Abstract: Various arrangements for permitting a wireless device occasional access to a wireless network are described. Some arrangements for assigning a single MSISDN to multiple wireless devices are described. In such arrangements, the wireless devices may be associated with different visitor location registers. In some arrangements, a wireless device-initiated bearer service is initiated based on input from a remote system. In some arrangements, a wireless device is authenticated based on whether data needs to be sent to and/or received from the wireless device.

Abstract: Tools and techniques for activating a wireless device on a wireless network and/or for providing a wireless device with occasional access to a wireless network. In an aspect, such tools can provide a wireless device with a temporary addressing number to allow the wireless device to send data to the network; this temporary addressing number, then, can be recycled to be used by another wireless device for accessing the network.

Abstract: Various arrangements for activating a wireless device on a wireless network are presented. A request to attach to the wireless network may be received from the wireless device. The request may specify an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI). An authentication message may be transmitted to a detection device of the wireless network. The IMSI may be compared to a set of stored blocked IMSIs. Each IMSI of the set of stored blocked IMSIs may be prohibited from being used to access the wireless network. It may be determined that the wireless device may that corresponds to the IMSI is permitted to be attached to the wireless network. In response to determining the wireless device is permitted to attach to the wireless network, authentication of the wireless device may occur.

Abstract: An integrated data management system, method, and computer program for querying, collecting, tracking, comparing, and displaying floating production system daily operations data, market data, and technical data to one or more users is disclosed. The data management system includes one or more processors with memory carrying one or more sequences of computer instructions for receiving floating production system data from floating production systems (FPS), receiving search criteria from the users, and comparing the floating production system data to the search criteria to determine matches between the FPS data and the search criteria. The floating production system data includes fleet and vessel data, upcoming tenders, latest project sanctions, technical specifications, status criteria, and market news.

Abstract: A computer implemented system for managing and processing mobile drilling unit supply and demand information for a user. The system comprises a web application processor, an interface for communication and a database processor for communication. The interface in communication with the web application processor has a supply query for obtaining a set of supply data and an open demand drilling requirement query for obtaining a set of open demand drilling data. The database processor can be in communication with the interface for receiving at least one of the queries wherein the at least one query operates on a dynamic information relational database in communication with the database processor. The database provides a set of data responsive to the queries. The web application processor further comprises computer instructions for translating the set of data into a viewable online report.
