Abstract: The object of the invention is a method to determine channel information in a
cellular system, in which method user information is transmitted in information
frames, which are transmitted by the current cell base station, and in which method
neighbour cell base station information (105, 205, 305, 405, 505, 603, 612, 615,
622, 623, 632, 633) is received in order to synchronise to the neighbour cell base
station. Preferably the method can be used to speed up or to enable the
determination of channel information in connection with handover from the area of
one base station to another. In the method according to the invention the user
information transmission/reception is preferably interrupted during the reception
(205, 305, 612, 632) of user information, which can be i.a. the signal level, the base
station identity code (BSIC). In an urgent situation, during a rapid handover from
one cell to another, said information can then be received at a sufficient rate, in
other words also when an idle frame (102) can not be obtained in a favourable way.
The information is not received simultaneously with the transmission/reception of
user information, so that only one receiver is required.

Abstract: A conveying apparatus has a receiving surface
for a stack of printed products lying above one another,
with a conveying device adjoining the receiving surface.
A vacuum roll rotatable in the conveying direction can
act by means of a reduced pressure on the lower side of
the printed product in order to produce the desired
overlap. The upper tangential plane of the vacuum roll
thereby forms a part of the receiving surface. The
apparatus herein generates a stream of overlapping
signatures with the overlap between adjacent signatures
in the stream being uniform. Such uniform overlap
generally corresponds to the distance from the upstream
end of the receiving surface or signature support portion
of the apparatus to the vacuum roll, and more
specifically to the upstream edge of a transverse
manifold slot provided in the roll. Overlapped
signatures are fed by the roll to a downstream nip and
blower assembly for being pulled through the nip thereof.
The nip is shiftably mounted so as to adjust the size of
nip space during running of the apparatus to accommodate
for changing thickness of the signature material drawn
through the self-adjusting nip at any one time, such as
due to varying numbers of signatures being in the nip
space or when thicker folded over spines are therein.
The precise location at which air from the blowers is
directed back upstream against the signatures can be fine
tuned and preset as determined by the thickness of the
signatures to be run.

detection circuit (131), the other differential
amplifying circuit (133), a comparison circuit (134),
a reference control value (135), a reference current
generating circuit (136), and a voltage holding

value of the AGC circuits. With use of the reference

Abstract: Image data for a margin around the image area of a book form
original can be erased and image data for a book center portion
are obtained without loss. In a photograph mode, a low threshold
value is set in first binary conversion means 4, and image data
having been input are binary converted by using this value. Based
on the image data having been converted, a first coercion signal
generating unit 6 judges a margin around the original image. A
high threshold value is set to second binary conversion means 5
and image data having been input are binary converted by using
this value. Based on the image data having been converted, a
second coercion signal generating unit 7 judges a margin around
the original and a portion including a book center portion. A
character processing binary conversion unit 3 carries out binary
conversion on input image data for the portion within the original,
and outputs whitening data which erase the margin around the
original. A photograph processing binary conversion unit 2
carries out tone image binary conversion only on the book center
portion in the input image data and outputs the data thereof. An
image processing selecting unit 10 makes the image data for the
portion within the original image selectively output from the
character processing binary conversion unit 3 and makes the image
data for the book center portion selectively output from the
photograph processing binary conversion unit 2.

Abstract: A method, which may be carried through a computer and its modem, is used to minimize the
telephone time necessary to establish direct voice contact with the computer technician or other
service provider and to provide information to the technician about the computer system and
program. When contact is made through the modem with the information provider's PBX, the
caller's computer would send a signal, indicating whether this is a reconnect or a new contact. If
the customer support telephone line is for a number of programs or if there are different queues for
different problems, a dialog box can be used to supply the necessary information to select the
appropriate queue. The telephone system would provide an indication of the current wait time for
the particular product or problem taking into account not only the open lines currently in the queue,
but other callers who will be calling back at an appropriate time. The caller will then be informed
of length of the wait and that the caller can (1) have the caller's computer automatically call back
at the appropriate time without losing the place in line if the caller has a telephone connection to
his/her modem; (2) call back on a telephone not connected to the modem with a priority number
which will position the caller in the queue, if a caller does not have a handset attached to his/her
modem; or (3) continue to hold. If the information provider desires, it can eliminate or limit the third
option to a maximum hold period. If the caller wishes to call back, either through the computer or
manually, the PBX generates a priority code corresponding to the place in line which is supplied to
the caller's computer through its modem. At the call-back time, the computer will then place the
phone call to the appropriate number and when answered by the customer service telephone number
will supply the priority code and the caller will be placed in the queue based on the priority code.
The caller's computer may at the time voice contact is made, forward system and diagnostic
