dedicated 3GPP subscription). Further, a user identifier may be linked to a subscription to access 3GPP services via non-3GPP access.

Abstract: Chronic infection with retroviruses, such as HIV, induce a number of metabolic derangements. The present invention relates to a method for treating retrovirus-infected subjects with niacin compounds to reverse infection induced metabolic derangements.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for repairing intra-articular and extra-articular tissue including ligament, meniscus, cartilage, tendon, and bone. The method includes contacting the ends of an injured tissue from a patient with a composition. The repair composition includes soluble type 1 collagen, a platelet, and at least one of an extracellular protein and a neutralizing agent.

Abstract: The present invention provides siRNA methods and compositions for inhibiting HIV infection and/or replication, as well as systems for identifying effective siRNAs for inhibiting HIV and systems for studying HIV infective mechanisms. The invention also provides methods and compositions for inhibiting infection, pathogenicity and/or replication of an infectious agent; for example, by using siRNAs to inhibit host cell gene expression.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing dust from a fiber sample for subsequent analysis is disclosed. A first upper cylindrical chamber containing a fiber sample has a tangential air jet and a radial air jet installed to swirl and tumble the fiber sample in a cyclonic fashion, thus liberating the dust from the sample when either a positive or a negative pressure is applied through the air jets. The liberated dust particles are then screened out through a 100 mesh screen filter and exhausted through a funnel. The device can be equipped with a second stage chamber containing a plurality of step-stage filters and a third stage plurality of microfilters to selectively screen the dust particles. A blow bottle containing an aqueous medium to absorb even the finest dust particles or gas can also be added as a fourth stage.

Abstract: An inertia actuated warning signal device for vehicles has an inertia member supported for limited reciprocating movement in a path extending along a direction of motion of an associated accelerating and decelerating vehicle, and for rotating movement about the path of reciprocating movement simultaneously with movement along the latter mentioned path.
