An apparatus for demagnetizing a shadow mask includes a shadow mask stocker, a cassette in the shadow mask stocker, wherein at least one shadow mask is disposed in the cassette, and a demagnetizing device that generates a magnetic field by an alternating current, thereby removing magnetism of the at least one shadow mask. Repeated patterns of one or more prosodic featuressuch as, for example, pitch, amplitude, spectral tilt, andor durationoccurring at characteristic locations in the synthesized speech, are advantageously used to convey a particular chosen style. The hook and loop material may be secured to indentations defined in the interior surface of the baffle. The method facilitates handovers in multi-RAT networks and decreases the signalling as part of the handover decision making is transferred to the terminal device. The processing then continues by performing at least a portion of the atomic sequence when the comparing of the sensed priority level with the corresponding priority level is favorable.
