The uncertainty principle between the position $x$ and the momentum $p$ is given by: $$ \sigma_x \sigma_p \geq \hbar/2,$$ whereas for the $x$ and $y$ components of the angular momentum is given by: $$ \sigma_{L_x} \sigma_{L_y} \geq \frac{\hbar}{2}\langle L_z\rangle .$$
What is the physical meaning of the Right Hand Side being just a number or an expectation value?
EDIT: I realise the expectation value itself is just a number, but it can take several different values, as opposed to a constant
The Heisenberg uncertainty principle in the most general form $$\Delta_\omega(A)\Delta_\omega(B)\geq\frac12|\omega([A,B])|$$ depends on the state $\omega$ on which it is evaluated. In the special case of the canonical commutation relations $[q,p]= i\hbar I$, $\omega(I)=1$ for any state and therefore the RHS reduces to a constant. For more general commutators however this won't be the case and a dependence on the state $\omega$ will remain.
The uncertainty product is bounded from below by the expectation value of the commutator of the relevant observables. If $A$ and $B$ are any two observables, then the generalized Heisenberg uncertainty relation reads as $$ \sigma_A\sigma_B \geq \frac{1}{2}\vert \langle[A,B]\rangle\vert .$$ For the case of position - linear momentum pair, the commutator is $[x,p]=i\hbar$ and so the right-hand side of the inequality above becomes independent of the state.
