  • Patent number: 11244123
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include obtaining, by processor, a first message composed in a first language and obtaining, by the processor, a translated first message. The translated first message may include a translation of the first message from the first language to a second language. The method may further include determining, by the processor, that the translated first message includes a translation-generated additional meaning, and notifying, by the processor, the first user of the determination.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11212001
    Abstract: Aspects include obtaining, by a sending system, a measured receive optical power level of an optical signal that was received at a receiving system coupled to the sending system via an optical network. The optical signal was sent via an optical transmitter of the sending system to an optical receiver of the receiving system. An optimal receive optical power level of the optical receiver of the receiving system is determined by the sending system. The sending system adjusts an output optical power level of the optical transmitter in response to determining that the measured receive optical power level is not within a threshold of the optimal receive optical power level. The adjusting is performed without decoupling the sending system from the receiving system.

  • Patent number: 10956004
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, a computer-implemented method includes detecting an initiation of a user interaction and in response, determining one or more user interface elements displayed on a display, a first user interface element being at a first position on the display. The method further includes, based on determining a completion of the user interaction at the first position on the display, selecting the first user interface element based on a determination that a second user interface element is rendered at the first position, the second user interface element being rendered at the first position between the initiation and the completion of the user interaction.
