There is provided an apparatus for treating garments and fabrics in a dry or wetted state or in an aqueous liquid. By rotatably connecting the pivots and the hanging support set, the hanging support set can rotate in relation to the pivots so as to extend in radial form. An OS operator can obtain information from the fibre channel network about the fibre channel storage data zones available to the physical fibre channel adapter port and can specify that one or more zones can be accessed by a specific processor or group of processors. The forwarding mechanism can be configured to forward the first packet using header information of the first packet, and forward the second packet using header information of the second packet. The PDSN then refers to the flow label set in the outer IPv6 header to identify the object IP flow in the mobile IPv6 tunnel. An additional source of light that can be controllably switched on and off between a first light intensity and a second light intensity which is greater than the first one uniformly illuminates the infrared detector for deriving correction values for correcting the signals from each of the photoconductors during a measurement.
