  • Connecting module for connecting at least one sensor, actuator, or effector to a service-oriented-architecture network
    Patent number: 8751707
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting module (3) for connecting at least one sensor (2), effector, or actuator to a service-oriented-architecture, called SOA, network (4), wherein a functionality of the at least one sensor (2) is mapped as a service in the SOA network (4). In order to enable the integration of sensors (2) that are not SOA-capable in themselves into an SOA environment, the connecting module (3) has at least one first interface (3.2) for connecting the at least one sensor (2), effector, or actuator, at least one second interface (3.4) for connecting the SOA network (4), and a computing device (7) for executing a computer program, wherein a part (8.1) of the computer program to be executed is specified by default and another part (8.2) of the computer program is freely programmable by a manufacturer of the at least one sensor (2) in order to adapt firmware on the at least one sensor (2) to the SOA environment.

  • Data processing system having an encryption device
    Patent number: 5249232
    Abstract: A data-processing system includes an address bus and a data bus operatively coupled to a central processing unit, main memories, and control circuits for peripheral equipment, information carried on the data bus being encrypted. An encryption and decryption device is operatively coupled between the data bus and the central processing unit, for encrypting and decrypting the information.
