Abstract: Systems and methods of the present technology generally provide computer implemented assistance for data summary, including organizing and generating a summary of data selected form source documents. A data set of user-identified information from one or more source documents and/or custom information may be received by a system server of a data summary system. The system server assigns a unique identifier to the user-identified information and/or the custom information. The system server may then analyze and prioritize the user-identified information and any custom information, and generate a formatted summary that includes the user-identified information and the custom information. The system server may then provide the summary via the communication link to a client device.

Abstract: An RF (radio frequency) positioning system and related method for automated or assisted eye-docking in ophthalmic surgery. The system includes an RF detector system on a laser head and an RFID tag on a patient interface to be mounted on the patient's eye. The detector system includes four RF antennas located on a horizontal plane for detecting RF signals from the RFID tag, where one pair of antennas are located along the X direction at equal distances from the optical axis of the laser head and another pair are located along the Y direction at equal distances from the optical axis. Based on relative strengths and phase difference of the RF signals detected by each pair of antennas, the RF detector system determines whether the patient interface is centered on the optical axis. The RF detector system controls the laser head to move toward the patient interface until the latter is centered on the optical axis.

Abstract: An electronic device, computer program product, and method are provided that automatically focus on meaningful content in an image stream during an instruction-oriented video communication session. The electronic device communicatively connects the electronic device via a network to image stream transmitting (IST) electronic device(s) during a video communication session. A controller of the electronic device identifies a person and a writing surface within an image stream received from the IST electronic device. In response to determining that the person is attending to the writing surface, the controller presents on display device(s) a first portion of the image stream that focuses on the writing surface. In response to determining that the person is not attending to the writing surface, the controller presents on the display device(s) a second portion of the image stream that does not focus on the writing surface.

Abstract: A method and system for increasing the collection of network traffic data in a network based on the occurrence of predetermined criteria. A network appliance manages network traffic in the network and passes data traffic on the network. Network traffic data is collected based on the data traffic passing through the network appliance at a normal level. It is determined whether the network traffic data indicates an abnormal condition. The collection of network traffic data is increased through the network traffic appliance when an abnormal condition is detected. The network traffic data from the increased collection is stored in a memory device.

Abstract: Tracking memory block access frequency in processor-based devices is disclosed herein. In one exemplary embodiment, a processor-based device provides a processing element (PE) that is configured to include an access count table for tracking accesses to memory blocks. The access count table is a packed table that comprises a plurality of access count values, each of which corresponds to a memory block of a plurality of memory blocks. Upon detecting a memory access operation (i.e., data-side operations such as memory load operations, memory store operations, atomic increment operations, set operations, and the like, or instruction-side operations such as code fetch operations) directed to a given memory block, the PE increments an access count value corresponding to the memory block. The access count value then can be accessed (e.g., by a process executing on the PE), and used to determine an access frequency for the memory block.
