Abstract: Organizations, which may be charitable organizations, may plan, implement, and report to interested on the impact their projects. Users may create and modify components, which demonstrate a relationship between, for example, a donor donation, and an effect of that donation. Users can set up, modify and allowing reporting on, for example, activities sponsored by a charitable organization, inputs into that activity which may be sponsored by donors, and results of the activity. Results can be tracked over time producing a moving picture of the impact of the activity.

Abstract: The invention includes a system and method for reducing convection current effects in the optical path of a holographic interferometer system. The system preferably includes an enclosure for the optical path of the holographic interferometer system. In one embodiment, the system also includes a thermal element coupled to or located inside the enclosure. In another embodiment, the system also includes a gas located inside the enclosure, wherein the gas has a lower index of refraction than air. In another embodiment, the system also includes a fan coupled to or located inside the enclosure and adapted to circulate a gas inside the enclosure.

Abstract: The present invention includes a system and a method of determining the regularity of a surface of an object under examination. The method includes receiving a three-dimensional phase image of the surface including a plurality of pixels, wherein the phase image can result from a multiple wavelength interferometric analysis of the surface. The method can further include the steps of determining a relative height of the pixels in response to the phase image of the surface, creating a statistical map of the surface in response to the relative height of the pixels, and determining the regularity of the surface of the object under examination in response to the statistical map of the surface. The system includes an interferometric apparatus connected to a controller, wherein the controller is adapted to perform one or more functions similar to the method of the present invention.
