Patent number: 11973683Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a communication node for handling packets in a communication network, which communication network is an ICN network. The communication node adds a time stamp to a packet, which packet is requesting content of a service or comprises at least a part of the content of the service and is of a format associated with the ICN network, and which time stamp is added into an ICN header of the packet. Furthermore, the communication node transmits the packet with the added time stamp towards another communication node.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Rafia Inam, Lian Araujo, Hongxin Liang, Neiva Linder, Leonid Mokrushin, Aneta Vulgarakis Feljan, Keven Wang

Patent number: 11671024Abstract: A switched mode power supply includes a power circuit and a control circuit coupled to the power circuit for regulating its output voltage. The control circuit is configured to generate a control signal for at least one power switch of the power circuit using a reference voltage, determine if a duty cycle of the control signal is within a defined range, sense one or more output parameters of the power circuit including the output voltage of the power circuit, and in response to determining the duty cycle of the control signal is outside the defined range, adjust the reference voltage to adjust the duty cycle of the control signal. The reference voltage is adjustable over time to thereby linearly adjust the output voltage of the power circuit. Other example switched mode power supplies, control circuits, and methods for regulating output voltages of switched mode power supplies are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Astec International LimitedInventors: Lian Liang, Bing Zhang, Mei Qin, Wenyong Liu, Zhishuo Li
