Abstract: Impact indicators which include an impact registering structure are provided for a package. The impact registering structure registers a location and an elapsed time of an impact of excessive force on the package. The structure includes a first region, a second region, and a barrier film. The first region contains a first element, and the second region contains a second element. The first and second elements are selected to register the location and the elapsed time of the impact when coming in contact. The barrier film separates the first and second regions, and is calibrated to rupture with a specified impact force. Once ruptured, the first element and the second element contact, in part, to provide a location indication of the rupture in the barrier film and a time elapsed indication indicative of the elapsed time from the rupture in the barrier film.

Abstract: An omnichannel platform for determining equity shares of users in a collaboration. The omnichannel platform executable by a processor coupled to a memory and being in communication with computing environments. The omnichannel platform acquires, from the computing environments, metadata with respect to user activity in the collaboration. The omnichannel platform evaluates the metadata for each of the users according to user position, user contribution, and end goal relatedness factors to produce valued user activity. The omnichannel platform determines equity shares of the users in the collaboration based on the valued user activity.

Abstract: Image description specificity determination is provided by a method that obtains digital content to be presented on a device to a user. The digital content includes a digital image, of which a description is to be provided to the user, and text. The method further analyzes the digital content and ascertains a context under which the description of the digital image is to be provided to the user. The method determines, based at least in part on the context, a level of specificity for describing the digital image to the user. The method presents the digital content, including the digital image, to the user in accordance with the determined level of specificity for describing the digital image.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for influencing audience behavior in a presentation are provided. Aspects include receiving presentation data for a presentation on a video conference, analyzing the presentation data to identifying one or more behavior cues for a desired social contagion associated with the presentation, receiving video data for a plurality of audience members for the presentation, analyzing the video data to identifying a first audience member displaying at least one of the one or more behavior cues, and displaying the first audience member in the video conference for a first length of time.
