  • Patent number: 12494309
    Abstract: There is provided a water-based alkaline composition for forming an insulating layer of an annealing separator on a soft magnetic alloy, this composition comprising ceramic particles with a particle size of less than 0.5 ?m and at least one polymer dispersion as a binding agent, the polymer dispersion comprising one or more mixed polymerisates from the group made up of acrylate polymers, methacrylate polymers, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene, polyurethane, polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxylated cellulose ether, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and polyvinyl butyral, and having a pH value of between 8 and 12, preferably between 9 and 11.

  • Patent number: 12139736
    Abstract: A bacterial strain suitable for expressing recombinant proteins contains an open reading frame which codes for a recombinant protein, under control of a functional promoter. The bacterial strain contains an open reading frame which codes for a muted peptidologycan-associated lipoprotein (PAL protein), under control of a functional promoter, wherein the PAL protein is muted such that it contains no membrane anchor for the outer cell membrane of the bacterial strain. A plasmid codes for a recombinant protein. Fermentative production of recombinant protein is facilitated by using the bacterial strain, with increased product yields in the culture residue without leading to a substantial die-off of the bacterial cells.

  • Patent number: 11888834
    Abstract: Methods are systems are provided for onboarding network equipment to managed networks. An onboarding controller of a managed network may generate a challenge for network equipment to be onboarded into the managed network, and may send the challenge to a communication device different from the equipment network. The challenge may include information relating to a configuration change to be made to the network equipment. Further, the challenge is sent over a connection that is different than a connection used in communicating with the network equipment. The onboarding controller may verify, based on handling of the configuration change, an identity and/or a network location of the network equipment. Handling the configuration change may include applying the configuration change.

  • Publication number: 20230412581
    Abstract: Methods are systems are provided for onboarding network equipment to managed networks. An onboarding controller may be used in authenticating the to-be-onboarded network equipment. The onboarding controller may issue a challenge, which may include instructions for making configuration changes to the network equipment. The configuration changes may include adding, removing, and/or changing connections within and/or to the network equipment within a local network including the network equipment. The onboarding controller may determine whether or not the configuration changes have been made to the network equipment. The determination of configuration changes may be used in verifying the identity and/or location of the network equipment, and/or in determining determine to which managed network the network equipment should be onboarded.

  • Patent number: 11349788
    Abstract: An online system allows users to exchange messages with other users, including entities such as businesses. A user, such as a business, may use a third party system to manage messages with users of the online system. The online system provides the third party information with instructions comprising tracking mechanisms that identify specific actions between users from messages exchanged between users. For example, if a user purchases a product from another user via a message thread, a tracking mechanism identifies the purchase and transmits information reporting the purchase and identifying users to the online system. Hence, the tracking mechanism transmits a description of an action and information identifying the users to the online system, and may also transmit additional information, such as a value of the action to a user. The online system may use the descriptions of actions for content targeting or measurement and reporting of actions.

  • Patent number: 10981337
    Abstract: A process for producing a component from a fiber-reinforced plastic with a thermoset matrix. The process includes the steps providing a first and second thermoset prepreg layer, producing a cutout in the first thermoset prepreg layer, providing a thermoplastic layer in the semifinished product between the first and the second thermoset prepreg layer in the region of the cutout, and manufacturing the component with a first and second thermoset layer and a thermoplastic layer in the region of the cutout, where the thermoplastic layer is locked between the two thermoset layers. The component may be used in a vehicle, where the component has been produced from a fiber-reinforced plastic with a thermoset matrix by the abovementioned process.
