Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing data objects stored in a data repository and displaying elements associated with data objects on a graphical user interface is presented. The method includes using reusable logic to provide at least one displayed input element associated with a first data object stored in the data repository. In response to user input associated with the displayed input element, the method includes generating a second data object stored in the data repository, and linking the second data object with one or more related data objects in the data repository automatically based on the data object associated with the displayed element.

Abstract: Managing changes to a collection of records includes storing a first set of records in a data storage system, the first set of records representing a first version of the collection of records, and validating a proposed change to the collection of records specified by an input received over a user interface. The data storage system is queried based on validation criteria associated with the proposed change, and a first result is received in response to the querying. A second set of records is processed representing changes not yet applied to the collection of records to generate a second result. The first result is updated based on the second result to generate a third result. The third result is processed to determine whether the proposed change is valid according to the validation criteria.

Abstract: A survival vest may include a vest body. The vest body may include a bladder containing pouch extending through left front, left shoulder, scapular, right shoulder and right front sections. That pouch may include a bladder release gap. A plurality of equipment attachment loops may be located on exterior faces of the vest. An inflatable bladder may be contained within the bladder containing pouch and may be configured to expand outside the bladder containing pouch through a bladder release gap upon inflation so as to push a left abdominal section of the vest body to the left and push a right abdominal section of the vest body to the right.

Abstract: A carrier for weapons and/or other tactical equipment can include a main body and an extension sleeve. The extension sleeve can be withdrawn so as to lengthen an internal storage region to, e.g., accommodate longer weapons.

Abstract: A component in a graph-based computation having data processing components connected by linking elements representing data flows is updated by receiving a rule specification, generating a transform for transforming data based on the rule specification, associating the transform with a component in the graph-based computation, and in response to determining that a new rule specification has been received or an existing rule specification has been edited, updating the transform associated with the component in the graph-based computation according to the new or edited rule specification. A computation is tested by receiving a rule specification including a set of rule cases, receiving a set of test cases, each test case containing a value for one or more of the potential inputs, and for each test case, identifying one of the rule cases that will generate an output given the input values of the test case.

Abstract: A method of automatically determining a measure of atmospheric aerosol optical properties using a multi- or hyper-spectral, multi-pixel image. A plurality of spectrally-diverse pixels are resolved from the image. A statistical spectral deviation of the spectrally-diverse pixels is determined, and then corrected for non-aerosol transmittance losses. One or more wavelength-dependent aerosol optical depths are derived from the statistical spectral deviation. Wavelength-dependent gaseous optical depths can be derived from the statistical spectral deviation.
