  • Patent number: 10868660
    Abstract: At least one condition associated with radio communication of a radio device (10-A, 10-B-, 10-C, 100) with a further radio device (10-A, 10-B-, 10-C, 100) is monitored. In response to the at least one condition being met, full-duplex operation is activated for the radio communication of the radio device (10-A, 10-B-, 10-C, 100) with the further radio device (10-A, 10-B-, 10-C, 100). The full-duplex operation comprises transmission of a first signal on a carrier frequency from the radio device (10-A, 10-B-, 10-C, 100) to the further radio device (10-A, 10-B-, 10-C, 100) and simultaneous transmission of a second signal on the same carrier frequency from the further radio device (10-A, 10-B-, 10-C, 100) to the radio device (10-A, 10-B-, 10-C, 100).

  • Publication number: 20200369216
    Abstract: A bike carrier mountable on a trailer coupling is disclosed. The bike carrier comprises two support arms arranged pivotably between a non-use position and a use position and two primary supporting devices each having a movable receiving member and configured to clamp a coupling body of a trailer coupling therebetween. The support arms are operatively coupled with the primary supporting devices such that a movement of the support arms effects a movement of the receiving members. The bike carrier further comprises a secondary supporting device configured to engage with a protrusion provided on the neck of the trailer coupling.

  • Publication number: 20200281536
    Abstract: A method for personalized monitoring of a user's health, e.g. on a personal electronic device, optionally in combination with a computing device. The method obtains (32) sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the user and generates (33), based on the sensor data, measurement values of a primary parameter. The method further identifies (31), among a default set of secondary parameters, one or more selected secondary parameters which, for the user, are found to correlate with the primary parameter. The method may further generate (34), based on the sensor data, measurement values of the selected secondary parameter(s) so as to selectively provide measurement values that are relevant for the health of the user as monitored by the primary parameter. Alternatively or additionally, the method may present the selected secondary parameter(s) to the user to inform the user about relevant secondary parameter(s).

  • Publication number: 20200200499
    Abstract: A breech for noise reduction in a recoil-less weapon is described. The breech is adapted to be arranged in fluid communication with a launcher of the weapon to release exhaust gas. The breech comprises a venturi tube. The venturi tube has an inlet at a first end adapted to be connected to the launcher, and an outlet for releasing the exhaust gas at a second end, wherein the area of the outlet is larger than the area of the inlet. The venturi tube further comprises an exhaust gas controlling element formed at the venturi tube structure. The exhaust gas controlling element is arranged to control the release of exhaust gas so as to decrease a sound pressure peak at the weapon. The inner envelope surface of the venturi tube is configured, such that the inner envelope surface does not alter or at least has a very small influence on recoil characteristics of the weapon.
