  • Patent number: 8965869
    Abstract: Methods and systems for displaying popular internet searches on a webpage are provided. Popularity data is received which includes a plurality of search terms, and each of the search terms has an associated popularity index. A determination is made as to whether any of the search terms is an approved term by referencing the search terms against a list of approved terms. If any of the search terms is an approved term, then that search term's corresponding entry in the list of approved terms is updated with that search term's associated popularity index. The search terms that are not approved terms define a set of unclassified search terms. The unclassified search terms are classified by updating the list of approved terms to include the unclassified search terms and their associated popularity indices.

  • Patent number: 8452146
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing an optical fiber includes: drawing an optical waveguide from a glass preform; applying a layer of a first coating material on the optical waveguide; curing the first coating layer material to obtain a first coating layer; applying a layer of a second coating material onto the first coating layer; applying a layer of colored coating material onto the second coating layer; curing the second coating material and the colored coating material in a single step to obtain a second coating layer superposed on the first coating layer and a colored coating layer superposed on the second coating material layer, the obtained second coating layer having an elastic modulus higher than that of the first coating layer and lower than that of the colored coating layer. An optical fiber and an apparatus for producing it are also provided.
