Abstract: A collaborative planning system facilitates sharing of critical plans (e.g., a military mission plan) within an organization and managing authorizations of the plans from reviewers at multiple levels within the organization. Once the plans are approved, a data object representative of the plans is created and stored in an ontology of data objects (with objects of various types and associations between related data objects) so that the plans may be identified as associated with related data objects via searches of the data objects in the ontology.

Abstract: A high strength and biodegradable polymer film comprising a blend of a polylactic acid (PLA) copolymer, a flexible polymer linker, and optionally a compostable polyester segment is disclosed. Upon biaxially stretching, the disclosed polymer film exhibits unexpectedly high tensile strengths and high impact strengths while providing high flexibility as measured according to various standards such as ASTM D882, D3420, and D1709. The disclosed films are formulated to meet common industrial composting standards as defined by ASTM D6400, EN 13432, and ISO 17088, as well as exhibit accelerated biodegradation rates at lower temperatures for home composting applications.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that display various geographic maps and depth graphs in an interactive user interface in substantially real-time in response to input from a user in order to determine information related to measured data points, depth levels, and geological layers and provide the determined information to the user in the interactive user interface. For example, a computing device may be configured to retrieve data from one or more databases and generate one or more interactive user interfaces. The one or more interactive user interfaces may display the retrieved data in a geographic map, a heat map, a cross-plot graph, or one or more depth graphs. The user interface may be interactive in that a user may manipulate any of the graphs to identify trends or current or future issues.

Abstract: A wing pallet with product self-centering feature having a top surface with a lower middle portion is provided. The pallet includes an upper portion having an upper surface that is slightly bowed downwardly in the middle portion and a lower portion that supports the upper portion. The upper surface can be slightly concave or have planar portions that are inclined downward from the outer sides or edges. The contour of the upper surface cause the trays stacked on the upper surface to lean toward the middle of the pallet. Two sets of stacked trays will lean toward each and have no gap formed at the top of the stacks.

Abstract: Techniques for integrating the access to a virtual desktop with a local device's operating system (OS) are disclosed. Providing this integration enables a streamlined, highly convenient process for accessing the virtual desktop via the local device, thereby providing a “login-to-cloud” mode. The system displays a login screen, which is native to the system's OS. User credentials for the virtual desktop are received at the login screen. These credentials are used to identify the user and user's corresponding virtual desktop. A stream of an image of the virtual desktop is then received and displayed. Therefore, despite the virtual desktop residing in the cloud environment, the virtual desktop can still be directly accessed via the native login screen of the local device.

Abstract: A drum assembly includes a support bar, expandable spokes extending away from the support bar, drum segments mounted to the expandable spokes, support brackets disposed on the support bar, a primary mechanical actuator extending between the support brackets, and secondary mechanical actuators extending from the support brackets.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided in order to avoid ingesting the entire contents of one or more data sources. An object may be associated with one or more pieces/fragments of data that can be stored in different data sources. When a request for the object is initiated, a search for those pieces/fragments of data can be performed. Nodes associated with each data source may generate data queries appropriate for its corresponding data source, retrieve, and if needed transform the data into an object-based data structure. Any pieces/fragments of data that have been discovered and retrieved can be joined, e.g., by an application programming interface server, and forwarded to a requesting client or application. In this way, only data relevant to the object is obtained. Moreover, object versioning can be employed so that the most up-to-date data is obtained.

Abstract: A system may determine one or more data sources which the system is configured to access. The system may provide a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) for interacting with data stored in one or more data sources. The APIs may be accessible to one or more web applications which the system is configured to serve. The system may determine that a web application has requested an operation for interacting with the data through one or more APIs in the set of APIs. The system may determine one or more responses based at least in part on the operation requested by the web application. The system may provide the response(s) to the web application.

Abstract: In patient cohort identification, clustering (30) of patients is performed using a patient comparison metric dependent on a set of features (24). Information is displayed on sample patients who are similar or dissimilar to a query patient according to the clustering. User inputted comparison values are received comparing the sample patients with the query patient. The set of features and/or feature weights are adjusted to generate an adjusted patient comparison metric having improved agreement with the user inputted comparison values. The clustering is repeated using the adjusted patient comparison metric. A patient cohort is identified from a cluster (34) containing the query patient produced by the last clustering repetition. The information on the sample patients may be shown by simultaneously displaying two or more graphical modality representations (70, 72, 74) each plotting the sample patients and the query patient against two or more features of the modality.

Abstract: A desktop switcher provides equally convenient user interface navigational access to remote virtual desktops as to local virtual desktops for reliable and convenient human-computer interaction. Underlying mechanisms transparently confirm remote computer availability and compatibility, transfer thumbnails between computers, and support remoting sessions. Virtual desktops may share a clipboard, a geographic location setting, and application thumbnails, despite being based on computers that are remote from one another, e.g., when only one of a session's computers resides in a cloud. Virtual desktop context menus may be shown and utilized remotely. A visual separator in the desktop switcher may distinguish local virtual desktops from remote virtual desktops.
