An apparatus and a method for managing service traffic in a communications network capable of providing voice, data, and AV services to a plurality of customers. Fast response time is provided in some embodiments. A compound according to the present invention, which is represented by a formula :, is a compound that can achieve the above-mentioned purpose. This logic, referred to as a scrambler, modifies an original cyclic redundancy check value associated with a message. The arrangement mitigates the problem of sputtered material escaping back out from the component and becoming entrained in the ion beam. The stop pins are rotatable in order to absorb the kinetic energy of the container blanks as they are fed to the apparatus and eliminate blank bounce.
