Abstract: The invention relates to an operational method for a network with terminals (EG1,...EGm) that can be interconnected by switching nodes ( K1,...Km) of the network, wherein other appropriately authorized terminals can also become involved in communication once a link has been established between two terminals. When a terminal (EG1) involved in said communication wishes to maintain communication with only one terminal (EG2) and terminate communication with remaining terminals (EG3 to EG6), said terminal (EG1) sends a corresponding request to all switching nodes (K1...K5) participating in the communications network set up by the terminals (EG1 to EG6). Upon receiving such a request, each switching node of the communications network sends a corresponding confirmation back to the switching nodes issuing said request. To this end, a switching node only returns confirmation to the switching node which has sent it a request when it receives confirmation from all switching nodes to which it has sent a request. Once confirmation arrives in the switching node (K1) to which the terminal (EG1) issuing the request is allocated, said switching node (K1) sends a request for disconnection of the terminals concerned (EG3 to EG6) to the other switching nodes (K2 to K5) whereby the switching nodes (K1, K2, K4, K5) allocated to the terminals (EG3 to EG6) to be separated, disconnect said terminals from the communications network.

Abstract: The mold temperature is controlled by using signals from temperature sensors in the mold to open and shut cooling water flow valves. Two different temperature threshold values are used to open and to shut the valves during the molding cycle. The temperature indicated by the sensor can show one or two peaks during the molding cycle, depending on its position relative to the mold walls and the cooling channel walls. The opening threshold value for opening the valve (tauf) is below that for closing (tzu) the valve. Optionally the first threshold can be offset by a time interval (ts).

Abstract: A mobile station for measuring signal strength of a set of channels includes a synthesizer, a controller and a transceiver. During an idle period, the controller loads channel data of the set of channels contained into a memory block in the synthesizer. The synthesizer automatically selects the channel data for each channel stored in the memory block and generates a frequency signal corresponding to the selected channel data. The transceiver measures the signal strength data of the selected channel data and stores the signal strength data in a buffer. Once the signal strength data for the entire set of channels has been measured and stored in the buffer, the transceiver transmits the signal strength data to the controller. The set of channels may include a set of channels from a neighbor cell list or measurement order transmitted by the radio base station. The set of channels may also include a set of control channels that the mobile station measures at power-up.
