A computer-implemented method includes: connecting, by a network device, with a user device via an alternate communications network; and providing, by the network device to the user device and via the alternate communications network, network credentials used for wireless access to a primary communications network, wherein the primary communications network and the alternate communications network are different.

A method includes running a system mainline initialization process on a compute node that includes an expansion card with read-only memory storing expansion card initialization code. The method obtains and executes the expansion card initialization code from the read-only memory to perform initialization of the expansion card. The method further includes updating a current operational progress state of the expansion card initialization stored in non-volatile memory of the node as the expansion card initialization moves through a plurality of operational progress states, detecting a fault, such as a hung condition, during the expansion card initialization in response to exceeding a predetermined time period in the current operational progress state, and storing a fault indication in the non-volatile memory, wherein the fault indication identifies the card experiencing the fault. Optionally, the method may reset the node and bypass initializing the card associated with the fault indication.

A first ultrasound dataset that represents an object in a first coordinate system can be acquired at a first time. Three landmarks of the object can be located in the first ultrasound dataset to define a second coordinate system. A first transform from the first to the second coordinate system can be determined for the first ultrasound dataset. A second ultrasound dataset that represents the object in the first coordinate system can be acquired at a second time. The same three landmarks in the second ultrasound dataset can be located to define a third coordinate system. A second transform from the first to the third coordinate systems can be determined for the second ultrasound dataset.

A volumetric ultrasound system is used to determine the velocity of tissue using 3D echo data. In particular, the velocity of tissue in a 3D volume is determined by steering ultrasound beams to the tissue in the 3D volume and forming 3D echo data from receive ultrasound beams formed from reflections of the steered ultrasound beams from the tissue in the 3D volume. The velocity of the tissue associated with the 3D echo data can be determined using velocity determination techniques. The velocity of the tissue can be displayed in real-time. For example, in one embodiment, a sub-volume of the 3D volume can be scanned and the determined velocity of the tissue displayed in about 50 milliseconds (ms).
