Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for optical code-delay reflectometry (OCoDR) are disclosed. An apparatus includes a modulator, a receiver, and control circuitry. The modulator is configured to receive incident electromagnetic (EM) radiation at a substantially fixed frequency generated by one or more EM radiation sources. The incident EM radiation includes continuous-wave EM radiation. The modulator is configured to impart a sequence onto an amplitude, a phase, or both of the incident EM radiation to generate modulated EM radiation. The modulated EM radiation includes continuous-wave EM radiation. The receiver is configured to receive reference EM radiation. The receiver is also configured to receive reflected EM radiation from an optical system responsive to the modulated EM radiation and generate interfered EM radiation responsive to the reference EM radiation and the reflected EM radiation. The receiver is further configured to generate a continuous interferogram responsive to the interfered EM radiation.

Abstract: Computing and communication systems and methods include one or more servers communicatively coupled with a computing device through a telecommunications network. In implementations one or more data stores are communicatively coupled with the server(s). One or more user interfaces displayed on the computing device display a website provided by the server(s) and accessed using a browser. A file selector is displayed on the website. The file selector corresponds with a file that may already reside on the computing device and/or on a file share accessible by the computing device. The file selector is configured to initiate opening of the file locally on the computing device without necessarily downloading a copy of the file through the browser. The systems and methods may automatically initiate calls and/or texts on non-cell phones (e.g., desk phones, turret type phones and/or VOIP phones) in response to selection of a phone number displayed on a website.

Abstract: The invention provides a unique thermoset viscoelastomeric reaction product and a container combination comprised of the supportive base equipped with a thermoset viscoelastomer reaction product possessing unexpectedly superior adhesive and cohesive efficacy rendering it especially useful as an adhesive insert in a container combination. The thermoset insert bonds to any suitable supportive structure. The unique viscoelastomeric reaction product inserts adhesively immobilize items placed thereupon and adhesively or permanently bonds to most conventional containers. The tenacious cohesive and adhesive features of the insert allows for inverted stowage of stowed items. Due to the confining adhesive and cohesive attributes of the insert, structural supports of a flexible or solid base without a conventional confining structure provide a unique container combination for the stowed items.
