Abstract: The inventive subject matter herein is directed toward improved scheduling and planning system that detects a problematic event in a workflow. When the event is detected, the system automatically notifies a set of contacts from a hierarchical contact list. The system then automatically notifies other sets of contacts depending upon the response from the first set of contacts. A cascade of different types of notifications could be triggered from a single detected event as each contact responds and provides information that could be used to trigger additional notifications.

An electronic device, comprising: a memory having instructions stored thereon; a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to cause the electronic device to perform the following operations: analyzing an original video stream being played to determine start time and duration of a first video stream part to be replaced in the original video stream; retrieving a second video stream part with the same duration; playing the second video stream part in a front end at the determined start time to play the original video stream in a backend; and playing the original video stream in the front end after finishing playing the second video stream part.

Abstract: Content streams may be segmented to provide automatic extraction and storage of content items without intervening commercials or other unrelated content. These content items may then be stored in a database and made accessible to subscribers through, for example, an on-demand service. Automatic segmentation may include the identification of program boundaries, segmentation of a content stream based on the boundaries and the subsequent classification of the segments into content types. For example, audio and video duplication detection may be used to identify commercials since commercials tend to repeat frequently over a relatively short amount of time. A system may further identify an end of program indicator in a video stream to determine when a program ends. Accordingly, if a program ends after a scheduled end time, a recording device (e.g., the program is being recorded) may automatically extend the recording time to capture the entire program.

Abstract: While a vehicle is in a minimal power state, a first sensor is activated based on a location of the vehicle within a monitored area. The vehicle is transitioned to an on state based on detecting an object via data from the first sensor. Then the vehicle is operated to block an exit from the monitored area based on identifying the object as an unauthorized object.

Abstract: In a see-through waveguide-based HMD device configured to display holographic virtual images within a field of view (FOV) of a device user, a glint-based eye tracker illumination system provides infrared (IR) point sources at known locations having a predetermined angular distribution using optical components—including input and output couplers and diffusers—on a waveguide that is located in front of the user's eyes. An input coupler couples light from an IR source into the illumination system waveguide which is propagated to one or more output couplers. Separate diffuser elements aligned with the output couplers distribute the out-coupled IR light into a deterministic range of divergent angles to function as point sources for eye tracker glints. Various illustrative illumination system waveguide architectures are disclosed in which the optical components can be disposed on the same or opposite sides of the waveguide in dual-layered and dual-sided arrangements.
