Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for social enterprise portfolio management. A database system can use subscription information for project portfolio records to enable system users to subscribe to receive timely updates of these records, in contrast to the system users waiting for periodic project reports when projects meet various milestones. The database system can provide updates about any modifications of specified portfolio records to subscribed system users via feeds to display devices, enabling these system users to respond promptly to these updates. For example, subscribed system users can request and receive updates for portfolio records for viewing in one location, which enables subscribed system users to prioritize responses to updates. A system user can select to subscribe to updates of portfolio records, thereby relieving some of a project manager's responsibility for providing every subscription detail for the project manager's project.

Abstract:

Spurious electrodynamic effects are reduced or eliminated by the use of a mechanically compact, low capacitance, geometrically symmetric, differentially-driven blanker assembly. This eliminates the need for internal cables or SMA-type launchers and has a solid metal electromechanical contact to system ground.
