  • Patent number: 11940000
    Abstract: A weld nut assembly, including: an annular flange structure; and an annular body structure coupled to the annular flange structure; wherein the annular flange structure and the annular body structure collectively define an inner bore, wherein at least a portion of the inner bore defined proximate the annular flange structure defines threads adapted to receive a screw disposed within the inner bore. The weld nut assembly further includes an annular washer or bottom structure coupled to the annular flange structure. Optionally, the weld nut assembly further includes an annular ring projection and a plurality of circumferential weld protrusions coupled to the annular flange structure. The annular flange structure is adapted to be welded to a surface of a body panel or other structure of a vehicle with the inner bore aligned with a hole formed through the body panel or other structure, the hole adapted to receive the screw therethrough.

  • Patent number: 11641288
    Abstract: A method implemented by an electronic device for sending data on low latency communication includes remote writing a sequence number of a message to be sent next to a receiver, determining whether there is an open position in a receive buffer of the receiver using a local tracking mechanism, writing data of the message to an area of an address space of a sending application that is mapped onto the receive buffer as a result of determining there is the open position in the receive buffer, incrementing a local sequence counter, and updating position information in the local tracking mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11615023
    Abstract: A processing system has at least one internal processing unit and associated memory. The memory is accessible by at least two other independent processing units, and the memory of the at least one internal processing unit includes a data structure shared by the at least two other independent processing units that are allowed to perform direct memory writes into the shared data structure. A dedicated set of one or more bits in the shared data structure is allocated to each one of the at least two other independent processing units, each bit or each group of bits in the shared data structure indicates a unique combination of independent processing unit and application handler for handling an application in relation to the corresponding independent processing unit. Preparation and/or activation of the application handler indicated by the set bit or the set group of bits is initiated.

  • Publication number: 20220268041
    Abstract: An adjustment system including an adjustable support, a driving arrangement, a locking arrangement and a motor. The adjustable support includes a base including a bore having an open mouth; a screw being movable received in the bore while having a free end configured to project past the open mouth of the bore; and a driver being arranged in driving engagement with the screw, whereby a rotation of the driver results in a linear movement of the screw along the longitudinal extension of the bore. The driving arrangement includes a driver actuator arranged to be driven by the motor. Further, a method of orienting an element relative to a reference plane is provided.
