Abstract: For a location-based broadcast messaging service, a broadcast server receives a broadcast request from a business application server. The broadcast request includes a message, at least one identifier for target mobile devices, and an identifier for a location. The broadcast server sends a location query including the identifier for the location to location agents associated with the target mobile devices. In response to receiving the location query, each location agent determines whether the location of the associated mobile device is within or otherwise satisfies a requirement related to the identified location. If the location of the device is within the identified location or satisfies the requirement, the location agent sends a query response to the broadcast server and receives, from the broadcast server, the message included in the broadcast request. The broadcast request can include a time-period identifier, such that the location agent determines the device location during the time-period.

Abstract: A hand fed gravure press primarily for use in making multicolor proofs. A carriage assembly for moving relative to the press bed and comprising an impression cylinder for holding the paper, an ink distribution system for consistently applying a selectable quantity of ink at a predetermined location, a doctor blade spaced a distance from the ink system for spreading the ink across a printing plate and a cleaning unit for removing excess or dried ink from the plate after printing is completed. A control system for regulating the movement of the carriage assembly and the operation of the ink distribution system, the doctor blade and the cleaning unit.
