  • Publication number: 20260062978
    Abstract: In one aspect, a movable barrier operator is provided having a motor, a transmitter, a receiver, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive through the receiver a first public key from a remote control; determine a second public key and a second private key; and determine a shared secret session key using the second private key and the first public key. The controller is configured to operate the transmitter and receiver to bidirectionally communicate with the remote control so that the movable barrier operator can learn a fixed code and a changing code of the remote control. The bidirectional communications are encrypted using the shared secret session key. Upon the movable barrier operator successfully learning the remote control, the movable barrier operator transmits a long-term key to the remote control that is used to encrypt subsequent communications between the movable barrier operator and the remote control.

  • Publication number: 20180169944
    Abstract: A system for additive production of three-dimensional objects, comprising at least one work station, which is designed to carry out at least one work process as part of the additive production of three-dimensional objects, comprising: at least one, particularly user-side, movable, particularly sliding, transport carriage, which comprises a frame structure, which comprises a receiving device, which comprises a receptacle chamber designed to receive a powder module within the frame structure, wherein the frame structure comprises at least two frame structure sections, wherein a first frame structure section is borne so as to be movable relative to a second frame structure section, particularly in a vertically aligned movement direction, wherein the transport carriage comprises at least one, particularly motorized lifting device, which is designed to generate a lifting force that moves the first frame structure section relative to the second frame structure section.
