Abstract: A method for providing a data record of a vehicle to a third party includes: receiving a cryptographic key pair including a public, cryptographic key and a private, cryptographic key; receiving the data record of the vehicle; encrypting the received data record by the public, cryptographic key; transmitting the encrypted data record to a data memory for storing the encrypted data record; generating a cryptographic hash value for the encrypted data record; transmitting the hash value of the encrypted data record to a blockchain database for storing the hash value of the encrypted data record; receiving a request message from a third party for retrieving the data record; generating a first request message to the data memory and a second request message to the blockchain database on the basis of the received request message; transmitting the first request message to the data memory and the second request message to the blockchain database; receiving the encrypted data record from the data memory in response to t

Abstract: The invention relates to a radio communication device for a vehicle, said device having at least one antenna unit, the emission of which can be controlled in one or more directions, and having a control unit coupled to the at least one antenna unit, for controlling the latter. The control unit is coupled to a control application and configured to control the at least one antenna unit in an application-controlled geo-beamforming operating mode, such that the emission of the at least one antenna unit is restricted to the course of the road in the current location of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the technical monitoring of objects, in particular of vehicles, by a mobile radio network is provided. The method for operating a mobile radio network having one or a plurality of mobile radio base stations for monitoring the object includes a first network access device for the mobile radio network communicating with at least one of mobile radio base station, including the acts of receiving first data from the first network access device via the at least one mobile radio base station, detecting a physical position or a change of physical position of the object based on the first data, checking whether the detected position or position change meets a predetermined criterion, and, if the predetermined criterion is met, outputting a predetermined signal.

Abstract: A method of configuring infotainment applications in a motor vehicle is provided. A control unit is configurable via a configuration interface such that the functional scope and/or a basic setting of the infotainment application is changed based on first configuration data from a first configuration data server. A service center stationarily arranged at a distance from the motor vehicle has a second configuration data server and a second configuration data bank. The service center has a first modification interface by which configuration data of the second configuration data bank is modifiable using first access rights and a second Internet-based modification interface by which the configuration data is modifiable using second access rights differing from the first. Modifications of the configuration data are recognized and the configuration data of the first configuration data bank is changed by using the configuration data from the second configuration data bank.

Abstract: Exemplary multi-shell structured blast effect charges as well as shaped charge or shaped-charge-like explosive charges are disclosed which contain metal carbonyls in the form of pure substances, granulates, mixtures with inorganic fuels, or as granulates of mixtures with inorganic fuels integrated in suitable closed containers. The metal carbonyls serve in the form proposed herein as fuel, which during the intended conversion of the total charge exhibit an undirected (multi-shell structured blast effect charges) or at least partially directed (shaped charges or shaped-charge-like explosive charges) pressure enhancing effect.

Abstract: An electric wiring system of a motor vehicle with control devices that communicate with each other via a data bus, and with at least a first communication apparatus inside the vehicle for data exchange with a remote communication station outside the vehicle via a communication channel is provided. To make an authentication of the electric wiring system possible, the first remote communication station outside the vehicle transmits at least one cryptographic key and/or at least one certificate for storage in a first control device of the plurality of control devices via the communication channel to the communication apparatus inside the vehicle. The first control device stores the at least one key and/or the at least one certificate in coded or decoded form and the at least one key and/or the at least one certificate is/are used at least in the framework of an authentication.
