Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for uplink power control of a terminal device. A method is performed in a network serving the terminal device. The method comprises estimating average total uplink transmit power for the terminal device. The method comprises determining a dynamic power threshold from the average total uplink transmit power according to a back-off power control loop. In the back-off power control loop, a setpoint value of total average transmission power is compared with a value of the estimated average total uplink transmit power. The method comprises setting a value of a power regulating parameter as function of the dynamic power threshold. The method comprises providing the value of the power regulating parameter to the terminal device for uplink power control of the terminal device.

Abstract: A pickup mechanism for feeding of weld pins from a magazine to a welding electrode of a welding gun, where the pickup mechanism is attachable to the welding gun in connection to the welding electrode, and where the magazine is attachable to the pickup mechanism, the pickup mechanism comprises a movable pickup lever arm displaceable between a pickup position and a delivery position, where the pickup lever arm is adapted for displacing the weld pin from a pickup position in the magazine to a welding position at the welding electrode; wherein the pickup lever arm has a pickup part comprising a feeding portion for feeding the weld pins from the pickup position to the welding position, where the pickup part comprises a retrieving portion arranged with a sliding surface for displacing the pickup lever arm in a direction essentially perpendicular to the direction of the movement between the delivery position and the pickup position when the sliding surface is in contact with a first weld pin in the magazine, and whe
