Abstract: Embodiments relate to coordinating the operations of subsystems in a communication system of an electronic device where a coexistence hub device monitors the state information transmitted as coexistence messages over one or more multi-drop buses, processes the monitored coexistence messages and sends out control messages as coexistence messages to other systems on chips (SOCs). The coexistence hub device can also update the operations of the communication system. The coexistence hub device may receive an operation policy from a central processor and may execute the operation policy without further coordination of the central processor. The coexistence hub device broadcasts the control messages as coexistence messages according to the executed operation policy.

Abstract: A composite material includes: a substrate and a polymer layer which are interconnected by an adhesion promoter layer. The adhesion promoter layer is obtainable by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) at least partially using a mixture of precursor compounds containing an unsaturated hydrocarbon and an organosilicon compound. In an embodiment, the substrate includes a metal substrate or a polymer substrate.

Abstract: A thermo-fusible sheet material is provided, particularly for use as a fusible interlining in the textile industry, and having a substrate layer that has a textile material that has an adhesive compound structure thereupon with a polyurethane hot-melt adhesive composition. The thermo-fusible sheet material has a high degree of adhesive strength, particularly on outer fabrics that are difficult to fuse such as, for example, outer fabrics coated with fluorocarbon, silicone or polyurethanes.

Abstract: The use of a sulphur-free and low-emission elastomer blend which has properties of various rubbers, and the mechanical properties thereof are improved, in particular, in relation to the permanent set (DVR), elongation at rupture, tensile strength and/or gas permeability (permeation) in relation to the individual compounds, and it also has an improved temperature resistance and an improved resistance to media.
