Abstract: This disclosure includes a method for manufacturing a portable data carrier, an inlay for a data carrier, and a data carrier. A data carrier body has a gap for a chip and a chip is incorporated into the gap. In a subsequent step a cover layer is laid on the data carrier body, and the data carrier body and the cover layer are laminated. After the incorporation of the chip and before the lamination, a stabilizing agent is applied into the gap of the core layer, which remains soft or flexible during the lamination and cures or is activated (e.g. by means of UV radiation) only after the lamination, in order for mechanical tensions to be avoided.

Abstract: In a method for adjusting data streams during a video conference the audio-based and video-based real-time communication to be transmitted to various receiver units with respective resource loads that vary over time, a server unit receives an incoming data stream from each of a multiple number of transmitter units. The server unit generates from such incoming data streams a multiple number of outgoing data streams, each having a different compressed data rate. The server unit receives from the specified receiver units, their resource loads (varying over time) in chronological intervals and accordingly subjects the data rates of the compressed outgoing data streams to a controlling adjustment to the resource loads of the respective specified receiver units. The outgoing data streams so adjusted are sent to the specified receiver units.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods are provided for conducting wireless data communications, particularly real-time data communications, in a communication environment that includes a restricted channel (e.g., a channel subject to Dynamic Frequency Selection or DFS). Two or more mobile communication/computing devices (e.g., smart phones, tablet computers) participate in a peer-to-peer network and engage in data communications while one or more of them operate on the restricted channel (e.g., to maintain an infrastructure communication connection). Their channel sequences are configured to maximize the efficiency of the data communication while satisfying restrictions of the restricted channel or avoiding that channel, and only require them to monitor one beacon interval. One or more of the devices may strategically roam to the restricted channel or away from the restricted channel, depending on which action will provide greater communication throughput or efficiency.
