Abstract: A method for managing firmware versions for functional security components includes the steps of: transmitting a firmware packet to a functional security component, wherein the firmware packet has a signature and a firmware list which has a firmware list version number, and the firmware list includes permissible firmware version numbers; checking the author of the firmware packet by means of the functional security component using the signature; if the author is a permissible author, using the functional security component to check whether no firmware list is stored in a non-volatile storage region of the functional security component or if a firmware list which has an older firmware list version number than the firmware list version number of the transmitted firmware list is stored in the non-volatile storage region; and when no firmware list is stored or when a firmware list which has an older firmware list version number is stored, storing the transmitted firmware list or overwriting the firmware list havi

Abstract: The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one 5-(benz-(Z)-ylidene-thiazolidin-4-one derivative (I), to prevent or treat disorders associated with an activated immune system. Furthermore, the invention relates to novel thiazolidin-4-one derivatives notably for use as pharmaceutically active compounds. Said compounds particularly act also as immunosuppressive agents.

Abstract: A header for opto-electronic applications is provided. The header includes a header base with a back face, a front face, and opening that extends from the back face through the base to the front face. The opening accommodates an electrically isolated pin through the opening. A pedestal is arranged at the front face and is below a center of the opening. The pedestal has a mounting face and a free face, which opposes the mounting face. The pedestal further includes an upper surface for mounting and carrying a pedestal submount. The mounting face is fixedly attached to the front face with an electrically conductive material that is at least partially arranged between the front face and the mounting face. An electrically isolating material is arranged in the opening between the base and the pin to electrically isolate the pin from the base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dosing regimen for (R)-5-[3-chloro-4-(2,3-dihydroxy-propoxy)-benz[Z]ylidene]-2-([Z]-propylimmo)-3-o-tolyl-thiazolidin-4-one.

Abstract: A header for electronic components is provided. The header has a base with at least two electrical feedthroughs each having a feedthrough pin extending through the base and being electrically isolated to the base within the feedthrough. The further includes at least one pedestal connected to the base and two submounts. Each submount includes a carrier with a structured conductor plating that has at least two conductor traces with one of the conductor traces of each submount being electrically connected to one of the feedthrough pins. The submounts are equally formed but mounted in different orientations.

Abstract: A conductor track arrangement for high-frequency signals is provided. The arrangement has a carrier and a layered signal conductor arranged on the carrier. The layered signal conductor is delimited by a first end, a second end, an inner edge, and an outer edge. The layered signal conductor changes direction in a deflection area and has a minimum width in the deflection area. At least one of the inner and outer edges has a curvature in the deflection area. The deflection area is between the first and second ends.
