Patent number: 11956765Abstract: A method for receive (RX) beam switching is provided. The method may be performed by a user equipment (UE) (420). The method includes using a current RX beam (412) to receive a transmission from a network node (422). The method further includes selecting (706) a new RX beam (414) to replace the current RX beam (412). The method further includes, after selecting (706) the new RX beam (414), transmitting (708-710) a channel state information (CSI) report to the network node (422). The method further includes, after selecting (706) the new RX beam (414) and before transmitting (708-710) the CSI report, continuing to use the current RX beam (412) to receive transmissions from the network node (422). The method further includes, after transmitting (708-710) the CSI report to the network node (422), replacing (714) the current RX beam (412) with the new RX beam (414) such that the new RX beam (414) instead of the current RX beam (412) is used to receive transmissions from the network node.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2017Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Andreas Nilsson, Fredrik Athley, Sebastian Faxér

Patent number: 11072409Abstract: The invention provides a method for operating a marine vessel (1) comprising a plurality of propulsion units (106, 107, 108, 206, 207, 208), each being arranged to deliver thrust to water in which the vessel (1) is floating, the thrust delivery levels of the propulsion units (106, 7, 108, 206, 207, 208) being individually controllable, the method comprising controlling (S2) a first (106, 207) of the propulsion units so as to deliver a thrust in a direction (T106, T207) which has a component in a first direction (F) of the vessel, simultaneously controlling (S2) a second (107, 208) of the propulsion units so as to deliver less thrust than the first propulsion unit (106, 207), and subsequently increasing (S4) the thrust delivered by the 10 second propulsion unit (107, 208) in a direction (T107, T208) which has a component in the first direction (F), the method further comprising simultaneously with increasing the thrust delivered by the second propulsion unit (107, 208) decreasing (S5) the thrust delivered by tType: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: VOLVO PENTA CORPORATIONInventor: Sebastian Nilsson

Patent number: 10814952Abstract: A boat basically includes a hull, at least one propulsion unit, a heading sensor, a position sensor and a controller. The at least one propulsion unit is movably mounted to the hull, and has a propulsion axis. The heading sensor is configured to detect a heading of the boat. The position sensor is configured to detect a position of the boat. The controller is programmed to turn the at least one propulsion unit relative to the hull such that the propulsion axis moves away from a center point of the boat to correct the heading of the boat upon determining that the boat is drifting in a drift direction based on detection results of the heading sensor and the position sensor.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignees: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHA, CPAC SYSTEMS ABInventors: Hiroshi Inoue, Katsutoshi Naito, Sebastian Nilsson, Mathias Lindeborg

Patent number: 10775808Abstract: A boat maneuvering control method for a boat provided with a propulsion device includes acquiring a target orientation, acquiring an actual orientation of the boat, setting a target yaw rate value based on orientation information of at least one of the target orientation and the actual orientation, detecting an actual yaw rate value of the boat, and controlling a direction of a thrust force of the propulsion device based on the target yaw rate value and the actual yaw rate value.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Makoto Ito, Sebastian Nilsson, Mathias Lindeborg

Patent number: 10549834Abstract: In a first step of a watercraft control method, a command signal to activate an automatic cruise function is received. In a second step, a target vessel velocity of a watercraft is set. In a third step, an actual vessel velocity of the watercraft is obtained. In a fourth step, a command signal is generated that is a signal to perform an automatic cruise control to control a thrust of the watercraft such that a difference between the target vessel velocity and the actual vessel velocity falls in a predetermined range of values. In a fifth step, it is determined whether or not a predetermined interruption condition has been established. In a sixth step, a command signal is generated that is a signal to perform the automatic cruise control with the thrust having a different magnitude from the thrust to be generated under normal circumstances without establishment of the interruption condition when the interruption condition has been established.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2018Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Makoto Ito, Mathias Lindeborg, Sebastian Nilsson
