_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Adjust foreground intensities for observed background using
     Normal+Exp Model. This function is called by 'backgroundCorrect'
     and is not normally called directly by the user.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     normexp.signal(par, x)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     par: numeric vector containing the parameters of the Normal+Exp
          distribution, see 'normexp.fit' for details.

       x: numeric vector of (background corrected) intensities

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     In general the vector 'normmean' is computed conditional on
     background at each spot.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Numeric vector containing adjusted intensities.
