Abstract: The invention provides a docking system for a portable device, comprising a housing assembly disposed partially within an input-output module and operable between a plurality of viewing angles, at least one retaining member for coupling the housing assembly to the input-output module, and a locking sub-system provided on the housing assembly for locking the portable device to the housing assembly.

Abstract: A system for qualifying a process in a facility. The system includes a validation system and a portable computer device. The validation system includes a storage device, a processing device, and one or more sensor input modules each connected to one or more sensors. The portable computer device includes a storage device and a processing device. The storage device of the portable computer device includes a database comprising configuration file for configuring the validation system to perform a qualification of the asset. The processing device of the portable computer device is configured to transmit the configuration file to the validation system for storage in the storage device thereof. The processing device of the validation system is configured to load the configuration file stored in the storage device thereof and to perform the qualification of the asset based on the loaded configuration file.

Abstract: A method of assembling a communication system includes providing a short message service (SMS) system. The SMS system includes at least one SMS text message transmission device coupled in communication with at least one SMS text message receiving device. The method also includes configuring the SMS system to transmit to the at least one SMS text message transmission device an SMS text message that includes an SMS character string that includes at least one character defined to represent a predetermined priority of the SMS text message. The method also includes configuring the at least one SMS text message receiving device to notify a user of the predetermined priority of the SMS text message.
