Abstract: A system and method links one or more disparate community awareness management (CAM) datasets for a community awareness program (CAP) with one or more spatial layers to create linked CAM datasets. One or more data attributes common to a CAM dataset and a spatial layer are identified, and the link is defined between the CAM dataset and the spatial layer. The spatial layer and the linked CAM dataset then may be queried using a single input query. Features from the spatial layer and features from the linked CAM dataset that match the query are generated for display. In one embodiment, a system and method manage CAP assets, transactions, interest areas for the CAP, and buffer areas for the CAP. An audience utility enables entering and maintaining audience data for the CAP. A journal utility enables making journal entries for one or more audience members, CAP assets, transactions, and/or other CAM data. A link document utility enables linking one or more documents to CAM data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for switching to different states of electronic content being developed in a content creation application. This involves storing different states of the electronic content using a content-addressable data store, where individual states are represented by identifiers that identify items of respective states stored in the content-addressable data store. Identical items that are included in multiple states are stored once in the content-addressable data store and referenced by common identifiers. Input is received to change the electronic content to a selected state of the different states and the electronic content is displayed in the selected state based on identifiers for the selected state. In this way, undo, redo, and other commands to switch to different states of electronic content being developed are provided.

Abstract: A system. The system includes a first beam path configured to transmit a first light beam having a first optical wavelength and a second beam path configured to transmit a second light beam having a second optical wavelength distinct from the first optical wavelength. A first beam splitter disposed at an intersection of the first beam path and the second beam path. The first beam splitter is configured to superimpose the first and second light beams to form a third light beam, the third light beam impinging on a first window of a sample cell. The sample cell defines an interior volume and is configured to transfer the third light beam from the first window to a second window along a light path within the interior volume. The light path comprises a plurality of segments. The third light beam undergoes at least one reflection at an end of each segment, wherein the light path passes through a gas sample disposed within the interior volume.

Abstract: An interlayer comprising a first polymer layer, a polarization rotary optical film and optionally a second polymer layer, and multiple layer panels formed from such interlayers. The panels may exhibit desirable optical properties, including, for example, less image “ghosting,” when used as part of a heads-up-display (HUD) display panel for use in automotive and aircraft applications.

Abstract: An expandable carry pouch defining an interior compartment sized and dimensioned to carry tactical gear, the interior compartment defined by a front wall with forward and bottom panel segments, a back wall opposed to the front wall with forward and bottom panel segments, and bottom panel. The front and back walls have a plurality of vertical and horizontal channels such that a binding device is woven through the vertical and horizontal channels to compress the front and back wall towards one another.

Abstract: A clip for securing articles to a belt with a semi-flexible central tear drop shaped bend portion having opposite spaced apart ends; a first leg and a second leg comprised of a rigid or semi-rigid material and connected to the opposite spaced apart ends of the central portion and extending in a generally parallel relationship therefrom; and a locking collar member;

Abstract: Provided are a computer implemented method, computer program product, and system for providing notifications. A ticket that specifies at least one activity to be performed, a location at which the activity is to be performed, and a period of time in which that activity is to occur is received. A message to be delivered is identified based on the activity, the location, and the period of time, wherein the message describes one or more measures to be taken based on the activity. The identified message describing the one or more measures is delivered to enable at least one of the measures to be taken before the activity occurs in the period of time specified in the ticket.
