  • Patent number: 11395184
    Abstract: A receiver receives a data packet with a header and a payload. The payload includes at least one full service data unit, one or two service data unit fragments, or at least one full service data unit and at least one service data unit fragment, where a service data unit fragment is only located (i) at the beginning of the payload or at the end of the payload or (ii) at the beginning of the payload and at the end of the payload. The header includes a single field consisting of a first bit and a second bit, even when a number of full service data units and service data unit fragments in the payload is more than two, the single field indicating whether (i) the payload begins with a fragment of a service data unit and (ii) the payload ends with a service data unit fragment. Digital signal processing circuitry processes the header to determine processing for the payload.

  • Patent number: 10674401
    Abstract: A data packet comprises a header and a payload. At least one digital signal processor is used to configure the payload to transport at least one full service data unit, one or two service data unit fragments, or at least one full service data unit and at least one service data unit fragment. A service data unit fragment is only located (i) at the beginning of the payload or at the end of the payload or (ii) at the beginning of the payload and at the end of the payload. At least one digital signal processor is used to configure a single field in the header consisting of a first bit and a second bit, even when a number of full service data units and service data unit fragments in the payload is more than two, the single field indicating whether (i) the payload begins with a fragment of a service data unit and (ii) the payload ends with a service data unit fragment. At least one digital signal processor is used to form the data packet including the configured header and the configured payload.

  • Patent number: 9321425
    Abstract: An airbag includes a first chamber, a second chamber, and a gas flow channel connecting the two chambers. A valve is located inside the gas flow channel allows an unthrottled gas stream from the first chamber to the second chamber when a pressure inside the first chamber is higher than a pressure in the second chamber and blocks or throttles the gas stream through the gas flow channel when the pressure inside the second chamber is higher than in the first chamber. The valve includes a two-layered inlay extending from a first end pointing towards the first chamber to a second end pointing towards the second chamber. The two-layered inlay is connected to the gas flow channel at its first end via at least two connecting points being remote from each other.

  • Patent number: 8136834
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle seat (1) having an upholstered component (3) which is covered by flexible covering (4), and a safety device which is arranged in the upholstered component (3) and has an airbag (5) which is coupled to a gas generator (6). The gas generator (6) is activated when sensor data relating to an accident or an imminent accident are present to inflate the airbag (5) with gas and unfold the airbag. An activator (8) is provided by means of which the airbag (5) or separate gas cushion (7) can be additionally repeatedly inflated with gas in a reversible fashion. The covering (4) is of an inelastic design, at least in certain areas, and has an elastic section (9) which is arranged in the covering (4).

  • Patent number: 8125962
    Abstract: In a mobile terminal of a wireless communication system, such as UMTS or any future communication system, the actual reception quality of data received on a broadcast channel, such as BCCH or MTCH, is measured. Based on the measurement result, a report is prepared and sent to a radio network controller, which controls the transmission on the broadcast channel. The report does not contain the identifier of the mobile terminal. Therefore the reporting can be accomplished without informing the radio network controller about the identity of the mobile terminal.
