Abstract: A method for transferring an adhesive onto a part intended to be glued on a carrier, the adhesive being in the form of a double-sided film including a separator on each face, the part including an internal concave portion that does not enable uniform application of the adhesive film once the separators have been removed. The method includes attaching the adhesive film to a punch that matches the shape of the part within a range that approximately corresponds to the thickness of the adhesive film; removing the separator from the side of the adhesive film that is to be attached to the part; setting the part on the punch covered with the adhesive film that has had its separator removed; and transferring the adhesive film onto the part by creating a vacuum between the part and the punch by means of a vacuum device.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for secure digital key derivation for a ranging session between a first device (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) and a second device (e.g., a vehicle). According to certain aspects, a first device maintains a secure ranging in a secure element (SE) at the first device. The first device further fetches, from the SE, one or more other keys derived from the secure ranging key. The first device further uses the one or more other keys to secure a ranging session between the first device and a second device.
