  • Patent number: 11799838
    Abstract: A device may monitor traffic associated with a user equipment (UE) on multiple interfaces of a network. The device may determine an identity associated with the UE or the traffic on the multiple interfaces by correlating identifiers associated with the UE or the traffic across the multiple interfaces. The identity may uniquely identify a subscriber associated with the UE or the traffic. The device may determine a set of elements to be used to decipher the traffic after determining the identity associated with the UE or the traffic. The device may decipher the traffic utilizing the set of elements after determining the set of elements.

  • Patent number: 11067644
    Abstract: A wearable audio device with an electro-acoustic transducer that is configured to create audio output. The transducer has a transducer magnet that produces a transducer magnetic field having a magnetic field strength, and a magnetic structure such as a cup that guides the transducer magnetic field. The transducer magnet is on the inside of the magnetic structure. There is a magnetic field sensor outside of the magnetic structure; the magnetic field sensor is constructed and arranged to sense the Earth's magnetic field. A nulling magnet is coupled to or proximate the outside of the magnetic structure and is constructed and arranged to produce a nulling magnetic field that reduces the strength of the transducer magnetic field at the magnetic field sensor.

  • Patent number: 10295116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a clamping arrangement (24) for attaching a structural component (22) to a structural member. The structural member comprises a planar part (18) defined between two substantially parallel faces and a bulb (20) on one side only of the planar part, the bulb defining a sole surface (32) substantially orthogonal to the planar part, an oblique surface (34) and a rounded surface (36) between the sole surface and the oblique surface. The clamping arrangement (24) comprises a first clamping part (38) configured to abut against the face of the planar part directed away from the bulband to extend underneath the sole surface. The clamping arrangement (24) also comprises a second clamping part (40) defining an oblique surface which abuts against the oblique surface of the bulb.

  • Publication number: 20180179781
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a handrail arrangement. The handrail arrangement comprises a handrail defining a grippable exterior surface and a recess in the handrail. The handrail arrangement also comprises an attachment device (40, 42) which is receivable in part in the recess defined in the handrail, the attachment device being configured in respect of a part not received in the recess to be attached to a handrail support (32). The handrail comprises first and second parts (34, 36) which are configured to releasably attach to each other, the first and second parts when attached to each other defining a substantially continuous exterior surface of the handrail in a circumferential direction, the first part defining more than 180 degrees of the circumference of the exterior surface of the handrail and the second part defining less than 180 degrees of the circumference of the exterior surface of the handrail.

  • Publication number: 20050111673
    Abstract: An apparatus for reducing baffle vibration includes a baffle that is subject to vibration. A first transducer that is seated in the baffle includes a first diaphragm that is acoustically coupled to a listening area in a vehicle and also acoustically coupled to a cavity in the vehicle. A first input signal applied to the first transducer causes the first diaphragm to move in a first direction, thereby generating an acoustic output. A second transducer is mechanically coupled to the first transducer. The second transducer includes a second diaphragm that is acoustically coupled to the first diaphragm and also acoustically coupled to the listening area. A second input signal applied to the second transducer causes the second diaphragm to move in a second direction that is substantially opposite to the first direction to reduce a vibration imparted to the baffle while substantially maintaining the acoustic output.
