Abstract: A single-unit restraining system for exercising control over a subject is provided. The restraining system comprises an attachment element adapted to be removably attached around a subject and encasing a retraction mechanism configured to extend and retract a tether element. The retraction mechanism comprises a multi-spool configuration which allows spooling or coiling of the tether element into the attachment element without requiring the tether element to complete 360-degree revolutions around a vertical axis. Tension forces associated with spooling the tether element are reduced and potential harm to the subject is reduced. The restraining system is configured to detach from the subject upon detecting tension forces exceeding a threshold amount.

Abstract: A system for visualizing financial data of an organization comprises a database for storing and processing the financial data, a dynamic rules based engine, a graphical interface for depicting the financial data as instruments that are part of an instrument panel within a vehicle, such as an airplane, and a software program residing on the database. The software program comprises machine readable or interpretable instructions for converting the financial data into graphics representing the instrument panel. The database preferably has links established with financial and/or measurement formulas, wherein each financial formula is linked with one or more instruments on the instrument panel. The database also has links established with the financial data such that as new financial data is entered into the database, the instruments automatically change to reflect the new data, thereby altering a path of the vehicle.
