Abstract: Das Verfahren zur kryptologischen Authentifizierung in einem Radiofrequenz-Identifikations-System mit einer Basisstation, die einen mit dem zu identifizierenden Objekt verbundenen Transponder über das Wechselfeld eines Abfragesignals mit Energie versorgt, weist folgende Verfahrensschritte auf. Für die im wesentlichen gesamten Kommunikationen zwischen Basisstation und Transponder erzeugt die Basisstation ein Abfragesignal. Der Transponder antwortet bei Empfang des von der Basisstation gesendeten Abfragesignals mit einer in seinem Speicher abgelegten Identifikationsnummer. Daraufhin verschlüsselt die Basisstation eine von ihr generierte erste Bitfolge anhand einer Schlüsselbitfolge, die der Identifikationsnummer des Transponders zugeordnet ist und sendet die so erhaltene zweite Bitfolge zum Transponder. Beim Empfang der zweiten Bitfolge generiert der Transponder aus der zweiten Bitfolge eine Kontrollbitfolge und sendet diese nach vollständigem Empfang der zweiten Bitfolge an die Basisstation. Diese Kontrollbitfolge dient zur Überprüfung des richtigen Empfangs der zweiten Bitfolge. Zur Kryptographischen Authentifizierung verschlüsselt der Transponder die aus der zweiten Bitfolge rekonstruierte erste Bitfolge anhand der dem Transponder zugeordneten Schlüsselbitfolge und sendet die so erhaltene dritte Bitfolge zur Basisstation. Noch während der Transponder die zweite Bitfolge zur dritten Bitfolge verschlüsselt, überprüft die Basisstation anhand der Kontrollbitfolge, ob bei der Übertragung der zweiten Bitfolge ein Fehler aufgetreten ist, unterbricht gegebenenfalls die laufende Verschlüsselung im Transponder. Dadurch kann die laufende Authentifizierung unterbrochen werden, da nicht mit einem richtigen Ergebnis gerechnet werden kann. Es wird Zeit beim Start eines erneuten Durchlaufs des Authentifizierungsverfahrens gewonnen.

Abstract: The method is used to determine the time remaining of an oil change interval of a combustion engine. The oil temperature and the fuel consumption of the engine are detected. The temperatures are evaluated using predetermined deterioration factors (A). The fuel consumption is evaluated wherein over predetermined time intervals, the sum of detected fuel consumptions is formed and multiplied with the deterioration factor (A) of the current oil temperature. The sum of the evaluated fuel consumptions is formed. The remaining part of the oil change interval is then determined as a function of the difference between a predetermined fuel consumption maximum value and the sum of the evaluated fuel consumption.

Abstract: Apparatus (100, 700) for processing a compressed input bitstream (112, 712) representing
an information signal. The apparatus processes the compressed input bitstream in a way that
changes the information signal represented by the compressed input bitstream, and comprises
a layered decoder (114, 714A) that decodes the compressed input bitstream to provide a
decoded bitstream (116, 716A), a decoded bitstream processor (118, 718A) that processes the
decoded bitstream to provide a modified bitstream (122, 722A), a layered encoder (124, 724)
that re-encodes the modified bitstream to provide a compressed output bitstream (126, 726),
and a selective interconnection path (134, 215, 315, 138; 725, 721, 719, 738). The layered
decoder includes serially-connected decoding modules (e.g., 201, 203, 705, 707). The decoded
bitstream processor processes the decoded bitstream in a way that modifies the information
signal. The layered encoder includes serially-connected encoding modules (e.g., 301, 303, 705,
707), each of which corresponds to one of the decoding modules in the layered decoder. The
selective interconnection path selectively connects the output of one of the decoding modules
to the input of the decoded bitstream processor and selectively connects the output of the
decoded bitstream processor to the input of the one of the encoding modules corresponding to
the one of the decoding modules. The layered decoder may include an element that derives
bitstream parameters from the compressed input bitstream, and the apparatus may additionally
comprise a bitstream parameter forwarding path that interconnects the layered decoder to the
layered encoder. At least one of the encoding modules may be connected to the parameter
forwarding path and may perform an encoding operation using the bitstream parameters derived
from the compressed input bitstream.

energy while preserving the electromagnetic connection
between the resonators (12, 14). In another embodiment,
the coupling mechanism (60) provides a connection of the resonators
(62, 64) using a waveguide (70). By varying the connection
of the resonators (62, 64) with respect to the waveguide
(70), positive relative coupling and/or negative relative coupling
of the electromagnetic energy transferred between the
waveguide (70) and the resonators (62, 64) is provided.

Abstract: A low-speed antiskid control for a multigain hydraulic valve brake system for
an airplane is disclosed. The antiskid control includes low- and high-pressure bias
modulation (PBM) high step thresholds. At high speeds the low PBM threshold is
used to control a PBM high step firing. At low speeds, the high PBM threshold is
used to prevent a PBM high step firing unless a deep skid is occurring. The use of a
high threshold at low airplane speeds prevents a low speed control loss due to PBM
high step firing reducing brake pressure to below minimum brake contact pressure.

Abstract: An iontophoretic drug delivery system of the present invention
includes a controller interconnectable with a drug-filled
patch. The controller includes electronic circuitry which
monitors and controls the supply of electrical current to the
drug-filled patch during delivery of at least one drug, and the
electronic circuitry includes a circuit for causing a voltage
step in a battery of a plurality of serially-connected cells.
Specifically, the circuit causes one or more of the cells to
discharge through a resistor at a higher rate than the other
cells, thus producing a voltage step when the faster
discharging cell dies before the other cells. A reverse-biased
diode is connected in parallel to the faster discharging cell
to cause the current to bypass the faster discharging cell
after it has died, thus preventing it from reverse charging.
This circuitry may be controlled to adjust the higher rate of
discharge, and thus the time of occurrence of the voltage step.
