Patent number: 11290490Abstract: Cloud service security management in cloud computer environment uses a first computer cloud entity with first security capabilities and under security management coordinated by a first security management service point in compliance with predefined first security requirements. Security management of a second computer cloud entity is coordinated by a second security management service point in compliance with predefined second security requirements. In the managing of the security of the cloud service in the cloud computer environment: a trusted relationship is established between the first and second security management service points, general security requirements for the cloud service are obtained; and a first security policy is defined for the first security management service point, based on the general security requirements for the cloud service, the first security capabilities and the first security requirements, for the running of the cloud service by the first computer cloud entity.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Manfred Schaefer, Iris Adam, Stephane Mahieu, Jing Ping

Patent number: 10609931Abstract: The present invention relates to mixed crystals comprising a) leavening agent and b) 0.1 to 5000 ppm by weight of crystallization aid, based on the total amount of the leavening agent, in the form of at least polymer, wherein when hydrophilic cellulose derivatives are used as crystallization aid, the amount thereof is reduced to less than 100 ppm by weight, based on the total amount of the leavening agent. The present invention further relates to the production of the mixed crystals and to the use thereof in the production of bakery products, as acid regulator in foods, in the production of cosmetics products, in the synthesis and formulation of pharmaceutical products, and also as blowing agent in industrial processes such as, for example, the production of foam rubber, or for fire-extinguishing formulations. The present invention relates, furthermore, to the production of bakery products.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: BASF SEInventors: Ralf Diener, Jürgen Schneider, Herbert Seiter, Manfred Schaefer, Walther Schmid
