  • Publication number: 20200165814
    Abstract: A sealing system for improved heat resistance in a partition wall. A frame element forms an enclosed passage, with the frame element formed by a substantially flat member arranged perpendicular to the partition wall such that a shoulder extending from the partition wall is formed wherein the space within the frame element and the second section is to be fitted with insert blocks of a fire resistant material fitted around cable, etc. for sealing therearound. An extension element encloses the shoulder of the frame element and extends the enclosed passage for the cable, etc. The extension element includes a first and a second section. The first section includes a first fastening arrangement for attaching the extension element to the shoulder. The second section is formed so that an extended enclosed passage formed by the second section is substantially equal to the enclosed passage formed by the frame element.

  • Patent number: 10528110
    Abstract: A method in a wireless communication device for diagnosing power supply failure in the wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device detects (301) an indication of power supply failure in the wireless communication device. When the indication of the power supply failure further indicates a non-active state of the wireless communication device or when the wireless communication device enters an error handling mode, the wireless communication device collects (302) diagnostic data from the PMU by means of a diagnostic engine (215) in the PMU. The wireless communication device then stores (303) the collected diagnostic data to a memory in the PMU. The data is related to the event resulting in the non-active state and/or to the latest event in a system of the wireless communication device or when the wireless communication device enters an error handling mode.

  • Patent number: 8568572
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for very low pressure high powered magnetron sputtering of a coating onto a substrate. By the method of this invention, both substrate and coating target material are placed into an evacuable chamber, and the chamber pumped to vacuum. Thereafter a series of high impulse voltage pulses are applied to the target. Nearly simultaneously with each pulse, in one embodiment, a small cathodic arc source of the same material as the target is pulsed, triggering a plasma plume proximate to the surface of the target to thereby initiate the magnetron sputtering process. In another embodiment the plasma plume is generated using a pulsed laser aimed to strike an ablation target material positioned near the magnetron target surface.
