Abstract: A method of onboarding a user device onto an industrial network includes receiving a registration request from the user device. The user device is connected to a gateway device associated with a first wireless network. The registration request includes one or more network access parameters associated with the user device. At least one network access parameter from the network access parameters is indicative of the gateway device and/or the first wireless network. The method includes authenticating the user device based on the received registration request. Authenticating includes verifying validity of network access parameters of the registration request. The method allows for utilization of network access data to evaluate if the user device is indeed an actual user device or an unauthorized device. Accordingly, an overall security associated with the onboarding process is improved.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling access to content accessible via a data network, by transmitting an IP address in response to a name resolution request with respect to a domain name or IP address. If an access request is performed for an IP address or a name resolution for a domain name marked with an access control marker, an identifier is transmitted with at least one returned IP address, which indicates that the retrievable content retrieved should be subject to access control at the requesting computer system, e.g., because the content contains adult content. Using an IP address for this purpose has the advantage that the transmission of the IP address does not require changes in the established name resolution and transmission protocols, and IP addresses can be hierarchically structured. This allows a faster check as to whether a specific IP address lies in a specified address region.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to non-contact transmission of optical signals by an optical waveguide which is provided with a material of which the electron arrangement is able to be put into population inversion. In a first variant, energy is fed to the optical waveguide so that the electron arrangement is held in a state above its thermal equilibrium and below the population inversion, with optical signals being beamed into the optical waveguide with a wavelength exciting the electrons of the inversion material such that a local population inversion is created in a section of the optical waveguide, and subsequently light which is created by spontaneous emission is detected. In a second variant, a local population inversion is created by pump light, with simultaneously optical signals being beamed into the population-inverted section with the emission wavelength and by light created by stimulated emission being detected.
