Abstract: Adaptive state detection can be provided for conferencing solutions. A monitoring service can be executed on the computing system employed by each participant to access a conference. The monitoring service on a presenter computing system can detect when the presenter has commenced sharing his/her screen or application and can identify a schema for performing state detection. The monitoring service shares the schema with the monitoring services on the listener computing systems. As the screen content is shared, the monitoring services can implement the schema to cause state notifications to be provided to the monitoring service on the presenter computing system. The state notifications can represent whether the listener computing systems are receiving the shared screen content and/or to what extent the shared screen content is delayed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for realizing practical applications of high speed digital image correlation (DIC) for dynamic quantities of interest are provided. In particular, a series of images are captured for a component of interest in which a non-filtered sensor and an analog low-pass filtered sensor are included within the region of interest for the series of images. Displacement signals are obtained for the component of interest, the non-filtered sensor, and the analog low-pass filtered sensor by applying digital image correlation processing to the series of images, which may also be wavelet filtered. Dynamic quantities of interest may be generated and derived from the displacement signals after having been wavelet filtered. Such dynamic quantities of interest based on the wavelet filtered DIC-derived displacement signal may be compared to sensor-derived dynamic quantities of interest to determine if aliasing is or is likely to be present.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network, an access node controller determines data throughput over a target access node. A source access node wirelessly exchanges user data with User Equipment (UE) and determines data throughput. The source access node receives signal parameters for the source access node and target access node from the UE. The source access node compares the signal parameters and responsively transfers a handover request that indicates the target node and the UE throughput over the source node. The access node controller receives the handover request and compares the source throughput to the target throughput to determine a handover value. The access node controller transfers the handover value to the source access node. The source access node compares the signal parameters based on the handover value, and responsively hands-over the UE to the target access node which wirelessly exchanges user data with the UE.
