  • Publication number: 20240198563
    Abstract: A method for processing particle foam material for producing a particle foam molding includes generating a first process fluid flow which flows through a mold cavity defined by two mold elements, wherein the first process fluid flow flows into the mold cavity via at least one opening of a first mold element and flows out of the mold cavity via at least one opening of a second mold element. The method also includes generating a second process fluid flow, wherein the second process fluid flow flows into the second mold element via at least one opening of the second mold element and flows out of the second mold element via at least one opening of the second mold element, wherein the first and the second process fluid flow differ in at least one flow parameter that influences the flow properties.

  • Patent number: 11653265
    Abstract: For each target cell determined by a handover decision process, a first message is transmitted from a source base station (20S) to a target base station (20T) servicing that target cell. The first message includes an identifier of a wireless device (10) having a communication link with the source base station and information for obtaining authentication data for this wireless device. The authentication data depends on a secret key available to the wireless device and the source base station and on an identity of the target cell. Upon failure of the communication link, a cell is selected at the wireless device, which transmits to that cell a reestablishment request message including its identifier and authentication data depending on the secret key and on an identity of the selected cell.
