  • Patent number: 10601753
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation comprising identifying, in a first thread comprising a plurality of messages outputted for display on a display device, a first concept in a text of a first message of the plurality of messages, identifying a second concept in a text of a second message of the plurality of messages of the first thread, upon determining that the second concept is different than the first concept, generating a second thread comprising a subset of the plurality of messages, wherein each message in the subset of the plurality of message is related to the second concept, and outputting, based on a set of user preferences, the subset of the plurality of messages of the second thread for display on the display device.

  • Patent number: 10405807
    Abstract: Contactless blood pressure monitoring, includes: illuminating a blood vessel of a patient with infrared (‘IR’) light; receiving, by an IR camera through a polarizing filter, IR light reflected by the patient; capturing at a time based on a heartrate of the patient, a first IR image of the blood vessel of the patient when the blood vessel is distended; determining, from the first image, a maximum diameter of the blood vessel; capturing at a time based on the heartrate of the patient, a second IR image of the blood vessel of the patient when the blood vessel is contracted; determining, from the second IR image, a minimum diameter of the blood vessel; and calculating blood pressure of the patient in dependence upon the maximum and minimum diameters of the blood vessel.

  • Patent number: 9858090
    Abstract: Generating customized on-demand videos from automated test scripts is provided. Responsive to receiving a request for an instruction on performing a task on a computer, a database of automated test scripts may be searched to identify a set of test scripts that comprise a set of executable actions associated with the task. An automation test sequence associated with performing of the task is built based on test scripts identified in the searching. The automation test sequence is run on a machine. While the automation test sequence is running on the machine, screen activities of the running automation test sequence are recorded to generate a video, e.g., by running a video capture program.
