In a drive system and a method for actuating a drive system having an electric motor and an electric device, which has an electronic circuit feeding the electric motor, the electric device includes a module, the electric device, e.g., the electronic circuit, being able to be connected to a processor, e.g., an actuation PC, for a data exchange, e.g., for actuating the drive system. The module is inserted into a depression, e.g., a recess, of the electric device, and the module including operable switches, e.g., DIP switches, and a memory for storing first parameters.

A board-level assembly that is useful to expand functions of a valve positioner on a valve assembly. The board-level assembly can incorporate a main circuit board and a peripheral “smart” circuit board. The main circuit board may be configured to communicate with the smart circuit board, find a storage memory on the second circuit board, retrieve data from the storage memory, and use the data to configure functions on the first circuit board. In one implementation, the smart circuit board can release and engage the main circuit board. This configuration can allow different configurations of the smart circuit board to swap into the board-level assembly, each of the different configurations providing data the main circuit board can exploit to change the functions of the valve positioner.

Isolating distinct service provider widgets within a wallet container is accomplished by configuring a widget to provide access to an issuer-specific service group of services that are accessible in a service tier of a multi-tier platform for providing secure transactions, determining widget isolation requirements for operating the widget, configuring a widget descriptor with the isolation requirements, and communicating with the configured widget that has been deployed on a mobile device to provide at least one service from the issuer-specific service group.

Selecting ecosystem features for inclusion in operational tiers includes taking a reference implementation of a specific application adapted to operate in a multi-domain computing ecosystem and, using a computer, breaking down the reference implementation into service related components, determining ecosystem participants for the reference implementation, and using a feature allocation engine to configure operational features that enable one of the service related components.

Deploying an issuer-specific widget to a wallet container on a client device is accomplished by configuring a widget to provide access to an issuer-specific service group of services that are accessible in a service tier of a multi-tier platform for providing secure transactions, determining service-provider specific resource access requirements for operating the widget, configuring a widget descriptor with the access requirements, and communicating with wallet container to ensure successful deployment of the configured widget that meets the access requirements in the widget descriptor.

An electronic device is configured to check soundness of the electronic device on the basis of device specific information of the electronic device. The electronic device includes a module configured to automatically set and input at least one of the device specific information upon factory shipment of the electronic device and the device specific information upon mounting of the electronic device, into the electronic device.
