  • Publication number: 20210088291
    Abstract: A tubular body arrangement for a temperature-control device, e.g., for temperature-controlling an electrical device, is disclosed. The tubular body arrangement includes at least one first tubular body and at least one second tubular body that can each be flowed through by a temperature-control fluid and that each include a circumferential wall extending along an axial direction. The first tubular body has a first tube flange that is deformable for compensating for at least one of a position change and a dimensional change of an axial length of at least one of the tubular bodies. The first tube flange projects from the circumferential wall of the first tubular body at an angle. The second tubular body is mounted on the first tube flange so that the first tubular body and the second tubular body jointly bound a tubular body interior that can be flowed through by the temperature-control fluid.

  • Patent number: 9602479
    Abstract: A communications device according to the present disclosure for communicating within a communications network contains an encryption device and an initialization-vector generator. The encryption device encrypts outgoing messages at least partially by means of a code and an initialization vector, which is generated by the initialization-vector generator. In this context, the initialization vector is generated at least partially on the basis of network information of the communications network.

  • Patent number: 9083528
    Abstract: An authentication-encryption unit provides at least one encryption element, where each encryption element encrypts a plain-data block and accordingly generates a cipher-data block. A common checksum is calculated over each cipher-data block. It is possible to select via a selection unit in each encryption element which data bits in each cipher-data block are to be used to calculate the common checksum.
