Abstract: Methods having corresponding systems and computer-readable media comprise: accessing calendaring information associated with a smart teleconference meeting, the calendaring information including a time of the meeting, a meeting location, identities of meeting invitees, and contact information for the meeting invitees; transmitting the calendaring information from a meeting coordinator to a conferencing system configured to contact meeting participants and join them to the meeting; contacting the meeting invitees with the conferencing system conferencing system and joining them to the meeting; generating a roster of the meeting participants based on the calendaring information; tracking a participation status of the meeting participants; and updating the roster to reflect the participation status of the meeting participants.

Abstract: A circumferential electrode includes a moisture-containing layer comprising a first side and an electrically conductive layer on the moisture-containing layer, the electrically conductive layer including a second side and a third side opposite the second side, the third side of the electrically conductive layer contacting the first side of the moisture-containing layer. The circumferential electrode further includes a barrier layer on the electrically conductive layer, the barrier layer including a fourth side adjacent to the second side of the electrically conductive layer. The circumferential electrode further includes a bulk region and a border region, the border region completely surrounding the bulk region, and the electrically conductive layer is in the bulk region but is not in the border region. The circumferential electrode can be part of an electrotherapy system which can be used to apply various current waveforms to patients in order to treat a variety of ailments and conditions.

Abstract: A method for converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images includes tracking an image reconstruction of hidden surface areas to be consistent with image areas adjacent to the hidden surface areas over a sequence of frames making up a three-dimensional motion picture.

Abstract: A method for providing a three-dimensional image includes selecting a screen size or range of screen sizes for a three-dimensional image and scaling depth information associated with objects in a three-dimensional image to preserve perceived depths of the objects when the three-dimensional image is presented at the screen size or within the range of screen sizes selected.

Abstract: An exemplary method of reconstructing a hidden surface area in an image includes the steps of: identifying a separation pixel gap in an image resulting from a repositioning of image pixels to create a three-dimensional image; identifying pixels from one or more images; and filling the separation pixel gap with the pixels. Replacement pixels can be retrieved from a single image in a search sequence of images, or from a plurality of images in the sequence. One or more pixel fill techniques can be employed to determine replacement pixels for the separation pixel gap which best match adjacent background pixels.

Abstract: A method for converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images includes: tracking an object in an image, the object having an object edge and an object outline thereabout, from frame to frame over a sequence of images; and creating object outlines in subsequent frames for converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images maintaining an object outline to object edge distance spacing relationship as the object moves or changes from frame to frame.

Abstract: Methods for converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional images employing various interactive image processing tools that allow a user to apply any number or combination of image pixel repositioning depth contouring effects, algorithms or the like to create three-dimensional images.
