Abstract: Arrangements for updating software, such as initial trusted code and data, are described, including providing proof of execution of the update. The mechanism for updating the software is logically or physically separated from the general purpose CPU of the system. Thus, the update mechanism can be trusted even if the system to be updated may be compromised.

Abstract: A method and a device for data processing are provided comprising a first instance comprising at least one local trusted unit (LTU) and a local trust manager (LTM), the method comprising the step: The local trust manager provides a policy related information to the at least one local trusted unit and/or to a second instance.

Abstract: A facility is described for the automatic recognition and differentiation of single-channel or dual-channel electronic sensors, which are connected to a dual-channel safety combination with two connecting line pairs for emergency stop facilities in the form of electronic sensors or emergency stop buttons, with a first connecting conductor pair being provided for single-channel operation and the first and a second connecting line pair being provided for dual-channel operation of the safety combination, said facility comprising an ohmic resistance arranged in at least a first connecting line of the second connecting line pair and a transistor connected by its emitter or collector to a first side of the ohmic resistance and by its base to a second side of the ohmic resistance in such a manner that during a current flow through a dual-channel electronic sensor connected to both connecting conductor pairs a voltage drop at the ohmic resistance switches the transistor, so that an output signal is generated at the c

Abstract: An area and a process file are assigned to each program to be protected. The process or processes that may run in the corresponding area is or are stored in a process file. When the program is running, a process attempting to access the program is checked to confirm whether the accessing process is included in the corresponding process file. The accessing process is executed only if it is included in the process file.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the processing of plastic particles, in particular from shredded plastic waste, into a moulding mass that can be injection moulded and to improve their transport into injection moulding moulds. To achieve this, noxious fractions of the moulding mass are degasified and eliminated in a purification stage and a plasticizing screw designed for this purpose is configured in such a way, that an outlet leading to the environment is provided for the gases to be eliminated in a purification area with a reduced working pressure.

Abstract: A passenger motor vehicle with a fuel tank arranged to the rear of the rear seats within a space which is provided with inflow openings for dynamic air flow and/or with inflow openings for exhaust air out of the vehicle interior of motor vehicles equipped with an air-conditioning system, and with outflow openings to enable the discharge of air out of the fuel tank space.
