The protecting circuit of the distributing unit requests this certificate to verify the authenticity by using a public key, of a certificate authority, stored in the protecting circuit. Next, the protecting circuit determines, based on the type information of the certificate, whether the protecting circuit of the receiving unit represents a type of circuit that is acceptable for protecting the private key to be distributed. If the protecting circuit is found to be acceptable, the private key is encrypted and transmitted thereto. The received key is decrypted and stored in the protecting circuit of the receiving unit. In this manner, the private key is protected during transfer and may be distributed to and securely protected in one or more receiving units.

16 SAM MAN D RAG Uppfinningen avser ett förfarande och ett system för att underfärd reglera förskjutningsläget hos en vändskiva (4) hos ett for-donsekipage som innefattar ett dragfordon (1) och en påhängs-vagn (2), varvid förskjutningsläget hos vändskivan regleras au-tomatiskt i beroende av fordonshastigheten. En i samband meden ökning av fordonshastigheten beordrad förskjutning av vänd-skivan framåt för minskning av avståndet mellan dragfordonetsförarhytt (3) och påhängsvagnen utförs med högre förskjutnings-hastighet under tidsförlopp när en växlingsoperation hos dragfor-donet pågår än under tidsförlopp när ingen växlingsoperation hosdragfordonet pågår. När en förskjutning av vändskivan bakåt förökning av avståndet mellan förarhytten och påhängsvagnen skallutföras i samband med en minskning av fordonshastigheten be-ordras en bromsning av påhängsvagnen relativt dragfordonet föratt på så sätt underlätta förskjutningen av vändskivan bakåt. (Fig 1) SUMMARY The invention relates to a method and a system for subversively controlling the displacement position of a turntable (4) of a vehicle trailer comprising a towing vehicle (1) and a semi-trailer (2), wherein the displacement position of the turntable is controlled au -tomatically depending on the vehicle speed. A displacement of the turntable forwardly ordered in connection with an increase in vehicle speed to reduce the distance between the towing vehicle driver's cab (3) and the semi-trailer is performed at a higher displacement speed during time when a towing vehicle change operation is in progress than when no shift operation is underway. When a displacement of the turntable rearwards increases the distance between the driver's cab and the semi-trailer to be carried out in connection with a reduction of the vehicle speed, a braking of the semi-trailer relative to the towing vehicle is ordered in order to facilitate the displacement of the turntable backwards. (Fig. 1)

Shaped emitters with buried-junction structure

Disclosed is a radiation emitting diode in which a first layer of N-type GaAs and a second layer of N-type GaAlAs are formed on an N-type GaAs substrate. A localized zinc diffused region extends through the second layer and partially into the first layer to form a buried junction. Because of the higher bandgap energy of GaAlAs than of GaAs, the current density in the GaAlAs portion of the p-n junction is greatly reduced compared to that in the GaAs portion and the non-radiative surface components of current are greatly reduced. This results in a buried junction structure in which the radiation emitting region is removed from the surface. The buried junction structure provides devices having improved linearity of the radiant output power versus current characteristics and reduced degradation of radiant output power at constant current with time.
