Abstract: Routines are used to connect bot queries entered via a bot interface and database queries executed on a database. Each routine is associated with routine configurations, including (a) query attributes associated with bot queries that trigger the routine, (2) a database query executed or to be executed for the routine, and/or (3) display settings for displaying information returned from the database query in a bot response. Each routine is configured to generate an output structured data object (SDO) indicating information returned from the database query and the display settings applicable to the information. The output SDOs from the various routines are transmitted to the bot application via a single API endpoint. The routine configurations are entered by a design user through one or more design user interfaces rendered by an integrative configuration application module.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and storage medium associated with providing firmware to a device are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, an apparatus may include a device, and a processor to host a computing environment that includes the device and a device driver of the device. Further, the apparatus may include a firmware agent, disposed outside the computing environment, to provide, on behalf of the device driver, firmware to the device on power-on of the device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A graphics processing unit and a system are described herein. The graphics processing unit includes a decoder, a post processor, and a renderer. The decoder is to decode a video data stream from an incoming data stream. The post processor is to perform post-processing of the decoded video data stream. The renderer is to render the post processed video data stream and discard a null video data stream from a video chat application during a video chat session.

Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for optimizing power consumption in special media playback scenarios. The method includes identifying a scenario where decoding of a first portion of a multimedia stream can be interrupted; and interrupting the decoding of the first portion of the multimedia stream while continuing to decode a second portion of the multimedia stream. The first portion may be a video stream and the second portion may be an audio stream, and the scenario may include a playback window for the video stream being hidden. The first portion may be an audio stream and the second portion may be a video stream, and the scenario may include the audio stream being muted. The method may further include determining that the scenario has changed and resuming decoding of the first portion of the multimedia stream.
