Suddenly the chip vendors saw almost ALL of their demand go away, as well as all of their FUTURE orders.

Abschnitt 1.2.2 von Abschnitt 1.2 ist eine einleitende Übersicht ueber die andere 'theoretische Marschroute': schnellstmögliche Anomalie-Erkennung, insbesondere in sequenziellen Daten.

>ist nicht gut geschrieben: ein Satz ist ungrammatisch, ein anderer enthält ein #Plenking.
