Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for rapid user equipment route selection policy rule processing. A method includes determining an applicable routing policy based on user equipment route selection policy (URSP) rules for an established protocol data unit (PDU) session and storing PDU session information with the established uplink PDU session in a cache. The method further includes examining subsequent uplink packets for PDU session information and checking the cache for an established PDU session with matching uplink PDU session information. The method additionally includes routing the subsequent uplink packets to the established PDU session having the matching PDU session information, causing the subsequent uplink packet to be processed in accordance with the applicable routing policy as previously determined based on the URSP rules.
Abstract: A door system includes a header having a guide rail that has a central portion having a notch. A panel hanger is slidably coupled to the header. A door panel has a handle end portion releasably coupled to the panel hanger and a pivot end portion pivotably coupled to the panel hanger. The panel hanger and the door panel slide in unison between a closed position and a fully open position along a longitudinal plane. An interlock plate is positioned to extend upwardly from the door panel, and has a downwardly extending guide slot that slidably receives the guide rail of the header. When the door panel is in the fully open position, the interlock plate is aligned with the notch of the guide rail of the header in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal plane to facilitate a pivoting of the door panel away from the longitudinal plane.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a pivot structure, a seat and a bushing. The pivot structure has at least one link member that includes a pivot pin extending through an opening in the at least one link member. The pivot pin defines a pivot axis about which the at least one link member pivots. The seat is attached to the pivot structure. The pivot structure and the seat are configured to move between a seating or in-use orientation and a rear access orientation. The bushing is fitted into the opening of the at least one link member with the pivot pin extending through the bushing. The bushing is configured to deflect in response to movement of the link member relative to the pivot pin.
