Abstract: A bulked continuous filament with a three-sided exterior configuration is characterized in that each side has a smoothly curved contour extending between a first and a second rounded tip with an inwardly extending depressed region being disposed adjacent to each tip. Generally, the filament has an exterior modification ratio in the range from about 1.4 to about 2.0, and a tip ratio in the range from about 2.0 to about 4.0. The filament generally delta-shaped void with three major apices extending centrally and axially therethrough. Each side of the void is convexly shaped and formed from a pair of facets that meet to define minor apices. The void is oriented such that each major apex extends toward the approximate midpoint of one side of the exterior of the filament and each minor apex extends toward a tip of an exterior side. The distance (RM) from the geometric center of the void to each major apex and the distance (Rm) from the geometric center of the void to each minor apex defines an apex ratio (RM/Rm) in the range from about 1.0 to about 1.55. The void occupies from about four percent (4%) to about twenty-five percent (25%) of the cross sectional area of the filament. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for performing edits on related curves by automatically defining an associative entity that is upstream of either curve being connected. The connecting entity is called an 'intermediary'. When creating a connection between curves, irrespective of where they appear in the associative tree, their geometry is made dependent on a common intermediary that is placed upstream of both curves in the tree. With this structure, both curves are related to the intermediary but retain all the properties of being connected to each other. Any edit performed to either curve is redirected through the intermediary such that both curves are simultaneously modified, providing the user with bi-directional propagation of edits. The user does not need to keep track of the order that the curves were related.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for evaluation of a faulty point in a multi-stage optical amplifying and repeating transmission line which provides a totally new technique for searching for faults neither of the typical "command response type" or the "DCR method". When a fault occurs in an optical submarine cable, the profile exhibited by the optical spectral characteristics of the optical noise signal (ASE) successively amplified through the chain of optical amplifying repeaters at the downstream side of the faulty point changes in accordance with the number of the repeaters. The technique finds the number of the repeaters until the faulty point based on the change in the profile so as to evaluate the location of the faulty point and has a step (S11) of monitoring the optical spectrum at the light receiving end and a step (S12) of determining the location of the faulty point from the monitored optical spectrum.
