Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing a film-covered component, having at least one assembly nest with at least one component section, on which a component to be covered can be arranged includes operating a film severing device. The film severing device is arranged on the assembly nest and has a severing element. The film severing device surrounds the component section at least partially laterally at a distance.

Abstract: A method for supplying data which can be received by a vehicle in a vehicular ad-hoc network, in which the data is transmitted between subscribers to the vehicular ad-hoc network using a location-based communications protocol, involves: identifying a geographical location area of the vehicle; selecting a suitable communications protocol (for the identified location area; and receiving the data using the selected communications protocol in such a way that the received data is available to at least one network layer of the communications protocol.

Abstract: A system for improving the data security during a communication process, including at least one processor and a hardware security module. The communication data is authenticated prior to a transmission process, and the authenticity of the communication data is checked upon being received. The authentication is carried out by the processor, and the authentication check is carried out by the hardware security module, wherein the communication data is car-to-X messages. The processor and the hardware security module are linked via a common secret element such that at least the hardware security module cannot be coupled to another processor.

Abstract: A method for processing vehicle-to-x messages in a processing module and a method for processing vehicle-to-x messages in a control module. In this way, the data traffic between processing module and control module can be considerably reduced.

Abstract: A method for processing vehicle-to-X messages in a processing module and a method for processing vehicle-to-X messages in a control module. In the course of this messages are checked in a specified checking sequence.

Abstract: An electronic control device comprising a number of application partitions and a firewall partition, also comprising a number of secure interfaces which can only be accessed by the firewall partition. This increases the safety of the electronic device for example when used as an embedded controller.

Abstract: A method for checking the plausibility of a measurement result for an electric current by a current sensor connected to an electrical circuit, the method including: making a predetermined change to the switching state of the electrical circuit; detecting, by the current sensor, a change to the electric current resulting from the change to the switching state as a measurement result; and checking the plausibility of the measurement result by contrasting the change to the switching state and the change to the electric current.
