Abstract: In enterprises, presentations are designed and made to visiting clients on a routine basis and it is expected that such presentations are required to be effective as much of business depends on right kind of information in right depth and volume made to right audience. The typically followed manual process depends on the capabilities of a person to create “right” presentation targeted for the right audience. It is required to obtain as much information as possible from such persons and use it to generate presentations as much automatically as possible. The automatic generation of presentation is based on (a) agenda; (b) audience profile; (c) analogical examples; and (d) templates. The system generates draft version of presentations and lets users to interactively tune the draft presentations to generate final version of the presentations.

Abstract: Enterprises procure a large number of licenses of a large number of software packages. Software package inventory is one of the high cost items in these enterprises. It is necessary to contain this recurring expenditure on software packages by optimally utilizing the procured licenses. Disclosed is a system and method for maximizing software package license utilization. The system includes components for enabling managers of an enterprise to describe their need for software packages in project plans and users to use the software packages based on such plans. Further, the system also manages unplanned demands to use software packages and maintains a near-optimal inventory of licenses of software packages.

Abstract: The main challenge in providing video on demand service is to meet the quality of service requirements under the conditions when both server and network are loaded. Disclosed is a system and method for meeting this challenge by using a streaming overlay network with edge and core nodes, by the determination of best possible path for bulk copying of a video data based on location information of the nodes thereby distributing load across the network, by the simultaneous frame streaming and bulk copying of a video data, by the caching of a video data in the overlay network, and by the streaming of the video data to a client from an edge node that is close to the client.

Abstract: A system for warning a driver based on the road curvature consisting of multiple integrated cameras to acquire the images of different scales simultaneously, a camera controller to configure the cameras based on the vehicle speed and visibility criteria, a processor to analyze the multi-scale images to construct the mosaic, and warning generation subsystem to warn the driver about the safety speed based on the comparison of the mosaic with the curvature templates.

Abstract: Key to overall video license utilization lies in a cooperative sharing of licenses between the different branch operators of the licenses before the expiry of the licenses. A branch operator has a region of operation and stimulating the demand for licenses that are about to expire across multiple regions increases the overall license utilization. Billboard service provides subscribers with information and facility to preview and select movies for viewing online and it provides an opportunity for branch operators and central operator to maximize the utilization of available licenses. Central billboard provides a platform for branch operators to submit and trade their surplus licenses while a local billboard that is part of a branch operator infrastructure helps create demand for such surplus licenses. Central billboard supports both regulated and unregulated pricing and trading thereby enhancing the chances of trading of licenses that are about to expire.
