  • Publication number: 20220278188
    Abstract: Provided is a semi-transparent display and a method for producing a semi-transparent display. An SOI wafer is provided, the surface having at least one pixel region and at least one contact region arranged next to the pixel region, the SOI wafer comprising a silicon substrate on the rear side. At least one electromagnetic-radiation-emitting layer is deposited on the front side of the SOI wafer. At least one transparent cover layer is applied above the at least one electromagnetic-radiation-emitting layer. A wiring carrier is fastened to the assembly comprising the SOI wafer, the electromagnetic-radiation-emitting layer and the transparent cover layer. Before fastening of the wiring carrier to the assembly, the silicon substrate is removed from the assembly, producing a residual assembly, and electrically conductive connections are formed between the contact region of the SOI wafer and the wiring carrier from the rear side of the SOI wafer.

  • Patent number: 9621524
    Abstract: Cloud storage of sensitive data is improved by ensuring that all cloud-based data is encrypted at all times, not only when the data is at rest (i.e., stored), but also while data is being processed or communicated. Cryptographic keys can advantageously be managed via cloud based resources without exposing sensitive data. Instead, a key management system maintains cryptographic functions on administrative hosts and endpoints outside of cloud-based resources so that any vulnerabilities of the cloud-based resources will expose only encrypted data, and keys and sensitive data will never be exposed in unencrypted form. Thus sensitive data is protected end-to-end among hosts and endpoints using, e.g., platform independent cryptographic functions and libraries within a web browser or the like, and the cloud functions simply as a storing and forwarding medium for secure data.
