Abstract: A locking assembly for a door assembly of an agricultural vehicle includes: an actuator that defines an actuator axis and is linearly movable between a first position and a second position and rotatable about the actuator axis between a first locking orientation and a second locking orientation and includes a pair of locking features; a biaser configured to bias the actuator toward the first position; an energizer configured to bias the actuator toward the first locking orientation when the actuator is in the second locking orientation; and a lock configured to engage a second locking feature when the actuator is in the second locking orientation. Linear movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position while the actuator is in the second locking orientation causes the lock to disengage from the second locking feature so the energizer rotates the actuator towards the first locking orientation.

Abstract: Techniques and devices for determining a preferred physical layer for communication by a node in a Thread network are described. The node transmits a first IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks, 6LoWPAN, frame to a neighbor node using a first physical layer and transmits the first 6LoWPAN frame to the neighbor node using a second physical layer. The node determines a first preference value for the neighbor node using the first physical layer and determines a second preference value for the neighbor node using the second physical layer. The node compares the first preference value and the second preference value to determine the preferred physical layer for communication and transmits a second 6LoWPAN frame to the neighbor node using the preferred physical layer.

Abstract: In various embodiments, an entity may provide a WebView where a transaction between an entity and a data subject may be performed. As described herein, the transaction may involve the collection or processing of personal data associated with the data subject by the entity as part of a processing activity undertaken by the entity that the data subject is consenting to as part of the transaction. Additionally, the entity may provide a native application where the transactions between the entity and a data subject may be performed. In some embodiments, the system may be configured to share consent data between the WebView and the native application so data subjects experience a seamless transition while using either the WebView or the native application, and the data subjects are not required to go through a consent workflow for each of the WebView and the native application.
