No signaling between the mobile communication device (300) and the network or any service provider within the network is necessary to specify the current location of the mobile communication device. Furthermore, there is no need for a geomessaging message provider to know which mobile communication device is currently located within a specific first area.

Abstract: A mathematical scattered radiation model with a number of parameters is specified. A test object is scanned with an X-ray system to generate a first raw dataset. The test object is scanned again to generate a second raw dataset, this time with an intermediary X-ray mask having at least one X-ray transparent region and at least one X-ray non-transparent region between the X-ray source and the test object. Parameter values are determined based on the first raw dataset and on the second raw dataset, and the scattered radiation model is calibrated with the parameter values. An examination object is scanned with the X-ray system to generate a third raw dataset and the third raw dataset is processed with the calibrated scattered radiation model to generate a corrected third raw dataset. A set of X-ray image data is generated from the examination object based on the corrected third raw dataset.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the machining of toothed workpieces, in particular for the plastic reshaping of the tooth edges at the ends of the teeth through a meshing tooth engagement with a tool that is rotatable with free-running mobility about its axis of rotation, in particular a chamfering tool, wherein between the machining of one workpiece and the next, the tool is subjected to a traverse movement, whereby the tool is caused to perform a rotary movement so that, if a tool region (6a, 6b) that is designed for the initial engagement with the work pieces is not suitably positioned, it is brought into a position that is suitable for the machining of the next work piece, wherein the rotary movement is effected by coupling the rotary movement at least in sections to the traverse movement.
