Abstract: A method for controlling a virtual meeting includes receiving a meeting template including at least one rule. The rule or rules associated with the meeting template define a first time period relating a first virtual meeting session of a first endpoint computing device and a second time period relating to a second virtual meeting session of a second endpoint computing device. The method further includes causing, responsive to the rule(s), a first audio mute/unmute action to occur in the first virtual meeting session at or prior to an expiration of the first time period. The method further includes causing a second audio mute/unmute action to occur in the second virtual meeting session at or prior to a start of the second time period, where the second time period is different from with the first time period.

Abstract: Methods and systems for path selection involving remote access protocols and/or user behavior are described herein. A request, from a first computing device, for content hosted on a second computing device may be received. Based on network state metrics, remote access protocol metrics, and/or user experience metrics, a path of a plurality of paths between the first computing device and the second computing device may be selected. The path need not be the most direct path between the first computing device and the second computing device, and may comprise remote access to a computing device on an intermediary server. Based on user behavior analysis performed with respect to user input data, a path may be re-selected, and/or the network state metrics, remote access protocol metrics, and/or user experience metrics may be weighted.

Abstract: A computer system to track and enhance performance of a virtual workspace system is provided. The computer system receives requests to profile phases of a distributed process executed by hosts coupled to one another via a network. Each of phase includes operations executed by processes hosted by the hosts. Each of phase either starts with receipt of a request via a user interface of a virtualization client or ends with provision of a response to the request via the user interface. The computer system identifies event log entries that each include an identifier of an event marking a start or an end of one of the operations, constructs a performance profile based on the event log entries, and transmits the performance profile to the user interface.

Abstract: A computing device includes a display, and a processor coupled to the display. The processor is configured to monitor user input for a template keyword that matches with one or more templates, and display on the display one or more application service options in response to the template keyword matching the one or more of the templates. Each application service option corresponds to an action that can be performed. The processor provides template content data to a server, with the template content data defining the action corresponding to the template associated with the application service option selected by a user of the computing device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating recommendations for events are described herein. A computing device may assist a user that is trying to schedule an event by generating recommendations for one or more aspects of the event. Participant's schedule information, event preferences, and/or other information may be used to determine a recommendation for an event. A recommendation may include a time that meets the availability and/or preferences of the participants. A recommendation may indicate one or more participants that should be invited to the event and/or one or more participants that should not be invited to the event.

Abstract: A computer system includes a server and a computing device. The server include templates, with each template corresponding to an action that can be performed by an application service associated with the template. The computing device includes an editor to monitor user input for a template keyword that matches with one or more of the templates, display one or more application service options in response to the template keyword matching one or more of the templates, and display a user interface for the template associated with the application service option selected by a user. The editor is to receive template content data via the user interface to define the action corresponding to the template associated with the application service option selected by the user, and provide the template content data to the server. The server analyzes the template content data and the templates to determine the application service action to be performed.

Abstract: An electrical connector configured to be inserted into a mating connector in an insertion direction includes a housing having a receiving passage, a locking mechanism, and a releasing mechanism. The locking mechanism is rotatably mounted on a top wall of the housing by a pivot and has a locking portion. The locking portion is inserted into a mating housing of the mating connector to lock the electrical connector and the mating connector. The releasing mechanism provides a releasing force to drive the locking mechanism to move from a locked state to a released state to allow the electrical connector to be disengaged from the mating connector.

Abstract: An optical display system includes an information display (image-generating) component, a polarization dependent image offset optical element and possibly also a polarization rotator. By controlling the image offset optical element either by direct applying voltage or by controlling the polarization of the displayed light through the polarization rotator, the display pixels can be switched by a certain portion. By switching between offset and non-offset state with appropriate image displayed, the resolution as observed by the users can be enhanced.
