Abstract: A document management system sends a distinct copy of a set of documents to each of a plurality of recipients in a bulk sending process. Each copy is associated with one or more actions to be taken by a corresponding recipient. The document management system generates an interface that displays, for each copy of the set of documents, the recipient of the copy and a status of the copy. The document management system receives an identification of a subset of the copies of the set of documents. The document management system performs a bulk action on each of the subset of the copies without performing the bulk action on any remaining copies of the set of documents.

Abstract: A document management system sends a distinct copy of a set of documents to each of a plurality of recipients in a bulk sending process, producing a batch of document sets. The document management system can facilitate the performance of a bulk action on the batch of document sets by a sending entity. Examples include a bulk corrective action, a bulk void action, a bulk re-send action, and a bulk download action. In addition, the document management system can identify document sets sent separately that are likely parts of a batch of document sets using one or more similarity criteria. The document management system can recommend that a sending entity combine the identified document sets into a batch of document sets, enabling the sending entity to perform bulk actions on the document sets.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods to reduce incidents of theft of multifunction displays (MFDs). The present disclosure includes disclosure of a cover for a MFD, comprising a panel configured to cover a MFD, and attachment means for securing the panel to the MFD, wherein when the panel is used to cover a MFD, removal of the panel from the MFD causes a signal to be transmitted from the panel to a receiver, the receiver configured to directly or indirectly alert a user that the panel has been removed from the MFD.

Abstract: A process for storing large amounts of energy underground in existing or artificial aquifers at very large scale using deep-water, high-pressure electrolysis. The process is intended for use as large scale storage for electrical power grids. When implemented at depths greater than roughly 500 m, it provides stored energy density equal to or greater than lead-acid batteries while requiring only a pressure vessel. If the geologic structure is appropriate, the vessel may already exist naturally. Because this process does not require compression of the gas(es), when the gas(es) is expanded it become quite cold and therefore extracts heat from the atmosphere. When combined with a sustainable energy source such as wind, solar, ocean or other similar source—the entire process is endothermic. The cold gas(es) can also be used to precipitate CO2 and condense CH4 directly from the atmosphere.
