Abstract: A method and a regulation arrangement for controlling the dewatering profile in a former of a paper or board machine, which former comprises two forming wire loops (50, 60) having dewatering elements (52, 53, 64, 65) placed inside them, of which elements at least one comprises a blade element (64, 65) which extends transversely across the web with respect to the running direction of the wires and is in contact with one of the forming wires. In the method, the cross-direction profile of the flow channel defined between a first dewatering element (52, 53) situated inside a first forming wire loop (50) and a second dewatering element (64, 65) situated inside a second forming wire loop (60) is measured, and the location and/or the position of the blade element (64, 65) is adjusted based on the measurement result in order to regulate the thickness profile of a stock flow. The cross-direction profile of the flow channel can be measured by passing an alternating current of low frequency to a current rail situated in the second dewatering element (64, 65) and by measuring the strengh of the magnetic field created by it by at least two measuring devices which have been placed either in the first dewatering element (53) or, when the first dewatering element is a forming roll (52), in the same dewatering element (64) as the current rail.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'authentifier un support optique numérique, tel qu'un CD-ROM, ledit système déterminant si le support est une copie non autorisée ou l'original. Le support original est créé ou modifié, de sorte à contenir des emplacements anormaux d'où le transfert de données est effectué à des vitesses autres que celles qu'indiquerait une copie numérique standard. Un mode d'application du processus concerne l'analyse du chronométrage des différentes vitesses de transfert de données et n'implique pas nécessairement de retransmettre les lectures de données et ne requiert pas que le support montre des erreurs fatales, comme dans des méthodes traditionnelles. Ce procédé s'utilise dans des systèmes contrôlant l'accès à des copies non autorisées ou peut s'utiliser à d'autres fins d'information. Le vol, la distribution et le piratage du contenu numérique de supports optiques, comme des logiciels informatiques (de même que des jeux, des contenus vidéo, audio et le contenu de livres électroniques) s'effectuent fréquemment par copie directe dudit contenu sur un autre disque, à l'aide d'outils de copie d'usage courant et des supports optiques enregistrables ou la reproduction d'un support sur un autre disque produit en série. L'invention qui contribue à identifier de manière irréfutable une unité de support optique comme étant l'original et peut en conséquence identifier toute copie effectuée par n'importe quel moyen d'usage courant en tant que telle, peut empêcher un individu non autorisé d'utiliser toute copie non autorisée. Cette invention présente des avantages considérables pour les éditeurs de contenu qui souhaitent protéger leurs produits.
