Abstract: Various solutions for data transmission over multiple uplink carrier with respect to user equipment (UE) in mobile communications are described. A UE may establish a connection over a downlink component carrier and a first uplink component carrier with a network apparatus. The UE may further establish a connection over a second uplink component carrier with the network apparatus. The UE may transmit uplink data to the network apparatus via at least one of the first uplink component carrier and the second uplink component carrier. The UE may also assign the first uplink component carrier as a primary carrier and assigning the second uplink component carrier as a supplementary carrier. The UE may further switch the primary carrier from the first uplink component carrier to the second uplink component carrier.

Abstract: The embodiment of the invention is to innovate immunogenic CoV-2, CoV-n B cell epitopes, which are selected from the loop regions constrained by the two constraining beta strands; or between one beta strand and one alpha-helical strand; or between two alpha-helical strands of CoV-2, CoV-n proteins, and such selected loops replace the native loops of the thermostable protein scaffolds, which provide thermostable constraint of the transplanted CoV-2, CoV-n loop antigens as well as CD4 helper T cell determinants to elicit CD4 dependent neutralizing and blocking antibodies against viral entry, replication and viral clearance. The B cell loops can be cleaved and processed as CD8 T cell epitopes for eliciting cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against and clear viral infected cells. MHCI viral peptide epitopes in nonamers, octamers, or decamers will be used as peptide vaccines along with viral CD4 helper peptide epitopes.

Abstract: A cable connector includes a conductive terminal having a positioning wall and a piercing wall. The piercing wall can pierce an outer insulating sheath of a thin cable to be electrically connected to an inner core of the cable. The positioning wall can position the thin cable to reduce bending or dislocation of the thin cable caused by a force and thus minimize pulling of the core. This ensures electrical connection between the piercing wall and the core of the thin cable, and also prevents the core from being damaged or broken by any pulling force.

Abstract: Galectin-3 is a pro-inflammatory molecule functioning as a cytokine hub, and also regulates unfolded protein responses (UPR) and ER stress. Thus, galectin-3 serves as a target for ameliorating inflammatory diseases such as allergic inflammation and diabetic inflammation and insulin resistance. RNA interference of endogenous galectin-3 expression, upregulates IL-12, IL-10 while downregulating IL-23 production, which offers protection against allergic inflammation. In addition, endogenous galectin-3 knockdown causes upregulation of XBP1, alleviating ER stress. Together, upregulated XBP1 and IL-10 offer protection against obesity-induced inflammation. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention resides in RNA interference of endogenous galectin-3 in appropriate cell types in order to rectify allergic and/or diabetic inflammation.

Abstract: A method to speed up uplink data access during a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration procedure is proposed. UE first sends an RRC request, and in response receives an RRC reconfiguration message from BS. UE then decodes the RRC reconfiguration message and performs reconfiguration. UE also waits for UL grant for transmitting RRC reconfiguration complete with UL data if available. In one embodiment, BS provides the UL grant in a common search space while UE is performing the reconfiguration, and UE does not need to wait the UL grant until after the reconfiguration is done. In other words, the reconfiguration and the UL grant occurs in parallel, which reduces access delay for UL data. In an alternative embodiment, BS provides UL grant in RRC reconfiguration message, so that UE does not have to receive UL grant while performing the reconfiguration.

Also, the controller allows the UE to access the cell in response to the UE supporting network-based CRS interference mitigation and the second barring information indicating that the cell is not barred.
