  • Patent number: 11583950
    Abstract: In a method of applying a weld to a target surface, a guide rail arrangement is attached to the target, the guide rail arrangement including at least one guide rail. A weld head carriage having a carriage housing, a rail follower assembly, and a sonotrode is movably mounted to the guide rail arrangement so that the follower assembly engages each guide rail for movement there-along. The weld head carriage is positioned adjacent the target surface, feedstock material is deposited onto the target surface, and the sonotrode is extended to engage the deposited feedstock material and apply a welding force to the feedstock material and the target. Relative movement between the carriage and the guide rail arrangement is initiated and ultrasonic vibrations are conducted into the feedstock material and the target, thereby welding the feedstock material to the target surface.

  • Publication number: 20220417785
    Abstract: Systems and methods for Quality of Service (QoS) mapping based on latency and throughput are provided. A method performed by a first node for mapping Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) streams includes: receiving traffic class specific information for one or more TSN streams; and determining a set of one or more 5G QoS flows to support the traffic class. This provides solutions where 5QI table entries configured by a 5GS can result in underproviding or overproviding the payload capacity made available to support the traffic class. If less payload space is provided, then TSN stream payload corresponding to the traffic class will be lost. If more space is provided, then radio interface resources will be used inefficiently. As such, the solutions identified herein allow for more efficient use of radio interface resources associated with a 5G QoS flow used to support a set of TSN streams corresponding to a TSN traffic class.

  • Publication number: 20220418046
    Abstract: A novel solid-state heating element is disclosed. The heating element comprises a plurality of heating layers comprised of a mixture of carbon and a polymer or plastic. The heating layers are disposed on or infused into a substrate. Each heating layer can be disposed on, or infused into, its own substrate, or the heating layers can be disposed on or infused into opposites sides of the same substrate. A radiating element can be disposed in proximity to one or both of the heating layers. The radiating element absorbs the radiation put out by the heating layer(s) and reradiates heat. A heat transfer fluid such as air or a liquid can be directed across the radiating element and/or other areas of the heating element to transfer heat from the heating element to another location.
