Abstract: In a method for negotiating service configuration in a communication system having at least one dedicated channel which is not shared by communication devices in the communication system, a request message indicative of a proposed service configuration is generated in a service negotiator (20). The request message is multiplexed, in a multiplexer (22) coupled to the negotiator (20), with an information data signal to produce a multiplexed signal. The multiplexed signal is encoded in an encoder (24) interposed between the multiplexer (22) and a transmitter (26) in accordance with a service configuration selected by the service negotiator (20). The multiplexed and encoded signal is transmitted by the transmitter (26) over the dedicated channel. Received signals are decoded a decoder (16) interposed between a receiver (14) and a demultiplexer (18). A response message indicative of a response to the proposed service configuration is received by the receiver (14). A determination is made by the service negotiator (20) whether the response message is indicative of a mutually acceptable service configuration. The encoder (24) is directed by the service negotiator (20) to encode the information data signal in accordance with the proposed service configuration if the response message is indicative of an acceptable service configuration. The encoder (24) is directed by the service negotiator (20) to encode the information data signal with a universal default service configuration if the response message is not indicative of an acceptable service configuration.

Abstract: The invention is a device (30) for splitting a two-phase inlet stream (41) into two or more outlet streams (42, 43). The device can be designed to maintain close to identical vapor to liquid ratio in each of the outlet streams. The inlet stream to the device is routed via an inlet pipe (32) to a separator vessel (31). Below the inlet pipe entrance in the vessel an impingement plate (33) is provided to break down the high velocity of the stream and to direct the stream towards the inner walls of the separator where liquid will impinge and separate from the vapor phase. In the separator vessel, separation of the liquid and vapor phases is achieved. Inside the separator two vertical suction channels (34, 35) are located. These suction channels are in fluid communication with the two outlet pipes (44, 45) through which the outlet streams are leaving the separator. The lower ends of the suction channels are submerged in the liquid phase (39). The suction channels are provided with apertures (36) in the side walls. Vapor is flowing though the fraction of the apertures that are above the liquid surface in the separator. When vapor is flowing through these apertures a pressure drop across the wall of the suction channel is generated. Consequently liquid is lifted up into the suction channel. The liquid is mixed with the vapor inside the suction channel and the two-phase mixture is flowing upwards through the channel and is leaving the separator and two-phase stream splitter through the outlet pipes.
