Abstract: The method involves transmitting an acknowledged group call in a regional structured GSM-radio communications network (GSM), which includes mobile terminals (MS), base stations (BS), switching exchanges (MSC) and at least one hand-over interface to a data transmission network (DNW), realised in an interface control unit (IWF). A broadcast message (rr) is caused in one or more regions of the network, by one of the interface control units, using data received from the data transmission network. A part of the data in the broadcast is addressing a group of mobile terminals. An acknowledgement message is sent from the addressed terminals to the interface control unit, upon reception of the broadcast.

Abstract: An operational amplifier (34) has its inverting input connected to a electrochemical gas sensor (38) for amplifying the current produced thereby in response to presence of a predetermined gas. In order to determine whether a sensor (38) is indeed present and that a sensor present is serviceable, a transient is applied to the non-inverting input of the operation amplifier (34). The presence or absence of the sensor (38) alters the transfer function of the operational amplifier (34) in respect of the test signal. If a serviceable sensor (38) is present, the gain of the operational amplifier (34) is high for the transient resulting at square pulse output. However, if a serviceable sensor (38) is not present, the gain of the operational amplifier (34) is relatively low and the transient retains its original form. Consequently the presence of a serviceable sensor (38) can be determined from the output of the operational amplifier (34) in response to the transient test signal. A potential divider (40, 41) and a capacitor (42) produce a transient when the power supply to the sensor circuit is turned on. <IMAGE>

Date Sep. 12, 1996A special method recognizes patterns in measurement signals. Speech signals or signals emitted by character recognition apparatuses are thereby meant. For the execution of the invention, the hidden Markov models with which the patterns to be recognized are modeled are expanded by a special state that comprises no emission probability and transition probability. In this way, the temporal position of the sought pattern becomes completely irrelevant for its probability of production. Furthermore, the method offers the advantage that new and unexpected disturbances can also be absorbed without the model's having to be trained on them. In contrast to standard methods, no training on background models need be carried out. However, this means a higher expense during the recognition of the patterns, since the individual paths of the Viterbi algorithm have to be normed to the current accumulated probabilities in the path with respect to their probabilities, in order to be able to compare them. The inventive method offers the advantage that only the time segment of the measurement signal also containing the pattern has to be analyzed. An increased probability of a hit is thereby reconciled with a lower computing expense.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for thresholding gray-scale images containing text as foreground and dirt, colors, noise and the like as background. The method is adaptive in nature and can successfully separate a wide variety of text fonts and sizes, whether printed, typewritten, or handwritten, from the image background. The method uses multiple sets of thresholding process parameters in a contrast-based histogram evaluation to produce multiple candidate thresholded binary images. The method automatically selects the highest quality binary image, that is, the binary image that best represents text in the foreground, from among the multiple candidate binary images. The apparatus for implementing the method is a pipeline processor for highest speed.

Abstract: The invention provides intrafallopian devices and non-surgical methods for their placement to prevent conception. The efficacy of the device is enhanced by forming the structure at least in part from copper or a copper alloy. The device is anchored within the fallopian tube by imposing a secondary shape on a resilient structure, the secondary shape having a larger cross-section than the fallopian tube. The resilient structure is restrained in a straight configuration and transcervically inserted within the fallopian tube, where it is released. The resilient structure is then restrained by the walls of the fallopian tube, imposing anchoring forces as it tries to resume the secondary shape.
