Abstract: An installation creates a source I/O definition file (IODF), defining a current system I/O configuration, and a target IODF, defining a future I/O configuration. When the configuration definition is dynamically changed from the current to the target, a serialization mechanism - comprising a "device pin" technique and a "group serialization" technique to handle changed device group definitions - insures that data integrity is not lost on devices undergoing reconfiguration; and a change detection mechanism insures that changes to control structures affected by the dynamic reconfiguration, are noticed by programs accessing those control structures while the structures are changing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing soil improving substances (soil conditioners) which resembles sphagnum peat, from waste paper, by hydromechanical treatment followed by drying at high temperatures. There are processes in which nutrients are added to waste paper or paper pulps, which are, in some cases, subsequently dried and incorporated into the soil as soil conditioners or fertilisers or applied to the soil as a mulch layer. The mulch layer is intended to protect the soil against desiccation or scorching. Since paper is not dimensionally stable due to a lack of thermal treatment and since it degrades rapidly, it cannot replace peat as a physical soil conditioner and as a base for potting composts. Waste paper lacks structural stability and can therefore not be used in a hydrolysis process, which is also known. In the process according to the invention, the waste paper is subjected to a mild hydromechanical treatment and subsequently dried at high temperatures around 200@C. The product has a structure which is very similar to that of sphagnum peat, and its effect is even superior.
