Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from an improved signaling protocol. For example, machine type communications may benefit from improved scheduling signaling. A method includes receiving at a user equipment a signal comprising a radio configuration time trace from a base station. The radio configuration time trace parameter defines future, time-limited radio configuration options for a user equipment. The method also includes determining at the user equipment a radio access action based on access action based on the received radio configuration options. In addition, the method includes using the radio configuration options to carry out the determined radio access action.

Abstract: A system and method for electronic greeting cards includes receiving a selection of a background image, obtaining visual media to overlay on the background image, obtaining a personal message to overlay on the background image, obtaining a signature to overlay on the background image, and displaying the electronic greeting card. Displaying the electronic greeting card includes displaying the background image, displaying the visual media over a first portion of the background image, displaying the personal message over a second portion of the background image, and displaying the signature over the background image. In some embodiments the visual media is a drawing including a sequence of drawing strokes recorded when the drawing was obtained. In some embodiments, the personal message is displayed as text at a reading speed. In some embodiments, the signature includes a sequence of strokes captured when the signature was obtained.

Abstract: Ebolavirus is a highly lethal filovirus that causes hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. With no approved treatments or preventatives, the development of an anti-ebolavirus therapy to protect against natural infections and potential weaponization is an urgent unmet global health need. The design, biophysical characterization, and validation of peptide mimics of the ebolavirus N-trimer (“N-trimer mimics”) are described herein.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved network access. For example, communication systems may benefit from deriving a radio network temporary identification at both a user equipment and a base station, without requiring additional uplink signaling. A method, in certain embodiments, may include sending a short identification from a user equipment to a base station during a contention based access instance. The short identification is generated based on an initial cell radio network temporary identification. The method may also include receiving at the user equipment a user equipment radio network temporary identification from the base station. The user equipment radio network temporary identification is based on the short identification. In addition, the method may include generating at the user equipment a subsequent cell radio network temporary identification based at least on the short identification and the received user equipment radio network temporary identification.
