Abstract: Method for configuration of proximity relationships of cells (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) of a cellular land mobile network, between adjacent cells proximity relationships being formed in order to be able to hand over checked-in cellular terminals and existing connections between cellular terminals and a first cell (1) from the first cell (1) to an adjacent second cell (3, 4, 5, 6, 7), termination of a connection between a checked-in cellular terminal and the first cell (1) being detected, and detection of that cell (2) taking place in which after the termination of a connection the next connection set-up of the cellular terminal takes place within a second cell (2) of the land mobile network, and that a statistical evaluation of a definable minimum number of detected connection terminations and connection set-ups is done and when a definable proportional boundary value is exceeded for connection terminations in the first cell (1) and new connection set-ups in a certain second cell (2) relative to the total number o

Abstract: The invention regards a system (10) and method for managing BLOBs. The system combines a file subsystem (20) and a database subsystem (30), wherein the database subsystem (30) comprises relations between file names of files (40) comprising a BLOB (50) and BLOB names. In the event of modification of a file (40) containing a BLOB (50), a new file, having a new file name, is created, where a relation between the new file name and the BLOB name is created within a database transaction in the database subsystem (30). By thus extending the ACID-properties of database transactions to files, it is ensured that operations on BLOBs in the system (10) meet the ACID-requirements while keeping the efficiency of operations on files.

Abstract: A method for preventing ping-pong handover in mobile radio networks having a multiplicity of stationary base stations at a distance from one another, and also stationary and/or moveable mobile radio stations, such as mobile radio telephones, which are in the transmission and reception range of the base stations. Repeated unwanted handover of a mobile radio station in the connected/active mode from a source base station to a destination base station is reduced or prevented. System messages are transmitted between the mobile radio stations and the base station, wherein the system messages for initiating the handover are used to transmit historical information relating to handovers which have already been performed, that information being used to automatically ascertain and set optimum operating parameters for the mobile radio stations and/or at least one of the base stations which are involved.

Abstract: In a method and a system (20) for creating or updating entries in a speech recognition (SR) lexicon (7) of a speech recognition system, said entries mapping speech recognition (SR) phoneme sequences to words, said method comprising entering a respective word, and in the case that the word is a new word to be added to the SR lexicon, also entering at least one associated SR phoneme sequence through input means (26), it is provided that the SR phoneme sequence associated with the respective word is converted into speech by phoneme to speech conversion means (4.4), and the speech is played back by playback means (28), to control the match of the phoneme sequence and the word.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing sound data and text data, said text data being obtained by manual transcription of said sound data during playback of the latter The proposed method comprises the steps of repeatedly querying said sound data and said text data to obtain a current time position corresponding to a currently played sound datum and a currently transcribed text datum, respectively, correcting said current time position by applying a time correction value in accordance with a transcription delay, and generating at least one association datum indicative of a synchronization association between said corrected time position and said currently transcribed text datum. Thus, the proposed method achieves cost-effective synchronization of sound and text in connection with the manual transcription of sound data.
