 *
 *	\ingroup UserDataStructures
 *
 *  The class TransferDevive serves as a base class for simulating Actuator
 *	and Sensor behaviour within the Process. It is intended to collect
 *	common features of the Actuator and Sensor.
 *
 *	At the moment, it basically stores an array of additive noise as well as 
 *	the dead times of each component. It also provides a common way to generate
 *	noise.
