equipping the at least one echo canceller with a programmable probe (22a, 22b, 22c, or 22d); 
programming the programmable probe through a management protocol with appropriate commands to obtain the selected function parameter from the at least one echo canceller through a suitable network protocol; 
receiving and storing the selected function parameter collected by the programmed probe; 
interpreting the selected function parameter by determining whether the selected function parameter or a value derived therefrom deviates from a reference by more than a preselected threshold to produce an indication that the preselected threshold has been exceeded;

Abstract: A coarse, adhesion-reducing structure is first produced on the roller surface. A carbon coating is applied by physical and chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) at atmospheric pressure. Hydrocarbon- and silicon-containing precursors are used to form a C-H-Si-O network. Fluorine is incorporated into the coating, by supplying a fluorine precursor. The proportion of hydrocarbon- and silicon-containing precursors is reduced, so that the coating exhibits various compositions containing the elements C, H, Si, O and F. The fluorine precursor is supplied in increasing proportion, such that the layer produced has a fluorine content increasing, and a silicon content decreasing, as the surface is approached from its interior. In the first stage, the C-H-Si-O network is formed, then in the second stage, fluorine is incorporated into the coating. The stages run simultaneously. The precursors are supplied in an argon-nitrogen-plasma atmosphere. The coating surface includes anti-adhesion carbon-fluorine compounds in various compositions. The coating surface has a fluorine content of about 50%. The carbon coating is applied in conformation with the rough structure. In the apparatus used, a reactor head traverses the rotating roller. The head makes no contact with it. Together, the head and roller enclose a reaction chamber to which the PACVD plasma current and gases are supplied. The gas flows include precursors in various compositions, and blanketing gas. The reactor head encloses a narrow gap. Ingress of ambient air into the reactor head is prevented by use of the blanketing gas. Egress of reactive gases to the exterior is also prevented in this way. The tight gap at the reactor head follows the roller surface contours. An independent claim IS INCLUDED FOR corresponding apparatus.

Abstract: An efficient network formation technique for communication networks like mobile ad-hoc wireless networks according to the present invention overcomes bandwidth overhead due to generation of database update or Link State Advertisement (LSA) messages in response to changes in certain parameters (e.g., node group size, etc.) with respect to both single and plural node group scenarios. The present invention controls flooding of LSA messages triggered by changes in these parameters (e.g., node group size), thereby reducing overhead traffic during network start-up. This is achieved without impact on message delivery capability and group merge operations. After network start-up is complete and the network is formed, the present invention continues to reduce LSA flooding in a mobile scenario when radios or nodes move into and out of range with one another.

Abstract: A blade (10) for a rotor of a wind turbine (2) has a substantially horizontal rotor shaft, the rotor comprising a hub (8), from which the blade (10) extends substantially in a radial direction when mounted to the hub (8). The blade comprises a profiled contour including a leading edge (18) and a trailing edge (20) as well as a pressure side and a suction side, the profiled contour when being impacted by an incident airflow generating a lift. The profiled contour is divided into a root region (30) with a substantially circular profile closest to the hub, an airfoil region (34) with a lift generating profile furthest away from the hub, and a transition region (32) between the root region (30) and the airfoil region (34). The profile of the transition region (32) gradually changes in the radial direction from the circular profile of the root region to the lift generating profile of the airfoil region. The suction side comprises at least a first zone (40, 42), which extends substantially in the direction of the incident airflow, and which is positioned in a zone of a cross-flow. The first zone (40, 42) comprises a first barrier generating means (x06) adapted to generating a barrier of airflow, which extends essentially in the direction of the incident airflow, the barrier of airflow being of sufficient strength and length so as to effectively reduce the cross-flow.
