  • Patent number: 10642478
    Abstract: Systems and methods for recording and archiving whiteboard sessions associated with an electronic whiteboard. In aspects, archived whiteboard sessions may be assigned to bookmarks along a whiteboard timeline, which may be editable. For instance, one or more ink strokes associate with an archived whiteboard session may be edited, i.e., added, deleted and/or altered in any way. Moreover, a bookmark corresponding to an archived whiteboard session may be renamed and/or relocated along the whiteboard timeline. In this way, whiteboard sessions may be updated or augmented for future use, may be organized in any suitable order along the whiteboard timeline (e.g., regardless of chronology), and may be named according to descriptive titles or topics (e.g., as opposed to automated date-stamping based on receipt date). In this way, an editable timeline associated with an electronic whiteboard may provide an organized library of readily-presentable content.

  • Patent number: 10366405
    Abstract: A digital magazine presents content items based on user interaction with or preference for content items determined based on how a user flips through different content items of the digital magazine. For example, the user may slow down or pause flipping, flip through content items at an inconsistent pace or change the navigational direction of the flipping, when the user is encountered with content items of interest. By analyzing how a user flips through different content items, content items that the user interacts with can be determined, and content items that the user may interact with or prefer can be determined and presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 10360038
    Abstract: A method to dynamically determine which instructions from a plurality of available instructions to issue in each clock cycle in a multithreaded processor capable of issuing a plurality of instructions in each clock cycle, comprises the steps of: determining a highest priority instruction from the plurality of available instructions; determining the compatibility of the highest priority instruction with each of the remaining available instructions; and issuing the highest priority instruction together with other instructions compatible with the highest priority instruction in the same clock cycle; wherein the highest priority instruction cannot be a speculative instruction. The effect of this is that speculative instructions are only ever issued together with at least one non-speculative instruction.
