Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus (1) for processing an optical fiber unit, the apparatus comprising an extruder head (2) with an inlet (6) receiving an optical fiber unit (7) including at least one optical fiber (24) and an outlet (4) outputting with a tube speed a produced tube (3), and a capstan (25) receiving and passing on the produced tube (3), the produced tube contacting an outer periphery (19) of the capstan by extending around the capstan. In order to obtain a simple and reliable solution the apparatus comprises a feeding device (13) and a connection (8) to a fluid source (9).

Abstract: A communications system for providing services to communication terminals, each terminal being addressable by means of an address, the communications system comprising: a service provision unit for providing services to the terminals; and a service data storage unit for storing a set of service provision definitions, each service provision definition comprising a service field storing an indication of a service and an address field storing an expression specifying the address of one or more of the terminals; and a service logic unit arranged to receive communications in the system and compare an address specified in a communication with the expressions stored in the address field of each of the service provision definitions and on the basis of that comparison causing the service provision unit to provide a service to the terminal identified by the said address.
