Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle including a drive mechanism having at least a first drive unit and at least a second drive unit is provided. The method includes providing a drive torque directed at the driving of the motor vehicle in a first setting of the drive mechanism only by means of the second drive unit and in a second setting by means of both drive units, wherein upon exceeding a start-up threshold value by a demanded preset power there is a switching from the first setting to the second setting, and upon falling below a shut-off threshold value by the demanded preset power there is a switching from the second setting to the first setting. It is provided that the start-up threshold value and/or the shut-off threshold value is determined in dependence on a driving resistance of the motor vehicle and/or a vehicle weight of the motor vehicle. A motor vehicle employing the method is also provided.

Abstract: A method for automatically checking an installation of a cooking appliance that exchanges data with at least one control unit at least intermittently, in which at least one enable signal or blocking signal is produced as a function of installation data of the cooking appliance, where payment for the installation is enabled on production of the enable signal or is blocked on production of the blocking signal. A cooking appliance for performing such a method and a network having such cooking appliances.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming an edge enclosure. A defining mould (100) is provided, in which at least one disc-shaped element (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) is arranged and which surrounds the element at least at the edge. The at least one element is set in rotation (40), whereby casting compound introduced into the defining mould localises in the edge region (7) of the at least one element and cures there, so as to produce an edge enclosure (10) which at least partially surrounds the at least one element in a form-fitting manner.
