  • Patent number: 12004181
    Abstract: A Central Unit-Control Plane (CU-CP) of a radio access network (RAN) node can operate in a communication network to dynamically schedule user-plane (UP) communications. The CU-CP can be communicatively coupled to a Distributed Unit (DU) and a Central Unit-User-Plane (CU-UP) of the RAN node. The CU-CP can provide indication of one or more available UP paths to at least one network element. The at least one network element can include one or more of: a user equipment, UE; the CU-UP of the RAN node; and/or the DU of the RAN node. The CU-CP can provide indication of a scheduling strategy for data transmissions to the at least one network element.

  • Publication number: 20190180787
    Abstract: A method comprises obtaining a playlist that comprises a plurality of audio items. The playlist is divided into a plurality of coherent groups. Each coherent group comprises a respective sequence of audio items of the plurality of audio items with a common attribute. For a respective coherent group of the plurality of coherent groups, a parameter value of a first audio item of the respective sequence is determined, a parameter value of a second audio item of the respective sequence is adjusted based on the determined parameter value of the first audio item, and a transition media item is formed. The transition media item corresponds to a transition between the first and second audio items that are adjacent in the respective sequence. The transition media item is provided to a second electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20060141821
    Abstract: A power terminal for electrical connection of an electric cable to a circuit board comprises a main body (8a) having a central longitudinal axis and means (12, 12a) for attaching a cable to the main body. An eccentric body (8b) integral with the main body (8a) and having a through hole (13) is arranged to receive a screw. A space (20) is provided at the bottom of the power terminal adjacent to the eccentric body. This configuration provides a means for securing the terminal in an easy and efficient way while also providing for mounting of a current measuring device, for example.

  • Publication number: 20060061969
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement comprises a circuit board (10), a semi-conductor (12) provided on a first side of the circuit board, and a heat sink (15) provided on a second side of the circuit board opposite to the first side and in heat transferring contact with the power semi-conductor. A heat conductive element (13) is provided in a hole (10a) in the circuit board, wherein the heat conductive element is positioned in heat transferring contact with both the semi-conductor and the heat sink for transfer of heat generated by the semi-conductor to the heat sink. A circuit arrangement is provided, wherein the provision of a low thermal resistance path through the circuit board by means of heat conductive elements provides a compact circuit arrangement well suited for assembly by means of an automated surface mounting process.

  • Patent number: 6224940
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for manufacturing coated sleeves, whereby the sleeve is positioned vertically and held stationary, while a feed pipe is introduced from below, by vertical displacement, concentrically into the sleeve. Also from below, an excess of fluid is supplied under pressure, through the feed pipe. The fluid is allowed to emanate from an upper end outlet of the feed pipe and allowed to flow by gravity in the small gap which is formed between the feed pipe and the internal walls of the sleeve. The internal walls of the sleeve are thereby coated with the fluid, while at the same time, the coating of the outside of the sleeve is prevented. The invention also relates to a writing pen comprising a coated sleeve.
