Abstract: The invention relates to a glass item, at least one of the surfaces thereof having antimicrobial properties that are resistant to a temperature treatment, especially a temperature treatment in preparation of the subsequent tempering thereof. The glass item especially comprises an antimicrobial agent beneath the surface of the glass, and an inorganic component in the mass of the glass close to said surface, the concentration of the inorganic component being distributed according to a diffusion profile.

Abstract: A transparent glass-type substrate coated with a stack of thin layers and a process for the production of the substrate coated with a stack of thin layers which are deposited by pyrolysis. The stack of thin layers includes at least one titanium oxide-based underlayer and a tin oxide-based main layer, the coated substrate having a very low haze, while also exhibiting a low emissivity or favourable electrical conductivity.

Abstract: It is possible to reduce the time required for a path recalculation and a path switching upon occurrence of a failure. A path generation unit of a transport control server (TCS) S-1 generates normal path information in accordance with information relating to topology of a network to be established and resource information. Moreover, the path generation unit generates in advance backup path information to be used upon occurrence of a failure in accordance with the prediction topology information and the prediction resource information which have been modified in accordance with a predicted failure position. The path generation unit stores the generated prediction path information in a data storage unit. The TCS (S-1) has a path information report unit which reports the generated normal path information to a node N. The TCS (S-1) also has a failure information acquisition unit which detects occurrence of a failure.
