Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a secondary node of a third radio access technology (RAT) that is operating as a secondary node for an inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) dual connectivity connection with a user device from a master node of a first RAT that is operating as a master node for the inter-RAT dual connectivity connection with the user device, a release request including a forward without sequence number indication that instructs the secondary node of the third RAT to forward, without sequence numbers, data for the dual connectivity connection to a target node of a second RAT, wherein the second RAT is different than the first RAT; and forwarding, by the secondary node of the third RAT towards the target node of the second RAT, via a data forwarding path that omits the master node of the first RAT, data without sequence numbers to the target node.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a component (1) from a curable material, a new layer (2) of the material being printed in periodically recurring steps in a 3D printing process onto a layer (3) located thereunder so as to have lower reinforcing elements (4) which protrude above the top of this new layer (2), and also relates to a component produced by a corresponding process. Known processes and components do not allow reinforcement over a large surface area. The object of designing a process in such a way that the reinforcement thereof withstands high loads is achieved by providing that, after each layer (3) has been printed, upper reinforcing elements (5) are connected to the lower reinforcing elements (4) so as to extend said lower reinforcing elements and so as to form the lower reinforcing elements of the subsequent layer. A corresponding component is the subject of claim 11.
