The public service message location broadcast system and method provides for broadcasting a message to communication receiving devices located within a defined geographic broadcast target area. The broadcast target area is defined by a broadcast agent using a broadcast agent webpage and a broadcast service bureau transmits the broadcast message to one or more local carriers who provide telecommunication service to the broadcast target area. The local carrier transmits the broadcast message to targeted users within the broadcast target area.

Some embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product related to coexistence of two network operators, for example a local operator and an incumbent operator. In certain embodiments, a method may include monitoring if network information from a server part of an application is received by a client part of the application. The client part is connected to the server part via a first network that uses a radio access technology. The network information is related to a second network that uses the radio access technology, the second network being different from the first network. The method also includes controlling a cellular radio layer such that it interworks with the second network based on the received network and authentication information.

An electromagnetic flowmeter for measuring a flow rate of a fluid in a pipe is described. A pipe carries a fluid. A magnetic coil is disposed adjacent to the pipe for inducing a magnetic flux in the fluid. A plurality of electrodes are disposed within the pipe, and the plurality of electrodes are electrically isolated from one another. Measurement circuitry is coupled to at least one of the plurality of electrodes and is configured to measure flow rate as a function of a potential across the plurality of electrodes. An empty pipe detector is coupled to at least one of the plurality of electrodes and is adapted to detect an empty pipe condition based upon an adjustable test criteria. In one embodiment, a local operator interface is coupled to the empty pipe detector for adjusting the adjustable test criteria.

A system, computer program product and method for booting to a partition in a non-volatile storage unit without a local operator. In one embodiment, one or more bits in a BOOT register may be set by an operating system indicating if the BIOS should boot to the partition. The BIOS may then read the BOOT register to determine if the BIOS is to boot to the partition as well as any activities to perform if the BIOS is to boot to the partition. In another embodiment, a network interface card may insert directive information received from a packet in a register within the network interface card. The BIOS may then read the register within the network interface card to determine if the BIOS is to boot to the partition as well as any activities to perform if the BIOS is to boot to the partition.

A technique is provided for providing information about the local environment of an imaging system to a remote operator of the imaging system. The information may be provided by one or more local sensors situated about the imaging system, such as video cameras, microphones, pressure sensors, or climatological sensors, or by one or more local operators. The information may provide the remote operator with indications of the presence or absence of a patient or personnel in the imaging system environment, indications of the position of moving components of the imaging system, and / or indications of the climatological conditions at the site of the imaging system. The remote operator may operate or activate the imaging system in view of the available information concerning the local environment of the imaging system.

An apparatus operable is a hazardous area for controlling a choke assembly includes an air source, an air purge system in fluid communication with the air source, a remote operating panel receiving data from at least one remotely located wellbore sensor, a local operating panel in electronic communication with the remote operating panel, and an actuator coupled to the assembly to control pressure within the wellbore. The remote operating panel includes an airtight housing in fluid communication with the air purge system, wherein air from the air purge system is circulated through the housing, a plurality of operator controls for manually controlling operation of the pressure control assembly, and a display for visually displaying values of data received from the wellbore sensor. The local operating panel includes an airtight panel housing in fluid communication with the air purge system, wherein air from the air purge system is circulated through the panel housing, and a local operator controller having an operator interface for receiving operator instruction input into the local panel, and operable to receive operator instructions from the remote panel and transmit operator instructions. The actuator includes a motor in an explosion-proof housing coupled to the choke plate and operable to adjust the orifice through the choke plate, wherein the motor receives electronic communication of the operator instructions transmitted by the local operator controller, and a position indicator coupled to the choke plate for sensing the orifice opening and providing feedback of the choke plate position to the motor.

The invention provides a message load balancing method, device and system. The method comprises the steps that: a load balancing server receives user request messages replicated and introduced into alocal operator network; and the load balancing server performs load balancing of the user request messages to a corresponding redirect server. By means of the message load balancing method, device andsystem provided by the invention, the user request messages replicated and introduced into the local operator network are subjected to load balancing to the redirect server through the load balancingserver; a user redirect service function is realized; the problem that load balancing cache control is realized through special hardware equipment in the prior art can be solved; and the expense of purchasing hardware load balancing equipment is saved for an operator.

A method is disclosed that is to be executed for supporting operator commands in a link aggregation group at a network device. The method starts with receiving a local operator command for changing aggregation port priority of the link aggregation group, where the local operator command contains operator command attributes including an operator command aggregation port prioritized list. The method continues with determining that the operator command aggregation port prioritized list is different from a remote aggregation port prioritized list used at the remote network device. The network device then transmits a set of operator command attributes associated with the local operator command to the remote network device and performs the local operator command by setting a local aggregation port prioritized list to be consistent with the operator command aggregation port prioritized list for the link aggregation group.
