Abstract: A system for managing a virtual meeting (e.g., video conference) includes memory storing a video conference application and at least one processor to execute the video conference application to generate a virtual meeting view for a first attendee including multiple attendee video streams arranged according to a virtual attendee arrangement specifying positions of the attendee video streams relative to each other in the virtual meeting view, receive second attendee audio data associated with a second attendee video stream, identify a particular video stream position specified by the virtual attendee arrangement, determine differential stereo effect data corresponding with the particular video stream position, and apply the differential stereo effect data to the second attendee audio data to provide differential audio signals on different audio channels output to the first attendee to create a stereo sound effect corresponding with the particular video stream position.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method includes wirelessly receiving, by an electrode of a stylus, a signal sent from a touch sensor of a computing device. The received signal includes a data bit and is based on a predefined code sequence. The method also includes producing, by the electrode of the stylus, a derivative signal from the received signal, the derivative signal corresponding to a derivative with respect to time of the received signal. The method further includes performing, by the stylus, a cross-correlation of the derivative signal and an expected-signal pattern, the expected-signal pattern based on a derivative with respect to time of the predefined code sequence, where the cross-correlation produces a cross-correlation signal including one or more cross-correlation pulses. The method also includes determining, by the stylus, based on the cross-correlation signal, that the received signal is associated with the predefined code sequence.

Abstract: An intelligent current drive is disclosed that couples an active current source to a bus line to increase the rate of pull-up and decouples the active current source from the bus line prior to reaching the desired pull-up voltage.

Abstract: A system (799) and method for continuous web sublimate dye transfer printing uses platens (800, 805) which also act as air bearings. The platens are heated by resistive heating elements (825) or other means. A sandwich of air-impermeable dye-image donor tissue (1100), the medium to be printed (1140), and air-impermeable backup tissue (1115) are fed through the heated air bearing where the dye transfer step occurs. The tissues and medium are supplied on supply rolls (1105, 1120, and 1145) which are restrained by braking mechanisms (not shown). Take-up rolls (1110, 1160, and 1135) are driven by motor-and-clutch mechanisms (not shown) so that the tissues and medium to be printed move through the heated region between the platens without sliding past one-another. The platens are forced together on either side of the tissue-medium sandwich with sufficient pressure to prevent the sublimate dye gas from migrating sideways through the medium being printed.

Abstract: A wireline logging method including estimating a data rate requirement associated with a tool string to be connected to a wireline cable and determining an operating characteristic of a wireline cable at the surface. The operating characteristic is indicative of the wireline cable's data rate capacity. Before inserting the wireline cable into a well bore, a down hole value of the operating characteristic is modeled and a down hole data rate capacity is derived based thereon. Upon determining that the estimated data rate requirement does not match the down hole data rate capacity, the tool string is modified to remove or add tools to the tools string to match the tool strings data rate requirements with the estimated data rate capacity of the tool string and cable.
