  • Patent number: 9467939
    Abstract: A gateway control apparatus of a mobile communications network system, which is a termination point of signaling messages according to a first protocol, detects a first selection request via an interface of a first network technology from a mobility management entity, of selecting the gateway control apparatus for communicating user data in the mobile communications network system between an entity of the first protocol and a network of a second protocol. Based on the detected first selection request, the gateway control apparatus selects a distributed gateway device from plural distributed gateway devices for communicating the user data, and provides a second selection request of selecting the distributed gateway device via an interface of a second network technology independent from the first network technology.

  • Patent number: 9452576
    Abstract: A method of treating plastics material pre-forms may include conveying plastics material pre-forms by means of a conveying device, heating the plastics material pre-forms, during said conveying step, by a heating device, and treating the plastics material pre-forms, after said heating step, by a further treatment device in a further pre-set manner. The heating device and the further treatment device are operated in a synchronized manner at least for a time. In the event of an error state occurring in said further treatment device arranged downstream of the heating device, a supply of the plastics material pre-forms to the heating device is interrupted by means of a blocking device. Chronologically after the occurrence of the error state the further treatment device is brought into synchronism again with the heating device during a pre-set synchronization period.
