A dual mode device comprising a communications block and a satellite positioning block, each comprising respective Base Band blocks and crystals or frequency sources. A programmable logic device is used to filter the data stream to find a plurality of possible matches between the data substrings and a plurality of the query substrings, wherein the data substrings and the query substrings comprise a plurality of characters. Cracks and delaminated regions that are formed during severing are then healed. In addition, the spectroscopic measurements may be used in conjunction with correlations or other statistical models to determine one or more properties of interest of a constituent of the conduit contents. A second port may in communication with the second counter module and the packet network and be configured to communicate data packets over a second node segment of the packet network.
