Abstract: The present disclosure provides a new and innovative system, methods, and apparatuses for group travel resource contracting. The system, methods, and apparatuses provide an online framework that enables tour operators to quickly determine which travel resources have availably based on their specified criteria, including criteria that relates to a number of people in a tour group. The system, methods, and apparatuses also provide for the automatic generation of a contract based on specified contract term parameters, selected dates, and corresponding pricing for a selected travel resource. Together, the case of viewing travel resource availability and the automatic contract generation reduces the manual time spent by group travel agencies from days or weeks to only a few minutes to reserve group travel.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a fraudulent activity shell. According to one embodiment, a system includes an application having a normal environment and a shell environment. The system also includes a trigger logic that determines whether an action satisfies a trigger condition. In response to determining that the action satisfies the trigger condition, the trigger logic triggers the application to enter a fraudulent activity mode from a default mode. In the fraudulent activity mode, the normal environment is configured to hold the action. The shell environment is configured to display the action as executed in the fraudulent activity mode.

Abstract: Value-added services that allow for a seamless integration of actions related to activities and/or events are provided. A determination is made that an event has started based on scheduled event data or historical information associated with a user. Profile data associated with the user is identified based on the start of the first event. The identity of the user is verified based on a mapping between the profile data and data related to the first event. Further, an activity related to a second event is triggered after completion of a transaction of the first event is completed. A suggested action may be activated based on the trigger event. The suggested action is based on historical information associated with the user and is not a component of the first event or the second event.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to power supplies and interchangeable modules coupled with power supplies used to control a load. In operation, a switch assembly includes two components: a power supply module and a removable module, which function to convert AC to DC to provide input modularity and enhanced control of the input and load. The power supply module comprises AC circuitry configured to convert an AC signal to DC. The power supply module also comprises an interface coupled with the removable module and logic circuitry configured to control an aspect of a load based on an indication from input devices of the removable module. The removable module comprises a communication interface configured to provide the indication from the input devices to the logic circuit via the interface. Also, the removable module comprises DC circuitry to provide power to the removable module.

Abstract: Ammunition containers are reloadable from within an armored vehicle to supply a remote weapon system mounted externally on the vehicle. The ammunition containers are designed to be fixedly mounted within an internal compartment of a weapon turret. In a first embodiment, at least one guide wall defines a spiral guide path for an ammunition belt, and a rotatable sprocket enables the belt to be loaded into the guide path. In a second embodiment, an ammunition clamp holds a round of ammunition, and the clamp is rotatable to wind the ammunition belt about the clamp's axis of rotation. A third embodiment has a guide sprocket and an adjacent peg to facilitate reloading an ammunition belt in horizontal layers. A fourth embodiment includes a pair of spaced support rails for hanging an ammunition belt in vertical columns, wherein rear ends of the rails may be located outside the container for easier loading.
