The present embodiments relate generally to methods for providing viewing access to an ultrasound image feed generated at an ultrasound imaging machine. A multi-use display device may form a first link-layer connection with the ultrasound image machine for transmitting commands that control imaging parameters of the ultrasound image feed. The multi-use display device may then: determine link-layer connection parameters that allow the ultrasound imaging machine to form a second link-layer connection with a receiving device (the receiving device having no link-layer connection with the ultrasound imaging machine), and provide the connection parameters to the receiving device. The ultrasound imaging machine forms a second link-layer connection with the receiving device, based the connection parameters. The second link-layer connection is then used for receiving, at the receiving device, the ultrasound image feed controlled by the multi-use display device.

The present disclosure describes monitoring systems and methods for data collection in an industrial environment. A system can include a data collector and a data acquisition circuit to interpret a plurality of detection values corresponding to input channels, wherein the data acquisition circuit acquires sensor data from a first route of input channels. A data storage stores sensor specifications for sensors and a data analysis circuit evaluates the sensor data with respect to the stored anticipated state information including an alarm threshold level.

A response circuit changes the routing of the input channels to an alternate routing upon reception of a routing change indication from the routing control facility.

A method for providing extended control of media displayed on individual and groups of digital signs for use in near realtime scenarios by leveraging the short message service (SMS) as a transport mechanism to enable immediate temporary or permanent changes to displayed media shown on digital signage. Each SMS message utilizes command codes and variable arguments to query for information to be returned or indicate actions to be performed, providing a subset of the data and control mechanisms exposed by the digital signage management service. SMS endpoints are authenticated against a whitelist also containing a list of valid digital signage management groups with associated message routing information. Data requests require no additional validation, while action requests include a secondary verification as a protection against caller ID spoofing.
