Abstract: Improved techniques utilize a cross-referencing database which correlates terms which describe product information across multiple taxonomies. The cross-referencing database is independent of the taxonomies used to organize the product information in different departments and is thus able to correlate terms across multiple taxonomies. As a consequence, a user looking at product information in one taxonomy (e.g., a marketing department) can locate precisely where that product information resides in another taxonomy (e.g., the support department) despite the fact that the two taxonomies may refer to that same product using different terms and likely places those terms in different places.

Abstract: A dive vest that includes a torso-engaging member with a waistband, an air bladder contained throughout the torso-engaging member, beaded weight pads quickly releasable from the waistband, a scuba tank carrier plate attached to the torso-engaging member, a first stage regulator with an extended, flexible base that is permanently attached within the dive vest, an on demand/oral inflation assembly extending upwardly from the torso-engaging member, a second stage regulator assembly fluidly communicating with the first stage regulator, and an octopus second stage regulator assembly fluidly communicating with the first stage regulator and being retractable into, and extendable from, the torso-engaging member, and when retracted, is hidden in the torso-engaging member, and as a result thereof, is protected from wear and tear from, and snagging on, objects on both land and underwater and provides less resistance during a dive.
