  • Publication number: 20230385067
    Abstract: An application or other non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing instructions is disclosed. The instructions are executed by at least one processing device which is configured to store at least one user preference. The at least one user preference comprises a selection of one or more monitored applications and one or more warning thresholds corresponding to the one or more monitored applications. The one or more warning thresholds comprise a user selected time period. Further, time information associated with a use of the one or more monitored applications, is obtained. The time information is determined according to an accessibility event notifications function, on an operating system of a device. Further, the at least one user preference and the obtained time information are compared to determine whether the one or more warning thresholds have been exceeded. Thereafter, a notification is delivered to the user, upon exceeding the one or more warning thresholds.

  • Publication number: 20230374313
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of forming a method for forming spectrally selective nanoparticles, the method comprising: heating a growth solution comprising a zinc salt precursor, zinc oxide seed particles, and one or more dopants in a non-pressurized hydrothermal reactor to a first temperature under agitative conditions for a reaction period; cooling the reactor to a second temperature less than the first temperature for a cooling period to form a precipitate of recrystallized doped zinc oxide nanoparticles dispersed in a suspension; and separating and collecting the recrystallized nanoparticles from the suspension, wherein the collected nanoparticles exhibit a spectral selectivity in the atmospheric window. Also disclosed herein are comprising a population of polycrystalline zinc oxide nanoparticles doped with one or more dopants, wherein the population of nanoparticles is spectrally selective in the atmospheric window.

  • Patent number: 11716364
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product reduce bandwidth requirements of a virtual collaboration session. The method includes capturing session data from a virtual collaboration session. The session data is selected from a group consisting of video data, audio data, an image of a screen of a connected device and text data. The method also includes connecting to a live blog platform. The method further includes transmitting a text transcription of the virtual collaboration session to the live blog platform. The text transcription is generated by scanning the audio data using a speech-to-text algorithm. In addition, the method includes classifying a topic in the virtual collaboration session based on importance. Lastly, the method includes transmitting a multimedia file related to the topic to the live blog platform in response to the topic being classified as important. The multimedia file is extracted from the session data.

  • Patent number: 11238708
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for determining engagement levels of an audience and providing associated recommendations to a presenter. The method includes one or more processors receiving sensor data from sensors located in an audience area during a presentation. The method further includes one or more processors determining an engagement level for a first individual in the audience area utilizing sensor data from sensors associated with the first individual. The method further includes one or more processors determining whether the determined engagement level for the first individual indicates that the first individual is not engaged with the presentation. In response to determining that the determined engagement level of the first individual indicates that the first individual is not engaged with the presentation, the method further includes one or more processors determining recommendations to increase engagement of the first individual.

  • Patent number: 9975075
    Abstract: The dumpster filtration system is an air filtration system that removes dust and other particles from a dumpster. The dumpster filtration system uses a fan placed externally to the dumpster that generates uses negative air pressure to draw dust and other particles through a gooseneck hose. The gooseneck hose routes air from the dumpster through a HEPA filter which removes dust and other particles from the air before it is ejected from the system. The dumpster filtration system comprises a gooseneck hose and a HEPA filtration system.
