A method of mounting a rail monitoring member/element at a mounting location of a rail for rail traffic, in particular on a railway track, is disclosed. The rail monitoring member includes a strain sensor member with a carrier on which a strain gauge, being an optical fiber with a fiber Bragg grating, is fixed. The method steps include: determination of the temperature of the rail and/or rail monitoring member at the mounting location; checking whether the determined temperature is within a predefined temperature interval; providing heating or cooling application to the rail and/or rail monitoring member at the mounting location, if the determined temperature is not within the predefined temperature interval; positioning and adhesively fixing of the carrier of the rail monitoring member at the mounting location. The method can be carried out easily and allows reliable and accurate monitoring of the rail using a strain sensor member.

A method for setting up a subscriber identity module for agreeing one or several exchange keys, between a subscriber identity module and a provisioning server includes generating one or several exchange keys from keys of the provisioning server and of the subscriber identity module on a production server and are transmitted into the subscriber identity module and stored, so that the subscriber identity module is put particularly into a state as though it had generated the exchange keys itself. In a method for agreeing one or several exchange keys, between a subscriber identity module and a provisioning server, the subscriber identity module sends its public key to the provisioning server, which subsequently generates the exchange keys.

A method for the transition is provided from a Boolean masking of a value to be kept secret to an additive masking of the value to be kept secret. The value to be kept secret is present in the Boolean masking as a representation masked with a first Boolean mask and a second Boolean mask. A first additive mask and a second additive mask are determined for the value to be kept secret. A first masking transition is executed in which the first Boolean mask is converted into the first additive mask. A second masking transition is executed in which the obfuscation value is converted into an additive correction value, and a third masking transition is executed in which the second Boolean mask is converted into the second additive mask.

A method for assembling a strain gauge arrangement for an axle counter, includes: a strain sensor element; a carrier, to which the strain sensor element is fastened; and a railroad track structure to be monitored. When the carrier is fastened to the structure at least a part of it is kept in an elastically deformed state. The carrier is embodied with a first carrier piece opposing a second carrier piece. The strain sensor element is fastened to the first carrier piece with a first fixing point, to the second carrier piece with a second fixing point, and to neither the first nor the second carrier piece with a central section between the fixing points. At least the part of the carrier is elastically braced by means of a bracing element for when adhesively bonding to the structure to be monitored. Thereafter the bracing element is removed.

Strain gauge assembly, particularly for an axle counter

A strain gauge arrangement for an axle counter has a strain sensor element, a carrier and a railway line structure that is to be monitored. At least one part of the carrier is maintained in an elastically deformed state by the structure when the carrier is secured to the structure. The carrier is formed from a first carrier piece and a second carrier piece, which lie opposite one another at a distance from one another. The strain sensor element has one first fixing point fixed to the first carrier piece, and one second fixing point fixed to the second carrier piece, and a middle section mounted between the fixing points which are not fixed to the first or second carrier piece. The strain gauge arrangement is simple to handle and a drop can be reliably detected and a strain state of the strain sensor element can be predetermined more easily.

A method for the initial operation and personalization of a subscriber identity module in a mobile radio network, prior to its first initial operation in the mobile radio network, the subscriber identity module does not yet include an individual secret key and is being equipped with an individual, unique parameter data set only after its first initial operation in the mobile radio network. A mobile radio server takes on, from the subscriber identity module, an authentication message formed with a preliminary parameter data set comprising an individual, unique subscriber identification and a non-individual, non-unique preliminary secret key, and sends, after a verification, in response thereto an individual, unique final secret key to the subscriber identity module for programming into the subscriber identity module. The preliminary parameter data set is introduced into the subscriber identity module selectively during production or by an initializing step based on an initial parameter data set.

The present invention relates to a method for compensation, for example, for temperature compensation of a fiber optic measurement system designed for determining a mechanical quantity. First and second fiber Bragg gratings have a respective Bragg wavelength, wherein the fiber Bragg gratings are irradiated with primary light. After applying a mechanical quantity to the first and second fiber Bragg gratings, the Bragg wavelengths of the fiber Bragg gratings are changed by the mechanical quantity. Filtering of the first and second secondary light, said first and second secondary light is effected from the primary light and modified by the Bragg wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating depending on the mechanical quantity by use of an optical filter device follows, in such a way that the Bragg wavelength of the first fiber Bragg grating lies in the region of the rising filter gradient of the optical filter device and the Bragg wavelength of the second fiber Bragg grating lies in the region of the falling filter gradient of the optical filter device. After determining the intensities of the filtered first and second secondary light, they are compared, whereupon the mechanical quantity is determined from the intensity comparison.
