  • Patent number: 11115454
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include systems and methods for real-time feedback for online collaboration communication quality. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes monitoring a conference between a plurality of participants, wherein each participant accesses the conference via a respective Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) device. The method further includes detecting, by a processor, an indication, by a scoring system that monitors the conference, of a degradation of sound quality of at least one VoIP device being used to access the conference. The processor engages in verifying the indication of the degradation by analyzing a peer-to-peer test between the VoIP device that has an indication of a degradation of sound quality and a VoIP device that does not have an indication of a degradation of sound quality.

  • Publication number: 20210083889
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include efficient meeting management A non-limiting example of a computer-implemented method includes profiling, by a processor, a first trait of a first participant and a second trait of a second participant and determining, by the processor, a first sociability score of the first participant and a second sociability score of the second participant. The computer-implemented method profiles, by the processor, a first skill set of the first participant and a second skill set of the second participant and calculates, by the processor, participation scores of the first participant and the second participant based on the traits, sociability scores, and skill sets of the first participant and the second participant. The computer-implemented method allocates, by the processor, time to the first participant and the second participant based on the respective participation scores of the first participant and the second participant.

  • Patent number: 10541931
    Abstract: A data congestion control can operate in a hierarchical sensor network. A first data rate of data received from a set of devices is determined to compare unfavorably to a congestion threshold. A most favorable negotiation score of a set of negotiation scores corresponding to the set of devices is determined. A proposed reduced transmission rate that is less than a current transmission rate of the device and that compares favorably a boundary conditions of the device is determined. A transmission rate reduction request is generated for transmission to the one of the set of devices that indicates the proposed reduced transmission rate. An updated data rate of the data received from the set of devices is determined, and a difference between the updated data rate and the first aggregated data rate corresponds to a reduction of rate of transmission by the device.

  • Publication number: 20190112581
    Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to host cells with artificial endosymbionts, wherein the artificial endosymbiont and the host cell communicate with each other to alter a phenotype of the host cell. In some embodiments, the communication comprises the secretion of a polypeptide from the artificial endosymbiont into the host cell. The secreted polypeptide can be a selectable marker, a reporter protein, a transcription factor, a signal pathway protein, a receptor, a growth factor, a cytokine, an effector molecule or other factors that can produce a phenotype in the host cell.
