  • Publication number: 20050020283
    Abstract: An efficient and easily user-modified fixing of the conditions, under which the positional data of the user may be transmitted (8b) to a poller (11) is made possible by means of a method for polling the concordance of a user of a mobile radio terminal (13 in a mobile radio network, to the transmission (8b) of the positional data thereof to a poller (11), whereby in the case of a poll (1) by a poller (11) for the position (5) of the mobile radio, terminal (13), the poll data is supplemented according to a preset specification (20 or 21 or 22 or 23) for said poller (11), before a transmission (2c) of the polled data from the poll (1) to an exchange (14) in the mobile radio network (14, 16, (12), on the basis of which (20 to 23) it may at least be determined (14) whether a concordance on the part of the mobile radio terminal (13) for the transmission (8b) of the mobile radio terminal position to the poller (11) will be obtained.

  • Patent number: 5809488
    Abstract: In the control of a power station installation having a number of power station blocks, in which each power station block is controlled by using at least one reference variable, it is intended to permit reliable determination of especially favorable reference variables while also taking the current installation condition into account. To this end, a management system for the power station installation includes a computer unit which determines reference variables for the power station block or for each of the power station blocks through the use of a genetic algorithm, and an optimization module which is connected to the computer unit. The optimization module is connected to a number of neural networks and one neural network is assigned to each power station block.
