Abstract:

A computer-implemented system for changing the travel reservation of a passenger based on the detection of a modification event. The system employs a travel monitoring software module that can be used to monitor passengers and anticipate needed changes in reservations. Once a passenger's reservation is rebooked, a local computer system and a local gate information display system can be used to display the updated travel reservation and permit boarding under the new reservation. Passengers can also use scan-print devices to quickly receive a new copy of their travel itinerary reflecting the rebooking. The entire system facilitates the movement of passengers through terminals to their respective departure points. The system also reduces the number of personnel needed to manage irregular travel operations.

Abstract:

Implementations of a spherical ornament are provided. In some implementations, the spherical ornament may include a plurality of light reflecting assemblies that are configured to reflect visible light and thereby create a visual phenomenon. In some implementations, the spherical ornament may be used in conjunction with one or more external light sources to create a reflected light display. In some implementations, the spherical ornament may comprise a body portion having a plurality of light reflecting assemblies mounted thereon. In some implementations, each light reflecting assembly may comprise a light reflecting element that is held by a setting. In some implementations, the setting may include a post that is configured to be inserted into the body portion of the spherical ornament and thereby mount the light reflecting assembly thereon.
