Abstract: A method and apparatus for decreasing spherical aberration in a lens
system for imaging one-dimensional optical samples. In one embodiment the
apparatus includes a pair of lenses having a field stop with a slit aperture
positioned therebetween. An optical detector array is also provided and is
positioned to receive a an image transmitted therethrough from the optical
sample. The field stop slit is oriented perpendicular to the direction of the optical
sample. The spherical aberration in the direction of the one-dimensional optical
sample is decreased in proportion to the square of the aperture h while the
transmitted intensity is only decreased in linear proportion to h.

Abstract: The invention concerns signalling methods in cellular telecommunication systems, especially in so called third generation cellular systems, such as the UMTS system. In the inventive method the network checks, if the mobile station is in or is about to enter into such a state, in which the mobile station needs a c-RNTI, and if that is the case, the c-RNTI is indicated to the mobile station. Preferably, the indication is effected by attaching the c-RNTI identifier to a message, which causes the change of the mobile station to the state, in which the mobile station needs the c-RNTI identifier.

Said keys can be switched by means of special shift keys (3b, 5u) and in such a way that numbers (5b), special signs (5c, d), text cursors (5e) or control functions can be allocated thereto, whereby said shift keys are operated by the thumb. Additional allocations can be programmed and can be activated by means of the system key. Excursion of the control handles (2) results in the mouse cursor being moved or control functions (6a, b, c), such as Enter/Escape or PageUp/PageDown, being released. The mouse cursor or text cursor function can be activated or deactivated by pushing a button (3a, b). The components (2a) of the handle can be adapted in size and position and can be positioned on the ends of arm rests (4d), whereby said components pertain to the control handle units (1). The inventive data input device is not designed like a conventional data input device that has key elements positioned in one plane. Configuration is adapted to the natural and relaxed position of the hand in such a way that a pronation movement of the hand for pushing the key elements is completely avoided.
