The invention relates to inferring the state of a system of interest having a plurality of indicator values and possibly being heterogeneous in nature. A number of indicator values from a control state and from a comparison state are gathered. From these indicator values, classification power between the control and comparison states (measure of goodness) is computed. Difference values are computed for the indicator values from the system of interest based on the difference to the indicator values from control and comparison states. From a number of these indicators, composite indicators are formed, and composite measures of goodness and composite difference values are computed. A plurality of composite indicators may be formed at different levels. These indicators may be represented as a tree and grouped according to content, and at the same time they may be arranged according to the measure of goodness or some other value. The indicators, measures of goodness, and difference values may be visualized and shown to a user, who may use such a representation for inferring the state of the system.

METHOD FOR CREATING A DIFFRACTIVE OPTICAL EFFECT ON A TARGET SURFACE AND A TRANSFER FOIL OF A DIFFRACTIVE OPTICAL ELEMENT
A fine structure, which produces a diffractive optical effect, is in the method created onto the target surface (120). A transfer foil (100) manufactured from thermoplastic is used in the method, on the surface of which is first created an original fine structure (102), which produces a diffractive optical effect. The original fine structure can be created with electron beam lithography, chemical or plasma etching or various printing techniques, such as screen printing or hot embossing. The transfer foil is placed on the target surface, and it is heated to a temperature, which is close to the glass transition temperature of the material of the transfer foil. Simultaneously during the heating or immediately after the heating the transfer foil can be lightly pressed against the target surface, whereby material from the transfer foil adheres to the target surface. When the transfer foil is removed from the surface of the object, the material of the transfer foil, which has adhered to the target surface, makes up a copied fine structure (104), which is a mirror image of the original fine structure of the transfer foil. Fine structures, which produce a diffractive optical effect, can be manufactured with the method for different purposes, such as a copied fine structure, which produces a decorative optical effect, or a copied fine structure, which functions as a coupling grating for a light beam.

A METHOD FOR UTILISING THERMAL SPRAYING IN THE PRODUCTION OF STRUCTURES CONTAINING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
According to the invention, thermal spraying can be used to integrate electric, pneumatic or hydraulic structures into existing mechanical structures. The producing of the structure being integrated begins by thermally spraying either conductive or dielectric material onto the surface of the structure which is the object of the integration process. If the base material is dielectric, conductor structures can be thermally sprayed on top of the base material. If the base material is at least partly conductive, a layer of an insulating ceramic substance is first thermally sprayed on top of it. A metallic, conductive substance is sprayed through a mask on top of the insulating ceramic layer. This results in a conductor pattern according to the aperture of the mask being duplicated onto the base material. The conductor pattern thus formed can be covered with a mechanically, chemically, and/or electrically protective substance. If needed, the surface of the protective layer can be further processed to the desired surface coarseness.

The invention relates to an optical or infrared (IR) spectrometer suitable for on-line measurements for industrial, agrculture, field, commercial and other similar applications. Optical spectrometers are very useful for various analytical measurements. On-line operation is needed for obtaining real-time information, which is useful e.g. for process automation and quality control needs. The invention is based on optical design optimized for measuring moving samples (3) at a distance and comprises a light guide (6) for signal homogenisation, a linear varible filter (11) for defining multiple measurement wavelengths as well as a linear detector array (12) for detecting optical signals relating to the different wavelengths. There are means (13) for cooling and stabilizing the operating temperature of both the linear detector array (12) and the linear variable filter (11), while the spectrometer is operating in variable enviromental conditions. Thanks to the optical signal chain designed to maximize the radiance at the detector, the proposed spectrometer can provide high signal-to-noise ratio and high speed.

The invention relates to a packaging technique for optical waveguide components and particularly for connecting optical light channels (2) and optical fibres (11, 12) to each other precisely and with low losses. The invention is intended to eliminate the drawbacks of known methods and provide a new, precise, low-loss, and economical method for making a fibre-light-channel connection. In the method according to the invention, the edge of a light-channel chip (1) is patterned and/or coated in such a way that, when aligning the fibre-light-channel connection, the alignment light coming from the fibre is reflected back to the fibre considerably better from the location of the core of the light channel than from its surroundings. Thus, the fibre can be aligned with the light channel by maximizing the alignment light reflected back to the fibre. Alternatively, the alignment light reflected from the light-channel end can be used when applying cold welding to a fibre-light-channel connection.
The invention increases mobile broadcast reliability by providing effective error concealment and support for instantaneous inter-network hand over.

When there is a disturbance in broadcast reception (5), playback switches to low quality version read from the buffer (8). If the disturbance in broadcast reception continues, a mobile phone network data connection (7) may be established for receiving the content from there.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS TO AND USAGE OF A DIGITAL MEDIA OBJECT
A drawback of applying DRM to a mass-distributed digital media object resides in that it is difficult to find out a user who has stored the media object and then distributed illegal copies thereof. This can be prevented by extracting selected portions of data from a stream of an original digital media object and then mass distributing the remaining incomplete media object. The extracted portions are watermarked and then transmitted separately via a bidirectional communication channel to a user terminal. The terminal then inserts the watermarked portions into their original positions in the incomplete 10 media object so reproducing the original digital media object.
