Abstract: A control circuit is provided on a printed circuit board to detect the presence of a memory module installed in at least one of a plurality of memory module connectors, wherein installation of the memory module is known to cause impedance to decrease in a segment of a daisy chain memory circuit. The impedance of a first signal conductor of the daisy chain memory circuit is automatically altered to reduce a mismatch in impedance between the first signal conductor and the segment in response to detecting the presence of the memory module in the connector. A metal element is incorporated into the printed circuit board a spaced distance from the first signal conductor, and the control circuit may selectively activate one or more relays to cause the metal element to function as either a floating trace or a ground reference.

Abstract: A computer receives a short phrase. The short phrase is transmitted in a query to a search engine. The computer receives one or more search results from the search engine in response to the query, and parses one or more longer phrases that include the short phrase from each of the one or more search results. The computer transmits the one or more longer phrases to a language identification engine for identification of the language of the one or more longer phrases, and receives from the language identification engine the language of each of the one or more the longer phrases. The computer then determines the most likely language of the short phrase, based at least in part on the language of each of the one or more the longer phrases.

Abstract: Translation suggestion includes: receiving, by a translation engine from a user, text representing one or more words in a source language; translating, by the translation engine, the one or more words to a target language; identifying, by the translation engine in dependence upon the translated words, a common phrase in the target language for suggestion to the user; and suggesting, by the translation engine, the common phrase to the user.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product automatically selects broadcast content at a broadcast receiver. A first broadcast content on a first channel of a broadcast receiver is received and presented aurally and/or visually. A second broadcast content on a second channel of the broadcast receiver is evaluated to determine if it is rated higher than the first broadcast content. A determination is also made as to whether the first broadcast content can be interrupted by the second broadcast content. If the second broadcast content has a higher rating than the first broadcast content, and if it is deemed permissible to interrupt the first broadcast content, then the broadcast receiver automatically switches to the second channel.
