Erfindungsgemäß wird die für Verkehrsumverteilung zur Verfügung stehende Bandbreite erhöht, indem bei einer Störungskorrektur mittels des ersten Fehlerkorrekturmechanismus durch Umverteilen von Verkehr für eine Störungskorrektur mittels des zweiten Fehlerkorrekturmechanismus zur Verfügung gestellte Bandbreite zum Routen von Verkehr verwendet wird.

Ich bin mir nicht klar darueber, wie ich "mittels" jeweils in den Satz einbinden kann.

Ken Cox Feb 14, 2008:
On the other hand, maybe that author deserves a prize for constructing a German sentence that positively pulsates with ambiguity and defies reliable interpretation (not easy given German syntax rules).
Petra Williams (asker) Feb 14, 2008:
Thanks Yes, it is a patent abstract. I totally agree, the author should be shot. To translate "mittels" by "by means of" makes sense. I still don't have a good idea what to do with that "sentence".
Bernhard Sulzer Feb 14, 2008:
clarif.: It sounds as if "this text" is supposed to be Patentese.
Bernhard Sulzer Feb 14, 2008:
I doubt that a translation of the word "mittels" by itself is of help here. Or is it? Just wondering. What do you think is the subject of this passive voice construction? It sounds as if it is supposed to be Patentese, but it's not really understandable.
Cilian O'Tuama Feb 13, 2008:
Is it Patentese or Engineering (general) you're looking for? If the latter, the author should be shot.

What an amazing mess.

In case you want a hypothesis on how to interpret the meaning of this passage, here's my guess.

(1) They want to increase the bandwidth available for rerouting traffic in the event of a problem.

(2) There are two mechanisms for fault correction, and each has a certain amount of bandwidth allotted to it.

(3) What they appear to be saying is that when correcting a problem by means of mechanism 1, they will reroute traffic so that they can use some of the bandwidth allotted to mechanism 2.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bernhard Sulzer : yes, one can interpret it that way!
