  • Publication number: 20240402579
    Abstract: A camera arrangement comprises a camera head, a holder ring and a holder base. The camera head has an imaging unit and an interaction portion with constant cross section. The camera holder ring has an inner surface configured to fit onto the interaction portion of the camera head, and the camera holder base has a receptacle orifice dimensioned to receive the camera holder ring fitted onto the interaction portion of the camera head and grip an outer surface of the holder ring. The receptacle orifice has reduced dimensions due to a tightening function to fixate the camera holder ring and the camera head in relation to the camera holder base, and thereby to fixate an orientation of the camera in relation to the camera holder base. The camera holder ring is movable along a length of the interaction portion until the tightening function of the receptacle orifice has been actuated.

  • Patent number: 12149923
    Abstract: One way to increase robustness against beam pair link failure is by transmitting downlink (DL) control signaling (e.g., PDCCH) in more than one beam. That is, one way to mitigate BPLF is for the UE to receive DL control signaling over both a first BPL (e.g., active BPL) and a second BPL (e.g., monitored BPL) but with larger duty cycle for the second BPL compared to the first BPL. For example, the control signaling can be scheduled every slot on the first BPL and scheduled every Nth slot on the second BPL. In this way, in case the first BPL is blocked and the UE cannot decode the control signaling on the first BPL, the UE can receive control signaling transmitted on the second BPL.
