Abstract: A display unit in a motor vehicle presents information to a first user located in a personnel site. A frame carries the personnel site and a suspension system between the frame and the personnel site has at least one adjustable suspension characteristic. While the motor vehicle is being operated, a control system repeatedly determines a first gaze point of the first user on the display unit. Variations in a position for the first gaze point over time are analyzed; and in response thereto, the control system generates a first control signal to the suspension system so as to reduce a fluctuation of the position for the first gaze point, if a repositioning of the first gaze point is out of synchronization with a displacement of the display unit.

Abstract: A method is disclosed herein for reducing energy consumption in a wireless device. A wireless device (e.g., a user equipment) can provide an indication to a network node (e.g., a base station) to indicate that the wireless device will prioritize energy consumption reduction over some network requirements (e.g., latency and/or scheduling flexibility requirements). Accordingly, the wireless device can perform certain power-saving actions to reduce energy consumption. The network node, upon receiving the indication from the wireless device, can perform certain network-related actions to assist the wireless device in reducing energy consumption. As a result, it is possible for the wireless device to reduce energy consumption and complexity, thus helping to prolong battery life in the wireless device.

The network node may then transmit a transport block in accordance with the scheduling configuration. Correspondingly, a user equipment receives the scheduling configuration. The UE may then receive a transport block in accordance with the scheduling configuration.
