Abstract: An error may prevent a message delivery system from delivering an asynchronous message to a destination, for instance if the message contains an error or the destination is unreachable. When an error prevents the message delivery system from delivering an asynchronous message, a separate message error recovery system may add the message to a retry database. If the message contained the error, the message error recovery system may edit the message to correct the error, for instance based on input received via a user interface. When the error has been resolved, for instance via the editing of the message or because the destination has become reachable, the message error recovery system may send the original or edited message back to the message delivery system as a retry message. Due to the resolution of the error, the message delivery system may succeed in delivering the retry message to the destination.

Abstract: An intraocular lens for implantation in a capsular bag of an eye comprising a membrane, an internal cavity, and a gas. The membrane may include an anterior face and a posterior face. The anterior and posterior faces may be joined together at a periphery of the membrane. The membrane may include at least one optical element associated therewith. The internal cavity may be defined within the membrane. The gas may be positioned within the internal cavity. The gas may be operable to separate the anterior and posterior faces of the membrane. The intraocular lens may be neutrally buoyant within the capsular bag.

Abstract: An example apparatus for generating real-time director's cuts includes a number of cameras to capture videos of a plurality of participants in a scene. The apparatus also includes a number of microphones to capture audio corresponding to each of the number of participants. The apparatus further includes a role-centric evaluator to receive views-of-participants and a role for each of the participants and rank the views-of-participants based on the roles. Each of the views-of-participants are tagged with one of the participants. The apparatus further includes a view broadcaster to display a highest ranking view-of-participant stream.

Abstract: A medication inventory system may include a medication tray that includes partitions defining compartments and having a tray identifier associated therewith, and each compartment may store a respective medication. The system may include an imaging apparatus, and a processor and an associated memory cooperating with the imaging apparatus to determine the tray identifier of the medication tray, and maintain in the memory a desired respective medication within each compartment based upon the tray identifier. A respective medication image of the medication within each compartment may be obtained and machine learning may be used to determine a medication within each compartment based upon the respective medication image.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an enhanced second screen experience is provided includes a content-rich second screen user interface with information relative to an event and event participants as well as social media aspects relative to the event and event participants.

Abstract: A medication inventory system may include a medication tray that includes partitions defining compartments. The medication tray has a tray identifier associated therewith, and each compartment is for storing a respective medication having a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag associated therewith. The system may include an RFID tag reader, and a processor and an associated memory configured to maintain in the memory a desired respective medication within each compartment based upon the tray identifier, and cooperate with the RFID tag reader to determine the respective medication within each compartment based upon the respective RFID tag. The processor and associated memory may also be configured to determine a discrepancy between the determined medication within each compartment and the desired respective medication within each compartment, and when so generate a display notification that includes a visual indicator corresponding to each compartment determined to have the discrepancy.
