Abstract: The present invention relates to a coated fibrous web and a method for producing it. According to the present invention, a coated fibrous web comprises a filler-containing base web that has a pigment-containing coating layer on at least one surface. The filler of the base web consists at least partially of cellulose or lignocellulose fibrils, on the surface of which light scattering material particles have been deposited. The filler comprises cellulose or lignocellulose fibrils having an average thickness less than 5 mum produced from plant fibres by refining and screening. Considerable advantages are achieved with the present invention. With the help of the composite filler, the formation of the fibrous web can be improved significantly without impairing the retention, which makes is possible to achieve an extremely smooth substrate for the coating. The smoothness of the surface can also be improved. Furthermore, the fines-based carrier fraction of the filler compresses the surface of the base paper so that the coating does not penetrate too much into the fibre network. Due to these reasons even a small amount of coating produces good coverage and quality improving cost-efficiency.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for reducing the number of false alarms in fault correlation software used to detect and diagnose faults in computer networks and similar systems. The fault correlation software includes rules that monitor a number of indicators that, if occurring together over a window of time, are known to cause or reflect the occurrence of a fault. The method involves monitoring the transition of these indicators from one state to another over the time window and determining the extent of the correlation of the transitions of the indicators. The determination that indicators monitored by a rule do not correlate closely in their transitions is used to reduce the likelihood of the rule finding correlation of the indicators as a whole. This in turn reduces the number of false alarms which the rule-based system might otherwise have transmitted.

Abstract: A system and method for the simultaneous transmission of point-to-point and broadcast signals over an optical network are provided. In accordance with this invention, the user terminals of the system are divided into groups of user terminals, each assigned a different waveband. Each user terminal within one group is assigned a different point-to-point code within its corresponding waveband for encoding and decoding point-to-point signals exchanged with the central office. A signal broadcast code is assigned per groups of users and therefore per wavebands, for all of the users of a same group to use. All signals on all wavebands are transmitted through the network, but each user terminal may only access point-to-point signals addressed to himself and a copy of the broadcast signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a steerable active tubular structure and an endoscope made from said structure. The tubular structure comprises a stack of modular units which are articulated together, two successive modular units (30a, 30b) which are adapted to pivot on at least one transversal rotational axis (R,R'), and actuators made from elastic return means (41,42) in shape-memory material, the stiffness of which varies according to the temperature, which are mounted between the said successive modular units using a return means mounted between the two successive modular units on one side of their common rotational axis. When the actuator is inactive the elastic return means returns the two modular units to their alignment position, and when the actuator is active the two modular units are pivoted by heating to vary the stiffness of the elastic return means to reach the desired position.
