  • Patent number: 11945517
    Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle includes a front subframe having two frame rails and a control arm connector on each frame rail. The assembly includes a panel supported on the frame rails and spaced vehicle-rearward of the control arm connector. The panel extends cross-vehicle from one of the frame rails to the other of the frame rails. The panel includes a channel elongated along the vehicle-longitudinal axis. The assembly includes a vehicle component spaced vehicle-rearward of the panel. The channel is aimed at the vehicle component.

  • Publication number: 20230195980
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for integrated circuit design using integrated circuit shells. For example, a system may generate an integrated circuit core design expressed in a hardware description language. The integrated circuit core design may express circuitry that describes one or more functions to be included in an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The one or more functions may have connection points providing first inputs and outputs to the one or more functions. The system may query an integrated circuit shell expressed in a hardware description language. The integrated circuit shell may express circuitry that describes a limited set of pads to be implemented in the ASIC. The limited set of pads may provide second inputs and outputs to the integrated circuit. The query may determine availability of pads of the limited set of pads to connect to the connection points of the one or more functions.

  • Publication number: 20220286950
    Abstract: A method for managing mobile terminated (MT)-service information to a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) user equipment (UE) over non-3rd generation partnership project (N3GPP) access in a wireless communication network is provided. The method includes determining, by the multi-SIM UE, an on-going service on a first SIM of the multi-SIM UE over a 3GPP access; and managing, by the multi-SIM UE, the MT-service information for a second SIM of the multi-SIM UE using the N3GPP access based on the on-going service on the 3GPP access of the first SIM of the multi-SIM UE.

  • Publication number: 20220256632
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein provide a method for PALS in a communication network by a UE. The method comprises: establishing a connection with a host network apparatus of the communication network; establishing a connection with a home network apparatus of the communication network; selecting at least one of the home network apparatus or the host network apparatus to access at least one of a multicast service delivery mode, a unicast service delivery mode, or a broadcast service delivery mode based on service prioritization at the UE; and receiving content disseminated from the at least one of the home network apparatus or the host network apparatus over the at least one of the multicast service delivery mode, the unicast service delivery mode, or the broadcast service delivery mode in the communication network.

  • Patent number: 10305912
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling access to electronic collaboration content data associated with a plurality of organizations. The system includes one or more databases storing the electronic collaboration content data. An identity aggregator receives a request for access to the electronic collaboration content data from an individual's client device and determines an internal user identifier of the individual, that represents an aggregate identity of the individual corresponding to at least one of organizational identities or external identities. A content access manager maps the internal user identifier to content permissions associated with the individual across each organization that is associated with the individual and the external content services associated with the individual.

  • Patent number: 8414027
    Abstract: A seat belt tensioner for motor vehicle, having a belt shaft (12) rotatably supported in housing as a carrier of a seat belt wound thereon and with a tensioner drive coupled thereto by a metal strip (18), the drive rotatable driving the belt shaft (12) when triggered by action on the metal strip (18) and the movement thereof, the metal band (18) before triggering the tensioning drive (10) surrounds an extension (13) of the belt shaft. The metal strip (18) is wound around the extension (13) of the belt shaft (12) in at least one winding turn serving as winding supply (20) for the movement thereof. The winding reserve (20) is held at a radial gap (21) to the extension (13) of the belt shaft (12) by a holding element (22) releasing the metal band (18) in case of tensile force acting on the metal strip caused by activation of the belt tensioner causing the metal stripto engage and rotate the belt shaft extension.

  • Publication number: 20100313133
    Abstract: A method is provided for using a wireless controller to interact with a user interface presented on a display. The method includes receiving an audio signal and a position signal from the wireless controller. The audio signal is based on an audio input applied to the wireless controller, while the position signal is based on a position input applied to the wireless controller. The method includes selecting a user interface item displayed on the display, based on the audio signal and the position signal. One or more position signals from the wireless controller may also be received and processed to cause navigation of the user interface to highlight a user interface item for selection.
