Filed: 2012-08-10
Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for enabling users to select from available secure service providers (each having a Trusted Service Manager ("TSM")) for provisioning applications and services on a secure element installed on a device of the user.  The device includes a service provider selector ("SPS") module that provides a user interface for selecting the secure service provider. In one embodiment, the SPS  communicates with a key escrow service that maintains cryptographic keys for the secure element and distributes the keys to the user selected secure service provider. The key escrow service also revokes the keys from deselected secure service providers. In another embodiment, the SPS  communicates with a central TSM that provisions applications and service on behalf of the user selected secure service provider. The central TSM serves as a proxy between the secure service providers and the secure element.

Title: Appareil d'essai de pneumatique a largeur de talon reglable
Inventor: WOLLBRINCK JAMES
IPC: G01M17/02
Filed: 2011-03-10
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un ensemble raccord de gonflage de largeur réglable pour machine d'essai de pneumatique, comprenant des jantes supérieures et inférieures relativement mobiles qui permettent de serrer et de maintenir un pneumatique durant un cycle d'essai. Une pointe avant ou pilote formant une partie de l'une des jantes est sollicitée par pression de gaz pour venir en prise avec une structure formée de manière complémentaire sur l'autre jante. La sollicitation par pression de gaz est fournie par un ressort à gaz. Ce ressort à gaz peut être remplacé par des ressorts à gaz ayant différentes pressions de façon à régler la force de sollicitation, ou bien, en variante, être retiré de l'ensemble raccord de gonflage et remis sous pression à un niveau différent de façon à modifier sa force de sollicitation. L'utilisation d'un ressort à gaz en vue de fournir la force de sollicitation nécessaire étend la plage de mouvement de la pointe avant, permettant ainsi à un ensemble raccord de gonflage donné de s'adapter à des pneumatiques présentant un large domaine de largeurs de talon.

Abstract: In order to repair welded, two-stage or multi-stage compressor or turbine casings that, after welding, are machined down to a height A in the region of the weld, laser welding is used to apply a first layer of material (7), which extends on both sides of the root face and has a height B, to the machined region of the weld and a second, thinner layer of material (8) to the region of plasma pockets (9) formed on the intact rotor disk (2), wherein the sum of heights A and B corresponds to an original height C in the region of the weld prior to the final machining thereof. The defective rotor disk is then cut at the root face and through the middle of the first layer of material (7), whereupon a new rotor disk (4') that has already been validated at the time of production is welded on with the root face (3') validated at the time of production and using corresponding welding parameters, and the region of the weld is machined down to the original height A according to the parameters used already at the time of production.
