Abstract: This disclosure provides a system by which content/service providers can enable gaze-responsive advertisement/targeted content mechanisms for CPE devices like STB's/OTT streaming devices or systems or display devices. The system creates a new opportunity for content/service providers to advertise and helps in generating revenue. The system leverages using gaze-based technology in CPE devices like STB's or large display devices. A gaze-based algorithm helps the CPE devices to locate the viewer point of attention, using which gaze-responsive advertisement/content targeting can be achieved. The disclosure provides an end to end solution—from content creation to content consumption for gaze-responsive advertisement/media delivery.

Abstract: Disclosed is a piston position control system that includes a fluid control valve configured to control a position of a piston. The piston position control system includes a controller having stored instructions operable to receive a piston position command. The stored instructions are operable to receive a first time-of-flight and a second time-of-flight. The stored instructions are operable to operate the fluid control valve to adjust the position of the piston according to the piston position command based on a position estimate defined by the first time-of-flight, t1 and the second time-of-flight, t2. The stored instructions are operable to adjust the position estimate to operate the fluid control valve based on a baseplate temperature derived from a fluid temperature defined by the first time-of-flight and the second time-of-flight.

Abstract: In an instant messaging system users can be assigned groups to assist in distributing messages quickly and easily among designated users. A hierarchical grouping structure can be defined to provide increased control of groups and message routing. Parent and child groups can be defined, and a cascaded message flow can route messages from parent to child groups, but not from child to parent groups, which is particularly useful in very large systems with large numbers of users.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for interfacing clients with line of business (LOB) systems through a web service. An operation of the LOB system that the LOB system is configured to perform is selected. The selected operation is indicated in a metadata map. A first mapping is included in the metadata map of one or more LOB-side parameters of the operation to corresponding service-side parameters. A second mapping is included in the metadata map of one or more LOB-side types associated with the LOB-side parameters to corresponding service-side types. The metadata map may be serialized into a service contract. The service contract may be used by the web service to expose the LOB system to clients. The metadata map may be deserialized and used by the web service to map messages between the web service and LOB system.
