Disclosed is a variable voltage protection device for electronic devices which in one aspect comprises a thin layer of neat dielectric polymer or glass positioned between a ground plane and an electrical conductor for overvoltage protection, wherein the neat polymer or glass layer does not include the presence of conductive or semiconductive particles. Also disclosed is the combination of the neat dielectric polymer or glass thin layer positioned on a conventional variable voltage protection material comprising a binder containing conductive or semiconductive particles. A multi-layer variable voltage protection component is disclosed comprising three layers of overvoltage protection material wherein the outer two layers contain a lower percentage of conductive or semiconductive particles and wherein the inner layer contains a higher percentage of conductive or semiconductive particles. The multi-layer component can optionally be used in combination with the neat dielectric polymer or glass layer and can optionally have interposed metal layers. A method is disclosed for dispersing insulative particles and conductive or semiconductive particles in a binder using a volatile solvent for dispersement of the insulative particles and the conductive or semiconductive particles before mixing with the binder.

An apparatus and a method for controlling the use of a SIM card mounted in a mobile terminal by employing a fraud technology includes comparing data related to the SIM card received from a network to information read from the SIM card in the terminal as part of a terminal initialization process and generating a control signal to cause an RF antenna switch to open or close an RF antenna loop structure in order to disable or enable a requested SIM card function. The data received form the network and the information read from the SIM card in the terminal include subscriber information and transportation card information that allow a determination of whether a user requesting a SIM card function is the subscriber entitled to access the function. If the data received form the network and the information read from the SIM card are identical, the requested SIM card function is approved. If the data received from the network and the information read form the SIM card are not identical, the requested SIM card function is not approved. Optional password protection of SIM card functions may also be provided.

Method and system for ordering, loading and using admission tickets for access to access-controlled service devices, in which admission tickets are ordered from a reservation center through transmission of order data via an order channel, the order data comprising the call number of a mobile communications terminal to which the ordered admission tickets are transmitted via a mobile network and are stored there in a memory module. The data exchange between this memory module and a reading device of a said service device takes place over a contactless interface. Decisions about the access authorization of the user of the said communications terminal are made, for example in the reading device or in the communications terminal, taking into account the ticket information contained in the said admission ticket, for example limited to a digitally signed ticket number or with indications about the respective service device, and, in accordance with the decision, access to the service device is given or denied to the user through an access device connected to the said reading device.
