  • Publication number: 20200162106
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for error-correction-encoding and encrypting of a file is provided. The file is split into at least two blocks. The first block is encrypted using a given encryption key. The encrypted first block is encoded twice using a first and second forward error correction code of the first block. Each subsequent block is encrypted by performing an algebraic operation. The encrypted block is encoded twice using a first and second forward error correction code for this block, wherein a cryptographic indexing function provides a set of indices used by the second forward error correction code to produce the second encoded chunk. The first encoded chunks of each encrypted block are outputted. The computer-implemented method enables secure transmission of a file content between low power devices.

  • Patent number: 9683827
    Abstract: A position of a turntable axis is repeatedly determined in the device coordinate system of a coordinate measuring device. A test body on the turntable is probed in a plurality of turntable positions in order to determine the X and Y coordinates of the turntable axis in the device coordinate system from the contact points. In addition, a first contact body reference point that is stationary relative to the X-axis and disposed next to the turntable is probed to determine its X coordinate. Similarly, a second contact body reference point that is stationary relative to the Y-axis is probed to determine its Y coordinate. These steps are repeated at one or more later points in time to repeatedly determine the X coordinate and the Y coordinate of the turntable axis from the X coordinate of the first contact-body reference point and the Y coordinate of the second contact-body reference point.

  • Patent number: 9248742
    Abstract: A motor vehicle has a driver assistance device which is designed to guide the motor vehicle independently and can be switched between several assistance modes which differ in a degree of autonomy of the driver assistance device when driving the motor vehicle. An operating device having several operating elements allows the user to adjust respective driving parameters, which determine a driving behavior of the driver assistance device, in at least one of the assistance modes as a function of an activation of the operating elements. The operating device is designed in the form of a palm rest. Some of the operating elements are arranged on a support body. The support body is mounted such that it can be manually rotated about a vertical axis, and the driver assistance device is designed to adjust the currently active assistance mode as a function of a rotary position of the support body.
