A system, method, and medium for deduplicating multiple status indications within a telecommunications network is provided. A spring-loaded holding pin of the instrument can be used to engage a corresponding hole on the disc and confront the angled surfaces of the disc to enable the holding and manipulation of the disc. The velocity limiter receives a compensation velocity signal from the pressure controller and a predetermined velocity signal from the velocity command generator and outputs a corresponding limiting velocity command signal to the switch. The present invention may additionally be applied in the context of handoffs when, for example, an MS continues to be partially served by the previous cell before the new cell is able to service the high data-rate information flow. The processors then execute the instructions from the program memory, and may access the system memory during execution of the instructions.
