  • Patent number: 12201335
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a system that includes a plate holder and an awl. The plate holder has a first end and a second end with an engagement feature at the second end that is engageable with a bone plate. The awl is releasably engaged to the plate holder and includes a locking mechanism adjustable from a first setting to a second setting and a tip. When the locking mechanism is in the first setting, the awl is fixed relative to the plate holder and the tip is disposed within the plate holder. When the locking mechanism is in the second setting, the awl is axially translatable relative to the plate holder such that the tip of the awl extends out of the second end of the plate holder.

  • Patent number: 12206754
    Abstract: A method and apparatus according to the present invention addresses and/or prevents lost protocol synchronization in HARQ systems caused by ACK/NACK errors. One embodiment detects lost synchronization errors for NDI-based retransmission protocols and restores synchronization by sending an explicit RESET message. In response to the RESET message, the transmitter aborts the transmission of a current PDU and transmits a new PDU and corresponding NDI. Another embodiment prevents protocol synchronization errors by sending scheduling grants on a packet by packet basis. The receiver sends a subsequent explicit scheduling grant to the transmitter based on an error evaluation of a received PDU. The transmitter will not send the next PDU unless it receives the subsequent explicit scheduling grant.

  • Patent number: 12129701
    Abstract: A crank handle assembly for actuating a panel of a fenestration unit relative to a frame includes an arm. The arm is elongate and is configured to be supported at one end by the frame for rotation to actuate the moveable panel relative to the frame. The crank handle assembly also includes a knob that is moveably attached to an opposite end of the arm and that extends therefrom. The knob is supported for movement between an aligned position and a misaligned position relative to the arm. The arm and the knob cooperatively define a crank handle longitudinal axis. The knob, in the aligned position, is aligned with the arm and the crank handle longitudinal axis is straight. The knob, in the misaligned position, is misaligned with the arm, and the crank handle longitudinal axis is nonlinear.

  • Publication number: 20240339768
    Abstract: A conductor connection terminal having a spring-loaded clamping connection that has a clamping spring and a busbar. An electrical conductor can be clamped under spring force to a conductor-connection side of the busbar by a clamping leg of the clamping spring. The conductor connection terminal has a support element having a support portion for bearing against a side of the busbar, which side is remote from the conductor-connection side. Thus, provided is a compact and versatile conductor connection terminal that is further improved in terms of its functionality and overall size. This aim is achieved in that the support element has a spring tongue via which an electrical contact element can be clamped to the busbar under spring force. As a result, an additional connection option is provided without an additional separate connection component, without increasing the overall size of the conductor connection terminal.
