The present invention relates to prioritizing special cells in cell selection in a cellular radio network. In a cellular radio network one or more cells provide a subscriber with special services or tariffs not offered to all subscribers. These cells are called subscriber's special cells. The mobile station measures an average reception level and calculates by means of them cell selection parameters on the basis of which the best cell is selected. In accordance with the invention, when the mobile station detects that the cell is one of cells of a special cell list stored in a memory, it checks first if the cell fulfils a minimum requirement of cell selection on the basis of the measured signal level. If the minimum requirement is fulfilled, the mobile station manipulates the calculation of the cell selection parameter of a special cell to the effect that the selection probability of a special cell is improved with respect to a normal cell. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the manipulation of the calculation comprises a step of adding a predetermined margin to the measured signal level of a special cell before the cell selection parameter is calculated. This will minimize the possibility that the mobile station would accidentally be camped on a normal cell when it is within the area of a special cell.

A computerized method is established to detect suspicious and fraudulent activities in a group of subjects by defining and dynamically integrating multidimensional risks, which are based on the characteristics of the subjects, into a mathematical model to produce a set of the most up-to-date representative risk values for each subject based on its activities and background. These multidimensional risk definitions and representative risk values are used to select a subset of multidimensional risk-weighted detection algorithms so that suspicious or fraudulent activities in the group of subjects can be effectively detected with higher resolution and accuracy. A priority sequence, which is based on the set of detection algorithms that detect the subject and the representative risk values of the detected subject, is produced to determine the priority of each detected case during the investigation process. To assist the user to make a more objective decision, any set of multidimensional risks can be used to identify a group of subjects that contain this set of multidimensional risks so that group statistics can be obtained for comparison and other analytical purposes. Furthermore, to fine-tune the system for future detections and analyses, the detection results are used as the feedback to adjust the definitions of the multidimensional risks and their values, the mathematical model, and the multidimensional risk-weighted detection algorithms.

An implantable cardiac stimulation device and associated method set an atrial capture detection window by verifying that inter-atrial conduction is intact, and then measuring the inter-atrial conduction time. The measured inter-atrial conduction time may then be used for setting the atrial capture detection window. Capture verification of a stimulated atrial site is then implemented by detecting a conducted depolarization at another atrial site or in the opposite atrial chamber. A signal received during an atrial capture detection window is compared to a depolarization signal threshold or to a depolarization signal template in order to verify detection of a conducted depolarization signal as evidence of capture at the stimulated site. By sensing depolarization signal away from the stimulated site, the negative effects of lead polarization normally encountered when detecting an evoked response are avoided.
