Abstract: In identifying base stations in cellular telecommunication, system information is normally sent out on the Broadcast Control Channel, BCCH, taking up the first time slot (B) of a TDMA frame. In case of interference from other base station transmitting on the same frequency or when neighboring base station use the same identity code, BSIC, another BCCH (b) is transmitted on another time slot. The double BCCH, according to the invention, makes it possible to identify base stations, for example suitable as handover candidates in urban environments, even if they have sent their regular control information on the same frequency or with the same BSIC.

Abstract: The levo-isomers of certain imidazole derivatives, particularly medetomidine, have been found to be inverse agonists of adrenergic .alpha.-2 receptors and are therefore useful in the prevention or treatment of conditions associated with overexpression or hypersensitization of the adrenergic .alpha.-2 receptors, such as obesity, a withdrawal symptom to an adrenergic .alpha.-2 receptor agonist, a neurological disorder, multiple system atrophy, diabetes mellitus, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and drug-induced sensitization of adrenergic .alpha.-2 receptors. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably transdermal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for exposing laundry to be dried and/or laundry water to be heated to a source of radiation. In addition, the source of radiation is disposed so that it is transmitted substantially loss-free between the radiation source and the water or moisture which is to receive the energy. In one embodiment, a microwave generator is employed and is disposed as a compensation weight on the drum box of the drying and/or washing machine. Preferably, the drum box is made out of metal and has a plastic ring through which the microwave generator can transmit the microwave radiation. The microwave radiation passes through the plastic ring with relatively low loss and then passes through the air without loss to the moisture contained in the laundry in the drum, so that the laundry is heated up and dried by absorption. As a result, there is a considerable increase in efficiency.
