Finally, the disclosure relates to a method for determining the tack. The method includes the steps of guiding a test probe of a test body onto a sample to be tested, placing the test probe onto the sample, lifting the test probe off of the sample, and sensing the force F as the test probe is lifted off.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transdermal therapeutic system for the cutaneous administration of phenprocoumon, comprising an active-substance-impermeable backing layer, an adhesive matrix layer and optionally a removable protective layer, the adhesive matrix layer containing phenprocoumon and at least one matrix polymer, and the content of phenprocoumon in the matrix polymer being ?7.5 wt. %. By virtue of the low load, it is ensured that the system releases the active ingredient substantially in high release rates, because high thermodynamic activity of the active ingredient is achieved. The present invention also relates to a method for producing a corresponding transdermal therapeutic system.

Abstract: A system includes a vehicle, a first passive Near-Field Communication (NFC) device, and a first mobile device communicatively coupled to the vehicle and including a digital vehicle key. The first mobile device distributes the digital vehicle key to the first passive NFC device and informs the vehicle an instance in which the mobile device has distributed the digital vehicle key to the first passive NFC device.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for securely creating passwords for performing various keyless operations upon a vehicle. In an exemplary method, a computer receives a request for creating a password for a phone-as-a-key (PaaK) device. The computer determines that the PaaK device is present inside the vehicle and that the vehicle engine has been placed in an accessory state or a run state by an authorized PaaK device located in the vehicle. The computer further determines that a passive entry passive start (PEPS) key fob is present inside the vehicle. A prompt is provided for entry of a password. The computer checks to determine if an entered password has been already assigned to another PaaK device. If unassigned, the computer links the password to the PaaK device and authorizes the entered password as a valid keyless starting password for the vehicle.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for ensuring password security when starting a vehicle having a keyless engine starting system. In an exemplary method, a computer detects a depression of an engine start push button when no phone-as-a-key (PaaK) device or passive-entry-passive-start (PEPS) key fob is present in the vehicle. The computer responds by executing a verification procedure prior to password validation. The verification procedure can include operations such as determining that no PaaK device or PEPS key fob is present either inside the vehicle or within a defined geofence outside the vehicle. If the verification procedure is successful, the computer displays a prompt upon a display screen for entering of a password. The computer then uses various security measures when verifying the validity of an entered password, followed by displaying of a message indicating acceptance or rejection of the password.
