  • Patent number: 11180020
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device (12) for controlling an air flow (F) circulating in a first heat exchanger (4) for a motor vehicle comprising at least two screens (14), the control device (12) being configured to go from a closed configuration in which the screens (14) obstruct the passage of the air flow (F) completely to an open configuration in which the screens (14) are positioned in such a manner as to allow the air flow (F) to pass with a maximum flow rate, and any intermediate configuration. According to the invention, the two screens (14) are adapted to be moved away from one another when the control device (12) goes from the closed configuration to the open configuration and to be moved toward one another when the control device (12) goes from the open configuration to the closed configuration.

  • Patent number: 11093349
    Abstract: An information handling system stores logs in a volatile log buffer for a pre-determined time, and monitors the logs in the log buffer in real-time. The system parses the logs to detect a triggering event, wherein the triggering event is one of an error event, a fatal event, or a critical event. In response to detecting the triggering event, the system stores debug level logs in a non-volatile storage device. If the predetermined time is reached, then the system determines whether to discard the logs or to store the logs in the non-volatile storage device. In response to a determination to discard the logs, the logs in the log buffer may be discarded.

  • Publication number: 20200396155
    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.
