  • Patent number: 11133885
    Abstract: A method for assisting in synchronization of slave clocks in a communication network comprises receiving, in a node of the communication network, a message comprising a value of a synchronization accuracy (?rec) of a first upstream node in the communication network. A value of an accuracy (?link) of a link latency unbalance between forward and reverse signalling in a link on which the node received the message is obtained. A value of a total synchronization accuracy (?tot) of the node comprises at least the accuracy (?link) of the link latency unbalance of the link on which the node received the message is calculated. A node for assisting in synchronization of slave clocks in a communication network is also presented.

  • Publication number: 20210258300
    Abstract: A method for re-provisioning a user equipment (UE, 140) after a first digital security certificate for the UE (140) has expired includes communicating content data to a controller (130) over a first secure communication channel after verification of a validity of a first digital security certificate. Once it is realized the first digital security certificate has expired, the UE (140) sends a certificate provisioning request message over an unsecure channel to the controller (130) as a request to the controller (130) to provision a second digital security certificate. The UE (140) signs the certificate provisioning request message with the private key for the now expired first digital security certificate. A second digital security certificate is signed by the rescue-secret private key at the controller (130) and sent to the UE (140), which verifies its authenticity with the corresponding rescue-secret public key.

  • Publication number: 20210129299
    Abstract: Mounting device for inserting insulation holders into insulation material, where the mounting device comprises a drive head adapted to drive the insulation holder through a central opening of the head portion of the mounting device, where the central opening is provided with a threaded portion, where the lead pitch of the threaded portion is at least 30 millimetres. The advantage of the invention is that insulation holders can be inserted into insulation material in an easy and cost-effective way. An insulation holder can be driven completely through the central opening since the insulation holder does not have a protruding head. The insulation holder is provided with a thread corresponding to the thread of the central opening, such that the insulation holder is screwed into the insulation material.

  • Publication number: 20210053516
    Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle microphone activation and/or identification of incoming speech-to-text data by the location of the speaking occupant. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a plurality of microphones, each of which may be linked with a particular occupant/seat in the vehicle. The system may be configured to link incoming STT data with a particular microphone/occupant. This may be done by an explicit trigger from an occupant or by actuation of a button or other actuation means by a vehicle occupant. The STT data may then be processed using the location data.
