Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of treating a tumor with a nucleotide vaccine (e.g., DNA vaccine encoding a tumor antigen) in combination with an IL-7. In some aspects, the IL-7 is administered after the administration of the nucleotide vaccine (e.g., after the peak expansion phase of the tumor-specific T cell immune response) or concurrently with the nucleotide vaccine.

Abstract: The present invention disclosed a method and system of replacing smart cards. It uses a new identification device (a new SIM) to replace an old one (an old SIM) associated with a user account. The new identification device has an identification number (ICCID). The new identification device is activated in the following manner. The old identification device communicates with an identification-management center through a communication interface (mobile telephone). And the identification-management center recognizes the old identification device. The identification number of the new identification device is sent to the identification-management center through the communication interface. The identification-management center checks the identification number. If the identification number is correct, the user account will be assigned to the new identification device by the identification-management center.

Abstract: An identity module is activated in the following manner. A customization center stores an initial identity code in the identity module and communicates the initial identity code to a network management system. A distributor assigns a communication address to the identity module and communicates the communication address together with the initial identity code to the network management system. The identity module contacts the network management system via a communication device, whereby the network management system receives the initial identity code together with the communication address. The network management system recognizes the initial identity code together with the communication address and, in response, assigns an effective identity code to the identity module. Subsequently, the network management system sends a message to the communication device. This message comprises the effective identity code.

Abstract: An SMS-based wireless value-added service implementation method and system. The method comprises the steps of: disassembling a wireless value-added service into command identifiers for commands and corresponding information bodies at the service provider side, said information bodies including information required for the commands and service related information; combining each of said command identifiers and corresponding information body into a command body, and inserting a logic sequence identifier that indicates the logic sequence of the commands into the command body, then assembling the command bodies into a short message. The service server sends the short message to the mobile terminal, and the interpretation program in SIM card of the mobile terminal interprets the short message into corresponding commands and information which have a logical sequence and can be executed in the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal executes the commands based on the logic sequence, and displays the information.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting caps onto fluid containers in a predetermined particular orientation relative to the fluid containers. Caps are drawn from a source of caps and placed singly, in succession, on a cap seat which is in a particular known orientation. Each cap is taken, while on the cap seat, to a delivery position. During transfer to the delivery position, each cap is aligned into a known particular orientation. A device for picking up the caps takes each cap from the cap seat to a container and mounts the cap onto a waiting fluid container, in the desired predetermined orientation with respect to the fluid container. The device includes an operatively associated clamp that supports the fluid container about a flange around the neck to prevent crushing of the fluid container during mounting of the caps.
