Abstract: Systems, methods and tools for improving healthcare communication between physicians and patients by utilizing audio recordings systems capable of collecting voice data of patient conversations with healthcare providers. The communication system converts the recorded voice data into text using voice to text conversion software, analyzes the voice data using a natural language processor to parse for key words and phrases relating to the patient's health and concerns. Voice data may be additionally analyzed by cognitive analysis systems and machine learning algorithms designed to identify the sentiment that the patient is portraying while discussing the patient's concerns about health-related experiences or symptoms and cross-referenced with social media and other external websites or applications, confirming a patient's sentiment or providing additional key words and phrases unraised by the patient when communicating with the physician.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a receiver to determine if a high speed communication link is in an idle mode or in an active mode. Signals during the idle mode are of lower amplitude and lower frequency compared to amplitude and frequency in the active mode. A signal detector in the receiver determines if the high speed communication link has transitioned from idle mode to active mode and, if so, wakes up high power circuitry in the receiver to receive data.

Abstract: A system and method for providing counter intuitive recommendations to a user. A user profile is obtained for the user. A determination is made that a trigger condition has occurred for the user. The duration of the trigger condition is also determined. The trigger condition is associated with the user's profile. A request for a recommendation is received, and a list of recommendations is obtained. The recommendations are compared against the trigger condition to determine if the recommendation is compatible with the trigger condition. Those recommendations determined not to be compatible with the trigger condition are removed from the set of recommendations.

Abstract: It is determined, if a simulated hardware signal of a design for an electronic circuit has an influence on a checker for simulation errors. To achieve this, a checker control flow database is generated for a static code description containing checkers and concerned simulated signals. Further, a database based on the output of instrumented verification code is generated, thus gaining dynamic information about the verification code. Herein, the hardware signal values will be associated with colored values or, alternatively, attributed values. For the checkers in the checker control flow database, a list of attributes is generated and stored. Based on the above operations, a hardware signal database is generated, wherein hardware signals are mapped to a list of checkers, based on determining, for each checker in the checker database, the associated hardware signals from its list of attributed values.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a local copy target is also a local primary of an incomplete consistency group of an ongoing asynchronous mirror relationship. Completion of the consistency group is facilitated notwithstanding that the local copy operation was initiated after the consistency group was initiated. In one aspect, asynchronous data mirroring logic, prior to the overwriting of existing data of the target, reads the existing data of the target for purposes of mirroring the read data to a remote secondary target of the consistency group. As a result, existing data of the local copy target which is also a local primary source of the consistency group, may be safely overwritten. Other features and aspects may be realized, depending upon the particular application.

The light indicator notifies a traffic participant associated with the object that the driver has seen the object.

Abstract: A method and associated systems for a self-learning energy switch. The switch creates an array of cognitive models for each candidate energy source. Each array returns a probability that its corresponding source is the most cost-effective and operationally suitable energy supplier at that time. Each model in an array contributes to the array's returned probability as a function of a corresponding class of decision-making factors. The system fine-tunes the models by weighting them as functions of extrinsic evidentiary information that may imply future behavior of the decision-making factors and combines each model's returned probabilities to select an optimal energy source. The system then automatically routes power from the optimal source to a consumer's energy-consuming premises. This self-learning procedure repeats indefinitely, continuously tuning the models in response to identifying additional extrinsic evidence and reasons why the system's previous energy selections were either optimal or non-optimal.
