Patent number: 8686210Abstract: A process for obtaining gaseous hydrocarbons from a starting material which contains oxygen-containing hydrocarbons. The process includes providing the starting material and contacting the starting material with a porous catalyst at a temperature of 300-850° C. in the absence of oxygen in a converting reactor so as to form a hydrocarbon-containing product gas mixture in which a proportion by weight of gaseous hydrocarbons is greater than a proportion by weight of liquid hydrocarbons in the gas mixture. Additionally, the process includes collecting a hydrocarbon-containing product gas stream of the hydrocarbon-containing product gas mixture and introducing the product gas stream into a separation apparatus in which product fractionation is carried out.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2009Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten Forschung E.V.Inventors: Volker Heil, Wolfgang Urban, Axel Kraft, Christoph Unger, Karl Meller, Joachim Danzig, Ulrich Seifert, Anna Fastabend, Silvana Rossow, Andreas Menne

Publication number: 20140052992Abstract: The subject innovation relates to a method with which a response to a request—said response having been ascertained by means of a communication terminal device can be securely transmitted to a data means, whereby the communication terminal device makes a selection from a plurality of response options. A specific key is associated with each of the response options, and the keys, which are in encrypted form, are received, together with the request, in the communication terminal device and they are decrypted in a means of the communication terminal device. On the basis of the selection made, the means ascertains the key that is associated with the selected response option, and the ascertained key is sent in a response message to the data means. The subject innovation also relates to a communication terminal device that is suitable for carrying out the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2012Publication date: February 20, 2014Applicant: Vodafone Holding GmbHInventors: Thorsten Nozulak, Ulrich Seifert, Cedric Rigal

Publication number: 20140040988Abstract: The technique described herein relates to a method for transmitting data to an identification module in a mobile terminal device that can be connected to a mobile telecommunications network, making use of an OTA server that has a database with security information for a plurality of identification modules and that also has a first interface for transmitting secured information, especially OTA messages, to the identification modules. The data is secured in the OTA server by security information stored in the database, and the secured data is transferred via a second interface of the OTA server to a data center that is connected to the OTA server. The data is transmitted to the identification module by the data center. Moreover, the technique described herein also relates to a system for carrying out the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: VODAFONE HOLDING GMBHInventors: Thorsten Nozulak, Ulrich Seifert, Elmar Johnen
