Abstract: Tracer ammunition for tracking the trajectory and/or the impact of projectiles in the target generally contains pyrotechnics. These pyrotechnics demonstrate various disadvantages, wherein the most serious is the continued burning of the pyrotechnics, even after penetration of the projectile in the target. This causes an increased risk of fire and acute injuries. A mixture of light metal and a carbon-containing substrate, ignites during firing of a projectile and burns during its flight by means of air oxygen introduced into the combustion chamber by way of tear-off edges, and produces a tracer that extinguishes in the target.

Abstract: In a mobile network, the transmission of downlink data blocks (303, 307) to one or more terminal devices (200, 210) is accomplished on the basis of a retransmission protocol with a first feedback time (F1) defining a time interval between transmission of a first data block (303) and transmission of a first feedback message (308) being different from a second feedback time (F2) defining a time interval between transmission of a second data block (307) and transmission of a second feedback message (309). The first feedback message (308) indicates whether the first data block (303) was successfully received, and the second feedback message (309) indicates whether the second data block (307) was successfully received. A base station (100) of the mobile network controls the terminal device (200, 210) to send the second feedback message (309) on other resources than used for transmission of the first feedback message (308).

A design cover may be reversible and may have different designs on the inside various sides and surfaces of the design cover. As many as four designs may be displayed depending on the orientation and configuration of the design cover over the rigid panel. A bumper panel may be suspended from mount fixtures or retained along a wall or other object by mount brackets.

Abstract: A semiconductor package system comprises a semiconductor package and a cap. The semiconductor package comprises a die pad, a chip mounted or arranged to a first main face of the die pad and an encapsulation body encapsulating the chip and the die pad. The cap covers at least partly an exposed second main face of the die pad. The cap comprises a cap body of an electrically insulating and thermally conductive material and a fastening system fastening the cap to the semiconductor package. The fastening system extends from the cap body towards the encapsulation body or along a side surface of the semiconductor package.

Abstract: An external chassis wall liquid cooling system includes a chassis defining a chassis housing. A chassis wall is located on the chassis and includes a first surface that is located adjacent the chassis housing and a second surface that is located opposite the chassis wall from the first surface and that provides an outer surface of the chassis. A liquid cooling channel is defined by the chassis wall and extends through the chassis wall between the first surface and the second surface. A liquid is located in the liquid cooling channel, and a pump is coupled to the liquid cooling channel and configured to move the liquid through the liquid cooling channel. A fan system in the chassis housing may move air past heat producing components to transfer heat produced by those heat producing components, and the liquid may further dissipate that heat out of the chassis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method in a cellular communication system, for avoiding errors in a HARQ process, wherein an NDI flag is used both for indicating either semi-persistent scheduling, SPS activation or SPS retransmissions, and also for indicating, by toggling of the flag, a new transmission in dynamic scheduling mode. The method comprises the steps of receiving, in a scheduling message, an indication that dynamically scheduled transmission will take place; if a semi persistent resource has occurred for the same HARQ process since a previously received indication for dynamically scheduled transmission, then considering the NDI flag to be toggled regardless of the value of the NDI flag. Thus, if the condition is fulfilled, a UE will always regard the NDI flag as indicating or requesting a new data transmission.

Abstract: A joystick includes a mechanism for facilitating the changing of a grip assembly. An actuation mechanism moves a ram into a position where the operator can press down on a locking pin to release the grip assembly. The ram will be in a default position that does not interfere with the operations of the joystick during normal operation. A relatively low amount of force is used to place the ram into position as the force needed to press down on the locking pin comes from the operator. A small electromagnetic that does not interfere with the joystick operations can be used in the actuation mechanism.
