  • Publication number: 20240112956
    Abstract: A layer stack is formed that includes a device layer and an insulator layer. The device layer includes electronic elements. The insulator layer is adjacent to a back surface of the device layer. A spacer disk is adhesive bonded on the layer stack on a side opposite the device layer. The spacer disk and the layer stack form a wafer composite. The wafer composite is divided into a plurality of individual semiconductor chips. Each semiconductor chip includes a portion of the layer stack and a portion of the spacer disk.

  • Patent number: 11946521
    Abstract: A stop assembly for damper masses of a damper system has a stop device and a stop device carrier which holds the stop device. The stop device has at least one shoulder, which is intended to engage in at least one associated receiving portion of the stop device carrier. In at least one support region, the shoulder is oversized relative to the associated receiving portion to facilitate captive engagement in the receiving portion, and, at a distance from the at least one support region, the shoulder is undersized relative to the associated receiving portion to facilitate assembly-simplifying engagement in the receiving portion.

  • Patent number: 11947097
    Abstract: A bandpass filter for light has variable lower and upper cut-off wavelengths. The bandpass filter comprises an areal long-pass filter defining the variable lower cut-off wavelength and an areal short-pass filter defining the variable upper cut-off wavelength. The long-pass filter has different lower cut-off wavelengths in different first area regions which follow to one another in a first direction, and the short-pass filter has different upper cut-off wavelengths in different second area regions which follow to one another in a second direction. The long-pass filter and the short-pass filter are connected in series and spatially fixed relative to one another. The first direction and the second direction are oriented crosswise to one another.

  • Publication number: 20240078294
    Abstract: A system and method for creating secure software code. Original code is processed to determine memory states, which are dynamic during execution of the code. Selected functions of the code are duplicated and placed in parallel alternative control paths in order to create protected code with increased path diversity. The state of the memory, or a variable derived therefrom is used to select one of the alternative paths during execution of the protected code.
