Abstract: An apparatus for assisting with measurement of a fluid pressure includes a cover layer having a leading cover edge and upper and lower cover surfaces. A cover aperture fluidly connects the upper and lower cover surfaces. A spacer layer has oppositely facing upper and lower spacer surfaces. A cavity has an upper cavity surface, defined by the lower cover surface, which includes the leading cover edge and the cover aperture. A measuring tube is located adjacent to the upper cover surface. The measuring tube includes a tube lumen. When the lower spacer surface is connected to the substrate, the substrate defines a lower cavity surface and extant fluid is present within the cavity. Variable fluid flowing toward the cavity exerts pressure on the extant fluid to generate an extant fluid pressure level which is physically transmitted through the apparatus and made available for measurement as an extant fluid pressure level.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for automatically completing a call includes receiving a text message containing a telephone number of a target party, extracting the telephone number from the text message, and providing the telephone number to a telephone switching control.

Abstract: Networks, methods, and devices are provided for SLP instance connection. One method embodiment includes managing SLP instances in a multi-SLEE. The method includes instantiating a first SLP to handle a session with a network based application. A second SLP is instantiated to handle an intelligent peripheral (IP) for use with the network based application. The method includes establishing a connection between the second SLP and the first SLP.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for tracing a program such as a service logic program (SLP). One method embodiment includes accessing a conditional associated with a trace category and testing the conditional before making a tracing system call.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for program output routine management. One method embodiment provides for output routine management in a program. The method includes associating a first identifier with a first type of program output routine and associating a second identifier with a second type of program output routine. The method includes removing the first type of program output routine from the program before the program is deployed in a run time environment.

Abstract: Networks, methods, and devices are provided for handling a session in a telecommunications network. One method embodiment includes receiving a service request to a network device. The service request is associated with a service application. The method includes identifying a protocol type to handle the session based on a database look up. The method includes instantiating a program on the network device appropriate to the protocol type based on identifying the protocol type.

Abstract: Programs, methods and devices are provided for detecting object corruption in a program. One embodiment includes a computing device having a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory includes a program having an embedded detection object associated with a class definition in the program. The detection object contains a predefined data string that can be tested when an object is destroyed.

Abstract: Networks, methods, and devices are provided for handling transaction capabilities application part (TCAP) messages. One device embodiment includes a computing device in a communication network having program instructions storable in a memory and executable by a processor. The program instructions receive a protocol identifier from within a transaction capabilities application part (TCAP) message to identify a particular protocol in which to route the TCAP message. In this embodiment, the instructions also route the TCAP message to the particular protocol.

Abstract: Networks, methods, and devices are provided for handling service logic program (SLP) instances. One method embodiment includes managing SLP instances in a multiple service logic execution environment (multi-SLEE). The method includes, for each SLEE in the multi-SLEE, saving SLEE instance information to a memory in association with creating an SLP instance to invoke a specialized resource function (SRF). The method further includes, upon a SLEE receiving a message from a SRF dialog, performing a look up of SLEE instance information using a dispatcher on the SLEE.
