  • Patent number: 11895503
    Abstract: A method for improving memory utilization of a Narrowband Internet of Things device (UE) is provided. The method includes: switching the modem to a provisioning mode and allocating a portion of the dedicated memory of the modem during provisioning of the iSIM on the modem chip of the UE; reusing, by the iSIM, the portion of the dedicated memory of the modem for processing provisioning data; securely cleaning up the allocated portion of the dedicated memory of the modem by a protection hardware block after leaving the provisioning mode; and allocating the portion of the dedicated memory of the modem shared with the iSIM back to the modem.

  • Patent number: 11778456
    Abstract: An improved Narrowband Internet of Things device (UE) supporting resource sharing for integrated Subscriber Identity Modules (iSIM) is provided. The cost per UE is reduced by reducing the chip area and energy consumption of an integrated UICC chip therein since identical components of the modem and the iSIM are designed as shared components, whereas a hardware arbiter manages an access to THE shared components by the modem or the iSIM and prevents information leaking.

  • Patent number: 11513790
    Abstract: A method for updating a firmware image comprises: — dividing a new firmware image into blocks 1* . . . n* . . . N*, wherein n* and N* are natural numbers, and wherein the size S is determined empirically before updating the firmware image, a) matching a first block 1* of the new firmware image against the full old firmware image using a binary differential and patching algorithm by b) creating a first block patch of the new and old firmware image according to said first block 1* of the new firmware image and the blocks 1 to M of the old firmware image, and repeating steps a) and b) wherein the consecutive repetitions are performed using only the blocks of the old firmware image not being processed yet, wherein the old binary firmware image is updated on a block-by-block basis, and wherein the currently processed block patch n is tracked.

  • Patent number: 8239173
    Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus and a computer software product for the conceptioneering, predesign and configuration of a machine object represented by an object data model. Component objects are stored in an object database, wherein a component object contains at least one parameter object. In addition the database contains functional objects. The modeling approach implemented by the separation according to the invention of component objects and functional objects permits a distinction to be drawn between constraints within a component object and constraints which exist between component objects. The former are embraced by the component objects themselves and the latter by the functional objects. That encapsulation has in particular the advantage that the modeling process can be substantially clearer. In addition encapsulation permits re-use of the component objects in various systems.

  • Publication number: 20060290223
    Abstract: A rotary body for a printing press, comprising a stator and a rotor, which can be rotated in relation to the stator and equipped with at least one permanent magnet. At least one stator winding is provided in the stator in such a way that a torque, which acts on the rotor, can be generated by the interaction of said winding with the at least one permanent magnet of the rotor. A drive for a printing press, comprising a rotary body of this type, is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6955122
    Abstract: A process and device are provided for setting the crop mark for and/or in a print production, in which prints are continuously printed on a web. At least one printing couple for printing on a web is provided. A lengthwise cutting device cuts the web into a first web strand and at least one second web strand. A converging device is provided for converging the first web strand with at least the second web strand and/or at least one other web strand to form a bundle. A cross-cutting device cuts the bundle. A crop mark setting device is provided with at least one deflecting device for each of the web strands of the bundle. The deflecting devices form a deflection axis for the web strand of the bundle, the web strand being associated with it. The deflecting device is mounted movably such that the particular deflection axis formed is adjustable at right angles to an axial direction by a maximum adjusting path length.

  • Patent number: 6748857
    Abstract: A printing press with crop mark setting device and process is provided. A printing couple for printing on a web is used with a lengthwise cutting device for cutting the printed web lengthwise into a first web strand and at least one second web strand. A convergence device converges the web strands or for converging the web strands with at least one other web strand each to provide one or more converged web strands, the convergence device including a turning bar device. A cross-cutting device cross-cuts the converged web strands. A crop mark sets a crop mark of the web strands that is related to the cross cutting. The crop mark setting device has a first deflecting device for deflecting the first web strand around a first deflection axis and a second deflecting device for deflecting the second web strand around a second deflection axis.

  • Patent number: 6466852
    Abstract: The invention proceeds from a vehicle having a clutch and a transmission. The clutch is mounted in the drive train of the motor vehicle and the transmission is mounted in the drive train and is changeable with respect to its transmission ratio. Furthermore, means are provided which generate a clutch signal which represents the actuation of the clutch. The essence of the invention is that a change of the transmission ratio is detected. According to the invention, monitoring means are provided by means of which a fault signal is generated in dependence upon the recognized change and the generated clutch signal. The fault signal indicates whether the means, which generates the clutch signal, operates properly. A further variation of the invention evaluates the clutch actuation with the first start of movement of the vehicle after the engine start.
