Abstract: User identities can managed at an organization level, instead of across multiple individual resource accounts. In a resource provider environment, access to various resources and services may require users to have identities with specific resource accounts. Users can instead be associated with organization accounts, or virtual accounts that are not associated with specific resources or services. The organization accounts are attached at the appropriate location(s) in an organizational hierarchy. A user having an organization account can project the identity in any sub-account in the organization hierarchy. This can include any lower-level resource account, or can child accounts under a relevant branch of the hierarchy. A user can validate against the organization account, and receive access to the relevant service or resources using the identity projected in the corresponding resource account.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for radio proximity detection are disclosed. In one example, a method for determining a proximity of a mobile radio includes determining an initial range of a mobile radio in relation to a base radio, and processing the initial range determination to determine whether to make a refined range determination utilizing signal measurements from both a base radio first antenna and a base radio second antenna.

Abstract: A system for bringing a portable telecommunications device into compliance with local telecommunications requirements is described. Systems on the portable telecommunication device scan the local environment to determine if the operating characteristics of the portable telecommunication device are like those in the vicinity of the device or are different from those in the device's vicinity. If the communications characteristics of the portable telecommunication device are different from those in its immediate vicinity, then the portable telecommunications device undertakes one or more remedial actions to bring its operations into compliance with local telecommunications requirements.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for multiple RF band operation in mobile devices are disclosed. In one example, a method for dual radio frequency band operation includes operating a mobile communication device in a first radio frequency band, monitoring a RSSI associated with the mobile communication device, and switching operation of the mobile communication device to operation in a second radio frequency band responsive to the RSSI crossing a threshold RSSI value.

Abstract: In one example, a method and system for selecting a channel for use with a mobile communication device is described. A shared frequency band shared between a first wireless communications protocol and a second wireless communications protocol is scanned to identify an active second wireless communications protocol channel. One or more first wireless communications protocol channels corresponding to the active second wireless communications protocol channel are removed from a list of selectable channels. A first wireless communications protocol channel is selected from the list of selectable channels.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for optimized channel selection are disclosed. In one example, a channel quality is measured of each channel of an available number of channels on which a mobile communication device can transmit and receive. A subset of the available number of channels is allocated to a long range channel class responsive to the channel quality. An RSSI of the mobile communication device is monitored and correlated to a mobile communication device proximity to a base station. A channel is selected from the long range channel class if the mobile communication device proximity is greater than a predetermined proximity.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to upgrade and control information presented to process plant operators are disclosed. A disclosed example method to control information presented to a process plant operator comprises presenting a first version of a process plant display, presenting a dynamic attention user interface when a selectable element of the first version of the process plant operator display is activated, wherein the dynamic attention user interface is to be used to adjust an importance of information presented in the first version of the process plant display, and presenting a second version of the process plant display based on a variable adjusted via the dynamic attention user interface.

Abstract: In one example, a method and system for selecting a channel for use with a mobile communication device is described. A first wireless communications protocol network parameter associated with a first wireless communications protocol is monitored. A second wireless communications protocol operating channel is selected utilizing the monitored parameter data associated with the first wireless communications network.
