Abstract: A present invention provides a method and a system for extracting information related to a pre-defined context from data sets written in semi-structured or unstructured form, such as a natural language text. The information related to the pre-defined context is stored in an information store in accordance with a pre-defined structural arrangement. Further, the individual data values in the extracted information are assigned weights depending on their relevance to attributes of the predefined context. The operation of assigning weights to the structured information provides a measure for comparing the relevance of a plurality of structurally arranged information to the attributes of the pre-defined context.

Abstract: A method for preparing a membrane to be assembled in a membrane electrode assembly is disclosed, comprising the steps of:  a) irradiating sections (4) of a polymer film (2) with electromagnetic and/or particle radiation with a predetermined irradiation profile in order to both define irradiated sections (4) and to form reactive centers, i.e. radicals, in said irradiated sections (4) of the membrane; thereby separating the irradiated sections (4) from each other by separation bands (6) of un-irradiated membrane sections;  b) exposing the film (2) comprising the irradiated sections (4) to a monomer or a mixture of monomers amenable to radical polymerization in order to achieve the formation of a graft copolymer in said irradiated sections (4).    This method and the respective assembly yield a membrane that has, due to the profile of the irradiation, separated regions of distinct and appropriate properties to serve as a fuel cell electrolyte. It is therefore possible to generate within the same membrane layer or membrane film sections which have in its swollen state proton-conductive properties adjacent to the separation band sections which are the remaining original insulating starting material. This allows to generate within a single layer a plurality of separate fuel cells. Furthermore, this method allows to achieve additional property gradients, such as conductivity, water uptake, etc., within the same "activated" section and also over the thickness of the membrane for the purpose of asymmetric grafting.

Abstract: The method involves transmitting a periodic signal from a subscriber unit at an initial predetermined power level. The power level is increased at a predetermined ramp up rate. The periodic signal is detected at a base station when a sufficient power for detection is achieved. A signal from the base station is transmitted which confirms the periodic signal has been detected. The confirmation signal is received at the subscriber unit. The predetermined power level ramp up rate is stopped when the confirmation signal is received. The initial predetermined power level is lower than the power level required for detection by the base station. The power level of the signal is increased at a second predetermined rate which is less than the first rate.
