Abstract: A system and method for provisioning devices on respective LTE or 5G network cores using a hierarchical provisioning connector. Maintained by a connectivity management platform, a hierarchical provisioning connector serving as an extension of a single provisioning connector of the customer account, such that the hierarchical provisioning connector may contain an array of single provisioning connectors. A rule processor that is utilized by the hierarchical provisioning connector to classify devices by access technology. Each configured rule may take one or more unique device identifiers as input and return a reference to exactly one configured single provisioning connector.

Abstract: A method (100) to determine a present position (122) of an object (600). The method (100) comprises using (102) an optical positioning system (104) to determine a first preliminary position (112) and using (106) a radio-based positioning system (108) to determine a second preliminary position (114), determining (110) a supposed position (116) on the basis of one of the preliminary positions (112, 114) and combining (108) the supposed position (116) with a previous position (212) of the object to determine the present position (122) of the object, if the supposed position (116) is based on a different positioning system (104, 108) than a previous supposed position (116?). A positioning system (500) with combined optical and a radio-based determination of a position of a tracker (600) and a tracker (600) with an active light source (608).

Abstract: A system and a method are provided for producing rubber mixtures. The system includes installations for performing a monopassage process and a multipassage process to produce a rubber mixture, and a transport system that transports the rubber mixture to one or more of the installations according to a selected recipe. The installations include a mixing and cooling installation that performs a mixing and cooling procedure in which the rubber mixture is formed into a sheet, the sheet is sprayed with water using at least one nozzle provided with water at a predetermined water flow rate and air at a predetermined air pressure, and evaporated water from the spraying of the sheet is evacuated at a predetermined air flow rate. The mixing and cooling procedure causes the rubber mixture of the sheet to reach target temperature and water-content values before a complementary mixing procedure is performed.
