Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and computer-readable media are disclosed for processing call-for-service data to facilitate queries and reports to enhance usefulness of call-for-service data. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method performable by a computer system includes receiving at a computer system data for a plurality of calls-for-service. Individual data for an individual call-for-service includes one or more fields storing information relating to the call-for-service. Based on the information stored within the one or more fields of the individual data, one or more supplemental classifiers are automatically identified. The one or more supplemental classifiers are associated with the individual data. The one or more supplemental classifiers associated with the individual data enable the individual call-for-service to be identified when the one or more supplemental classifiers match one or more specified criteria.

Abstract: Systems and methods for extending a visualization platform are disclosed. A user may create a visualization project created. One or more properties for a non-native widget established by a developer of the non-native widget may be received from the project. Such properties may designate a name or a type of data that the non-native widget is capable of processing. Responsive to an instruction received from the user of the visualization authoring environment, a source of data to be processed by the non-native widget or a destination of data produced by the non-native widget to be processed by other widgets may be established. The appearance or behavior of the non-native widget may be rendered based at least in part on a value available from the source of the data or the appearance or behavior of one or more other widgets may be rendered based at least in part on data produced by the non-native widget.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a hockey stick for training a person in stick handling, including an elongate upper stick portion configured to be gripped by a control hand of the person, an elongate lower stick portion rigidly coupled to the upper stick portion and configured to rotate therewith, and an elongate middle stick portion positioned between and collinear with the upper stick portion and the lower stick portion and configured to be gripped by a directional hand of the person. The middle stick portion is rotatably coupled to the elongate coupling member so that rotation of the upper stick portion causes the lower stick portion and the blade member to rotate without rotating the middle stick portion gripped by the directional hand. The hockey stick may include at least one locking mechanism coupled to the middle stick portion and at least one of the upper and lower stick portions.

Abstract: A system and methods are provided for operating and building graphically XML processing programs, guiding the user in development of the program, preventing and detecting development errors as the program is being designed, ensuring that the program is valid, i.e. satisfies required input and output constraints at all times, i.e. from the time it is developed to when it is deployed in a production environment, ensuring the automated change management if the internal logic of the Web service, or data sources called by the service or the schema that underlies the Web service are modified.
