Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods of generating and utilizing visual representations for audio meetings. A method includes: receiving an audio recording of a meeting having multiple participants; determining, for each meeting participant, time-slots in which that meeting participant spoke during the meeting; generating and displaying an audio playback progress bar which visually differentiates among time-slots of different meeting participants. Hovering or selection of a particular time-point on the audio progress bar, causes generation and display of a textual phrase that was uttered at that time-point by a meeting participant, together with an indication of the speaker; and optionally with several other preceding phrases and following phrases. Transcript portions are also color-coded or visually-coded, to efficiently distinguish among phrases of various meeting participants.

Abstract: A method for suspending and resuming a connection for desktop virtualization between two computing devices. In response to a client computing device shutting down, suspending, hibernating, or losing network connectivity during virtualization, the server computing device may itself shut down, suspend, or hibernate, or may pause or suspend the operation of one or more applications currently hosted by the server computing device. The server may detect that connectivity has been restored and resume operation of hosted applications. Alternatively, the client may transmit a command to the server indicating that the client is ready to resume virtualization. The client may also be configured to transmit a command that may cause the server to resume a powered-on state after the server was shut down or in a state of hibernation.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel method for performing network address translation to share a limited number of external source network addresses among a large number of connections. Instead of allocating an external source network address for an egressing packet just based on its internal source network address, the method of some embodiments allocates the external source network address based on the egressing packet's source network address and destination network address. This allows a limited number of external source network addresses to be re-used for different destination network address. For instance, in some embodiments, the method's network address allocation scheme allows the same 64K (e.g., 2{circumflex over (?)}16) external source ports to be used for 64K connections for each destination network address.

The equipment can thus relay commands intended for a device of the actuator type connected to the fourth network and transfer alarms to the management system according to data supplied to said equipment by devices of the sensor type connected to said fourth network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for an efficient method of tunneling that enables a network to transition from one address family to another address family with a reduction in traffic loss. This may be accomplished by updating network devices to support a second address family in addition to a first address family. Once the second address family is supported by the network devices, tunnel endpoints using those network devices can establish a second tunnel based on the second address family. As the second tunnel is established, the network continues to use a first tunnel to route network traffic while the first tunnel uses the first address family.
