Abstract: The present invention relates to an asymmetrical encryption method. The public key is made up of a large composite number n; the private key is made up of the factors of the composite number. The encryption is made up of a number of iterations of individual encryption steps that are successively reversed during the decryption. In this context, the reversal of an individual encryption step requires the solving of a quadratic equation modulo m [sic]. The private key is preferably made up of the large prime numbers p and q. The public key is the product n of these two prime numbers, as well as a comparatively small integer L which is greater than one. The message m is made up of two integral values m1 and m2, thus m=(m1, m2), both values being in the set Zn={0, 1, 2, . . . , n−1}. The encryption is accomplished via the equation c=fL(m).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for grinding rollers (6), also for grinding hollow rollers. As the rollers tend to vibrate transversally as a result of the contact with the grinding disc (13), a cushioned body (15) is applied to the opposite side of the roller from the grinding disc (13), said body being engaged pneumatically against the roller (6) and adapting at least partially to the contours of the roller. The cushioned body consists of an elastic solid material or an elastic external skin that is filled with an elastic pressurised medium. The engagement pressure of the cushion is adjustable. This is achieved by a pneumatic advance cylinder (17) located on a base (16), said cylinder having a piston that can be impinged on both sides (18) and that bears on its piston rod (19) a fixing plate (20) comprising the elastic cushion (15). The advance cylinder (17) is connected to compressed air conduits (21, 22), P indicating the conduit comprising a pressure regulator and L indicating the return conduit in the standard case. The invention thus provides a device (14) for damping vibrations, which suppresses any regenerative chatter and guarantees a grinding pattern that is devoid of chatter marks.

Abstract: An antenna diversity receiver has a low-IF receiving mode and a diversity selection mode, and a switch arrangement for coupling one of the antennas to the IF channels when in the receiving mode, and coupling each of the channels to a different one of the antennas in the selection mode. A diversity controller compares qualities of signals received simultaneously from the different antennas during the selection mode, and controls the switch arrangement in the receiving mode, to use the better antenna. The quality measurement is carried out during reception of a carrier before a preamble to a desired signal is received, so that there is more time to obtain a better signal quality measurement and to enable better averaging over time. The channels have a polyphase filter with switchable cross coupling between the channels, so that it acts as two independent low pass filters in the selection mode.
