  • Patent number: 8955047
    Abstract: A method for authentication of a high-security client and a low-security client in a high-security mobile radio network includes: transmitting a request for authentication from a base station to the high-security client, wherein the request for authentication comprises a random number as a challenge; receiving a response from the high-security client at the base station, wherein the response from the high-security client comprises a generated number generated by performing a keyed cryptographic function on the challenge; providing a fixed number to the low-security client; and receiving a response from the low-security client at the base station, wherein the response from the low-security client comprises the fixed number. Limited access to the mobile radio network is granted for the low-security client relative to an access of the high-security client.

  • Publication number: 20060145380
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing structures having a compact polyurethane (PUR) sealing layer, particularly for clear coat molding PUR in order to produce a transparent PUR sealing layer on a veneer composite. The structure is placed inside a molding tool inside of which, when closed, a gap exists between the surface of the structure to be coated and the mold inner wall opposite the surface. The components polyol and isocyanate of the compact PUR, optionally provided with additives, are injected via a mixing head and a runner into the molding tool holding the structure. The invention is characterized in that the supply of components is terminated when a predefined pressure Pab (shutoff pressure) in the supply of components and/or in the flow path of the PUR mixture has been reached.
