Abstract: A method measuring work production in forest operations is disclosed. The method utilizes Tracking trail and Reach of equipment with Work Quantification Information from remote sensing to measure work production. Using the method the organizations or persons involved in forest work can follow the production done and the related productivity.

Abstract: A method for designating vegetation as potential impact vegetation includes identifying data relating to target vegetation from a dataset and determining a reach distance of the target vegetation. The reach distance includes a distance from a point on a ground to a point of the target vegetation that is farthest from the point on the ground. The method also includes comparing the reach distance of the target vegetation with a closest distance between the point on the ground and a structure to produce a compared reach distance value and determining a health indicator value for the target vegetation. The method further includes comparing the health indicator value of the target vegetation to a health indicator threshold value and designating the target vegetation as having a potential to impact the structure based on the compared reach distance value and the comparison of the health indicator to the health indicator threshold.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of joining an exclusive network communications group of data communications device users. A network location usable for requesting admission to the network communications group is advertised. A request message is sent from an invitee's communication device to the network location to request joining the network communications group. The invitee's communication device receives an acceptance message from at least one member of the group in response to the request message. The invitee's communication device receives a group application capable of executing via the invitee's communication device in response to the acceptance message. The network communications group is joined via the group application executing on the invitee's communication device.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically installing an application and related information on a receiving terminal. When a transmitting terminal attempts to transmit information to a receiving terminal that does not possess an application required for receiving the information, the transmitting terminal provides the receiving terminal with information as to where the application can be found. The receiving terminal is then able to automatically obtain the application and related information from this location for subsequent installation.

Abstract: A system for providing location dependent services to a plurality of mobile terminals within a coverage area. The system defines services deployment areas in which the services are available. A server receives, from a plurality of sources, location information indicating the locations of mobile terminals and tracks them so that their presence in particular service deployment areas can be determined. The services receive meta-information classifying the location information and use this meta-information to determine whether the source of the location information is reliable enough for the service to be provided. If it is reliable enough, the service is provided to the mobile terminal.
