Patent number: 12496757Abstract: An injection mold comprising a first mold half and a second mold half which during operation are displaceable with respect to each other in a first direction between an open position and a closed position in which the first mold half and the second mold half interact with each other. The first mold half comprises a cavity plate with a front face with a recess in which at least one cavity block comprising at least one first cavity half is arranged forming in a closed position of the injection mold with a corresponding second cavity half arranged at the second mold half a cavity suitable to receive plasticized plastic material to form a part therefrom. At least one cable interconnects the at least one cavity block in a mounted position with a connection box.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2021Date of Patent: December 16, 2025Assignee: OTTO MÄNNER GMBHInventors: Marco Herdel, Patrick Kern, Klaus Bohn, Marcus Birmelin

Patent number: 12409591Abstract: An injection mold for the manufacturing of at least one tubular plastic part, including a first mold half including a first mold plate and a second mold half including a second mold plate arranged displaceable with respect to each other in an axial direction (Z) between an open and a closed position. The injection mold includes at least one core protruding from the first mold plate and the second mold plate including at least one cavity suitable to receive the core to form a molding cavity in the closed position of the injection mold for receiving molten plastic material therein to form the tubular plastic part. A bushing is arranged in the second mold half adjacent to a dorsal end of the cavity at least partially displaceable with respect to the second mold plate, the bushing including a bore in the closed position suitable to receive a tip of the core.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: September 9, 2025Assignee: OTTO MÄNNER GMBHInventors: Marco Herdel, Patrick Kern

Publication number: 20250030733Abstract: Tightly coupling cyber deception with software applications is promising in the lab but poses significant technical challenges in production systems. Because security measures are usually the responsibility of a system operator, access is typically limited to built software artifacts rather than their source code. This limitation makes it particularly challenging to deploy cyber deception techniques at application runtime and without full control over the software development lifecycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Applicant: Dynatrace LLCInventors: Mario KAHLHOFER, Patrick KERN
