Techniques for protecting content to ensure its use in a trusted environment are disclosed. The stored content is protected against harmful and/or defective host (or hosted) environments. A trusted security component provided for a device can verify the internal integrity of the stored content and the host before it allows the content to come in contact with the host. As a counter part, a trusted security component provided for the host can verify and attest to the integrity of the host and/or specific host computing environment that can be provided for the content stored in the device. The trusted security component provided for a device effectively verify the host integrity based on the information attested to by the trusted security component provided for the host. If the trusted security component trusts the host, it allows the trusted host to provide a trusted host computing environment trusted to be safe for the content stored in the device. A trusted host can effectively provide a safe virtual environment that allows a content representing a copy (or image) of an original computing environment to operate on the host computing system to give a similar appearance as the original computing environment.

A system and method is provided for monitoring the activities and/or locations of wireless units in a wireless network independent of location-based service preferences of those wireless units. That is, a system and method is provided that allows an authorized requester override location-based service preferences (e.g., privacy settings) that may be set for a wireless unit. In this regard, an authorized entity may be able to effectively locate and/or monitor the activities of a wireless unit associated with an individual of interest. Furthermore, if proper authorization exists, such monitoring may be done surreptitiously without the wireless unit user's knowledge and/or consent. For example, in some instances, law enforcement agencies may be authorized to monitor call traffic and/or the location of persons utilizing wireless units.

A computer implemented method on a computer readable media is provided for determining the source of a problem in a complex system of managed components based upon symptoms. The problem source identification process is split into different activities. Explicit configuration non-specific representations of types of managed components, their problems, symptoms and the relations along which the problems or symptoms propagate are created that can be manipulated by executable computer code. A data structure is produced for determining the source of a problem by combining one or more of the representations based on information of specific instances of managed components in the system. Computer code is then executed which uses the data structure to determine the source of the problem from one or more symptoms.

A monitoring function-equipped dispensing system and a method of monitoring the dispensing system wherein conditions in a pipeline can be identified accurately and precisely by not only optically measuring conditions in the pipeline, but performing other measurements reinforcing the former. The system comprises: one or more translucent or semi-translucent pipelines; one or more pressure regulating units which respectively regulate the pressures in the pipelines; an elevating/lowering unit which enables the pipelines to be elevated/lowered; a pressure measuring unit which measures the pressures in the respective pipelines when operation instructions are given to the pressure regulating unit; an optical measurement unit which optically measures the conditions of the pipelines above the container disposition area, when operations based on operation instructions including operation instructions to the pressure regulating unit are completed; and a monitoring unit which judges the conditions in the pipelines based on the operation instructions and measurement results of the pressure measuring unit and the optical measurement unit so as to obtain monitoring results that associate the judged results with respective pipelines and the operation instructions.

The invention discloses a remote monitoring method and a remote monitoring system based on driving safety. The method comprises the steps that an intelligent automobile data recorder acquires driving behavior information of a driver; the intelligent automobile data recorder performs dangerous behavior analysis on the driving behavior information to acquire dangerous driving behavior information based on the driving safety and submits the dangerous driving behavior information to a cloud server; the cloud server analyzes data on the intelligent automobile data recorder to generate a data report. According to the method, the information such as the driving behavior and an automobile is submitted to the cloud server, so that the whole driving habit of the driver can be marked or graded, monitored and proofed due to logic analysis of the cloud, and the information of the driving behavior and the automobile is effectively monitored and managed; therefore, not only is the driving safety improved, but also the automobile management flexibility is improved. Compared with the prior art, the remote monitoring method and the remote monitoring system have the advantages that only a process of a bad driving behavior which is detected by a vehicle-mounted terminal system is monitored and stored, so that a wireless transmission bandwidth and storage resources of a server are saved.

The apparatus can also include a flow controller for distributing the gas flow among the filter stages. In one embodiment, the controller may consist of a diffuser plate. The invention also provides a sampling tube orifice for gas flow control in a system or method of the invention. In another embodiment, an apparatus for removing contaminants from a gas in a clean room comprises a filter unit having at least two parallel filter stages, which are used to remove a portion of the contaminants in the gas as it passes through the apparatus.

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for monitoring UE reachability in a wireless communication system. A method for monitoring UE reachability may include receiving, by a Mobility Management Entity, a monitoring request message for UE reachability including a maximum response time from a Home Subscriber Server, detecting, by the MME, the UE reachability if it is expected that paging is able to be transmitted to UE when extended Discontinuous Reception is applied to the UE, and sending, by the MME, a UE reachability notification to a Service Capability Exposure Function before a next paging occasion of the UE, wherein the maximum response time may indicate a time during which the UE maintains a reachable state so that downlink data is reliably delivered to the UE, and wherein an occasion when the UE reachability notification is transmitted may be determined by taking into consideration the maximum response time.
