Abstract: The invention targets at a QoS-aware handover procedure in a typical dynamic mobile ad-hoc
scenario (cf. Figs. 23 to 27) wherein the connectivity of fixed (AR1, AR2, CN) and/or
mobile nodes (MN, M1, M2, M3, M4, EN1, EN2) is unpredictably time-varying and, due
to the mobility of mobile nodes, handovers will inevitably frequently occur. Thereby,
resources are pre-allocated along potential routing paths in advance, and the flow traffic is
redirected to the path having the best available QoS capabilities. According to the new QoS
situation of the selected path, adaptive real-time applications can have the opportunity to
individually adjust traffic generation. With this concept, packet loss can be avoided and
degradation effects on the running real-time application during the QoS-aware handover
can be minimized. The QoS-aware handover procedure comprises the steps of handover
candidates selection, handover initiation, QoS metrics probing and resource pre-allocation
(soft reservation), QoS metrics collection, handover decision, handover confirmation (hard
reservation), and reservation release. 
     In particular, the proposed solution thereby pertains to a method for proactively probing the
QoS situation of each potential routing path, pre-allocating resources along the best
available QoS path before the handover of the QoS data flow to be transmitted to a new
access point (AP) is initiated, providing efficient resource reservation management and
maintenance within the underlying mobile ad-hoc networks and incorporating advanced
QoS support features offered by adaptive real-time applications. The invention further
proposes an "information dissemination" approach, which optimizes prior-art address
resolution mechanisms.

Abstract: An arrangement of hydrocyclones, resulting in a greater density of hydrocyclones packaged
in a given volume. One or more overflow extensions is secured to the overflow portions of one or
more hydrocyclones to permit individual hydrocyclones to be placed into an axially staggered
arrangement with respect to each other. By keeping the larger hydrocyclone heads from being
directly adjacent that of a neighbor's, the maximum diameter of the hydrocyclones no longer
becomes a limitation on the proximity of one hydrocyclone to another. The inlet section of one of a
group of hydrocyclones is disposed to be adjacent either the separation portion of an adjacent
hydrocyclone or an overflow extension, thereby permitting denser packaging. In another aspect,
groups of axially staggered hydrocyclones are axially offset from and intermeshed with one another,
permitting greater density in packaging. The groups of hydrocyclones are arranged into building
blocks of three hydrocyclones each such that the axial ends of the individual hydrocyclones form a
triangle, most preferably an equilateral triangle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting a running disturbance in a running web (06), preferably of a paper web, comprising a normal web path (13), which is followed by the web when in an undisturbed state, and comprising a sensor (09). The sensor is a distance sensor, which quantitatively detects a distance of the web from the normal web path followed thereby when in an undisturbed state, and detects a running disturbance when the distance of the web from the web path exceeds a predetermined value. In another device, the sensor uses an emitter for emitting a sampled signal and a receiver for registering the scanned signal after propagating on a beam path. The beam path runs along the side of the normal web path and the sensor detects a running disturbance when the web enters the beam path.
