Abstract: A method detects a path in a communications network having a plurality of nodes with the aid of a routing metric. The method involves inputting a quantity determined on the basis of number of paths passing through the nodes in the routing metric.

Abstract: A rubber bearing, especially for the bearing support of a stabilizer bar in a motor vehicle, comprises two rubber half-shells. A thin rubber connecting piece connects the longitudinal side of one of the half-shells with the longitudinal side of the other one of the half-shells. The rubber connecting piece is arranged at the radial outer region of the half-shells to enable 180° of rotation of one of the half-shells with respect to the other one of the half-shells about the area of connection.

Abstract: Elastomeric bearing, consisting of an outer cover, at least one rigid intermediate body and a support body, whereby a suspension element is always located between two neighboring bodies. The suspension elements have different suspension characteristics in the radial and axial direction as well as different damping characteristics and can be adjusted using a controllable switch apparatus. It should be possible to precisely control an individual suspension element to produce different suspension and damping characteristics.

Abstract: A hydraulically damping rubber, elastomer an/or resilient bearing with at least one fastener is provided. The fastener is configured and designed to be fastened to a vehicle body. The bearing includes at least two fluid chambers containing damping fluid. The fluid chambers are located axially one behind the other in the elastomer body of the bearing. The elastomer body of the bearing is, preferably, designed as a one-piece component. A partition is provided in the bearing to separate the fluid chambers. The partition supports a disk and the partition, the disk and the elastomer body define the configuration of the fluid chambers. A ring-shaped element is also, preferably, provided, which at least, defines a fluid flow connection, or passageway, between the fluid chambers.
