To reserve resources for sending or transmitting data streams comprising time-critical data, the flow control components send in each case a reservation order (11) to a reservation model assigned to the flow control environment (130). In accordance with assigned quality-of-service requirements, the reservation module sends in each case a reservation request (12a) or reservation confirmation (12b) to forwarding communication devices (201-203) or a higher-level control unit (210). Furthermore, the reservation module authorises the queue control unit to grant the virtual network adapter access to send/receive queues of a physical network adapter in accordance with a priority assigned to the quality-of-service requirements.

Abstract

The invention proposes a method for issuing a certificate with a particular certificate profile to a plant component (2) of a technical plant by a certification authority (6) of the technical plant, comprising: - transmitting a certificate request, which was submitted and signed by the plant component (2) and which requests the issuing of the certificate with the particular certificate profile for the plant component (2), to a representative service (3) of the technical plant, - checking, by the representative service (3), whether the certificate request transmitted to it is correct and has a correct signature, - in the event that the checks are successful, signing and forwarding, by the representative service (3), the certificate request to a registration authority of the technical plant, - checking, by the registration authority (4), whether the certificate request transmitted to it is correct and has a correct signature, - in the event that the checks are successful, checking, by the registration authority (4), whether the particular certificate profile can be used by the plant component (2) in the technical plant by checking whether the particular certificate profile is contained in a requester profile assigned to the representative service (3), - in the event that the check is successful, transmitting, by the registration authority (4), the certificate request to the certification authority (6), which, in the event of a successful check of the certificate request, issues the requested certificate with the particular certificate profile for the plant component (2).

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for simulating a component (12) by means of an electronic computer unit (10), comprising the following steps: providing a digital model (16) of the component (12) to be simulated; determining at least one repeating geometrical shape (18) of the component (12) within the digital model (16); generating a substitute model (14) for the at least one geometric shape (18); and simulating the component (12) by evaluating at least one simulation parameter (20), wherein the simulation parameter (20) is applied to the substitute model (14). The invention also relates to a computer program product, a computer-readable storage medium and an electronic computer unit (10).

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the computer-supported restricting of persistent memory for a container-based application (AP), wherein a number of container instances (CIN1, CIN2) are assigned to the application (AP), wherein a number of first users (UC1, UC2) are contained in the number of container instances (CIN1, CIN2), wherein a respective first user (UC1, UC2) is a container-specific user in a corresponding container instance (CIN1, CIN2), wherein: - to configure the number of container instances (CIN1, CIN2) a piece of configuration information (CO) is provided that defines, for each first user (UC1, UC2), a storage limit of persistent memory on at least one memory partition of the specified operating system (OS); - during configuration of the number of container instances (CIN1, CIN2) a user assignment (UAS) is defined, according to which another second user (UOS1, UOS2) is assigned to each first user (UC1, UC2) in the specified operating system (OS), which second user is unique across the number of container instances (CIN1, CIN2) and for which the storage limit of the respective first user (UC1, UC2) is valid; - the number of container instances (CIN1, CIN2) are started based on the user assignment (UAS), wherein with the aid of the second user or users (UOS1, UOS2) the storage limit for each first user (UC1, UC2) is adhered to.

Abstract

The invention relates to a circuit breaker (SG) for protecting an electric low-voltage circuit for an alternating voltage, wherein the level of a differential current of conductors of the low-voltage circuit is ascertained, and if differential current thresholds or differential current time thresholds (DSG1) have been exceeded, a process for preventing the flow of current in the low-voltage circuit is initiated by means of a high-ohmic state of switching elements of an electronic interruption unit in the closed state of separating contacts with a subsequent present current value which falls below a current threshold.
