  • Publication number: 20230065204
    Abstract: A method for detecting load shift of cargo on a vehicle and/or a trailer during transport, wherein cargo is restrained to the vehicle and/or the trailer by one or more restraining components. The method includes obtaining sensor data of the one or more restraining components via one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are arranged on the vehicle and/or the trailer, receiving the obtained sensor data in a controlling circuitry, comparing the received sensor data over time in the controlling circuitry in order to establish differences in the received sensor data, and determining in the controlling circuitry whether any established differences in the received sensor data meet or exceed a set threshold for the one or more restraining components, wherein the set threshold is indicative of movement in the one or more restraining components capable of allowing load shift of the cargo.

  • Publication number: 20230046707
    Abstract: A cargo restraining system for a vehicle includes an extended flexible structure movably connected to a positioning arrangement. The flexible structure is adapted for holding cargo arranged on a cargo floor of a vehicle cargo compartment in position in relation to the cargo floor, and the flexible structure is sized to cover at least a part of the cargo floor. The positioning arrangement is adapted for enabling movement of the flexible structure between a storage position and a load securing position, where in the storage position the flexible structure is adapted to be positioned on a first height from the cargo floor, and where in the load securing position the flexible structure is adapted to be positioned on a second height from the cargo floor. The first height is different from the second height.

  • Publication number: 20220416447
    Abstract: A multi-step coherent combination of signals received by multiple distributed phased antenna arrays to increase the coverage area of the distributed phase antenna arrays while decreasing the loss of such antennas, particularly in sections of a service area that traditionally are not covered by such antennas. More particularly, the solution presented herein coherently combines, in a multi-step coherent combination process, two or more data streams from two or more Phased Array Antenna Modules (PAAMs) to generate output data for the corresponding wireless device. In so doing, the solution presented herein achieves diversity gain in some scenarios, e.g., when adjacent PAAMs have partially overlapping frequency ranges, facilitates unsymmetrical BW support for uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) implementations, and/or provides service to more users.
