Abstract: An Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system design approach is provided employing a dynamic form that evolves automatically as the user enters content, in order to provide visual guidance relative to possible subsequent steps in the IVR system. The dynamic form follows a tree-view structure for the responses. The IVR content may be entered directly into the tree-view structure in an ad hoc manner, which provides a streamlined experience to the user compared to segmented building blocks.

Abstract: An emission management system (200) for a vessel (100) adapted to travel on water. The emission management system includes a monitoring assembly (202) for monitoring an emission from the vessel. The monitoring assembly is adapted to automatically detect the emission from the vessel and generate a data set representative of a vessel location at a time the emission occurred. The emission management system also includes a data storage system (210) in communication with the monitoring assembly for recording the data set generated by the monitoring assembly.

Abstract: A length and angle gauge including first and second longitudinally aligned and slidably engaging ruler sections; means for releasably securing the sections; each section having an inner end and an outer end, one of the sections bearing a length scale starting at the outer end and ascending toward the inner end, the other section bearing a continuation of the length scale with the scale value for the minimum retracted length of the gauge starting at the outer end and ascending toward the inner end; a rotatable arm located at the outer end of each section and having a slanted surface; means for rotatably mounting the arm to the outer end; means for releasably securing the arm to the outer end; and retraction means for enabling the arm to be withdrawn within the outer end.
