  • Patent number: 11761573
    Abstract: Display assemblies for supporting displays on stands or support arms have mount portions to removably attach to the displays using magnetic assemblies and latches. The magnetic assemblies and latches can improve user experience and allow the display to be installed on a support arm from the viewing side of the display and without having to see or reach behind the display. Magnetic structures can center a mount portion of the support arm and a recess of the display and can attract them to each other. Laterally-extending latches can ensure the display is not inadvertently removed. Locking mechanisms can prevent the display from being rotated to a portrait orientation when sufficient space around the display and the necessary user intent is not provided.

  • Publication number: 20230280195
    Abstract: A method includes registering a first mass flow rate portion measurement value m?1 of a first flow portion through measuring tubes of a first oscillator and a second mass flow rate portion measurement value m?2 of a second flow portion through measuring tubes of the second oscillator. A sum of the two mass flow rate portion measurement values gives a mass flow rate total measurement value. The method also includes registering first and second density portion measurement values ?1, ?2 of the medium in the flow portions and calculating the effective density measurement value ?eff as a function of the density portion measurement values ?1, ?2 with weightings dependent on the mass flow rate portion measurement values m?1, m?2. The different weighting functions are applied for ascertaining the weightings as a function of the mass flow rate portion measurement values.

  • Publication number: 20230262734
    Abstract: This disclosure describes an architecture for supporting MBS sessions in a wireless access network. Each of such MBS sessions is flexibly and dynamically delivered by the access network into one or more Point-To-Point (PTP, or unicast) and Point-To-Multipoint (PTM, or multicast) delivery instances. As such, a subset of the UEs participating in the MBS may be configured to receive the MBS session in a PTP-like manner and quality. The architecture further allows for access network level switching of one or more of the UEs participating in the MBS session between the PTP mode and PTM mode. Such switching are effectuated dynamically without involvement of application layer. The resource allocations and configuration for the PTP and PTM delivery instances may be performed in the access network collaboratively between a central unit (CU) and one or more distributed units (DUs).
