Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for ad hoc, ambient, synchronous multimedia collaboration in a group-based communication system. Embodiments of the invention provide a way for users to quickly discover and initiate real-time collaboration sessions among groups of other users without the burden and overhead of a conventional call or video meeting. Users can quickly and easily discover and switch into and out of these synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions at any time, without disrupting the sessions for other participating users. This enables a diverse set of users to experience a rich multimedia collaboration session collaboration as a convenient ad hoc forum rather than a burdensome scheduled event.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to optimize antenna utilization for downlink signal transmission in wireless networks. The system includes a first antenna at a standard height for regular atmospheric conditions and a second antenna at a different elevation, activated in response to detected atmospheric ducting conditions. The method involves transmitting a downlink signal using the first antenna, monitoring for atmospheric conditions and signal degradation, and switching to the second antenna upon detecting ducting. A dynamic control unit oversees the transition between antennas, ensuring signal integrity and mitigating interference. This adaptive approach enhances network reliability and service quality by addressing the challenges posed by atmospheric variability, thereby improving the user experience in wireless communication networks.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and products for attracting, capturing and converting atmospheric water vapor into useful liquid water utilizing thermal dynamic processes such as deposition, phase change states and fusion.

Abstract: A method for incentivizing agents with scheduling perks that includes: receiving a workload forecast; receiving a staffing plan; receiving data describing a service level target; receiving data describing the scheduling perks; performing a valuation routine for determining a value of points in relation to trading for the scheduling perks during; and performing an offer routine offering the scheduling perks to the current agents per the determined value of the points. The valuation routine includes: measuring current shift performance data; providing the staffing plan, the workload forecast, and the current shift performance data as inputs to a predictive model and calculating therewith an actual forecasted target adherence for the service level target; comparing the actual forecasted target adherence against an acceptable threshold to determine a valuation parameter; and valuing the points according to a direct relationship with the valuation parameter.

Abstract: A method for incentivizing contact center agents with scheduling perks that includes: receiving a workload forecast and staffing plan for a current shift; receiving a service level target; receiving types of scheduling perks; performing a selection routine for determining a select scheduling perk for offering to a select agent; and sending a scheduling perk offer via electronic communication to the select agent. The selection routine may include: selecting a proposed scheduling perks and a proposed agent; modifying the staffing plan to create a proposed staffing plan that reflects the proposed scheduling perk; predicting a proposed forecasted target adherence using the modified staffing plan; determining whether the proposed forecasted target adherence satisfies a threshold defined by an acceptable forecasted target adherence and, if so, deeming the proposed scheduling perk as select scheduling perk and proposed agent as select agent.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to an enterprise group-based communication system. Group-based communication channels may be created and access by client devices associated with users within the enterprise group-based communication system that have various identifiers associated therewith.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a post hole cover comprising a cover portion adapted to substantially overlie a post hole and one or more ground-engaging members extending from the cover portion, wherein the cover portion includes one or more installation portions adapted to facilitate installation of the post hole cover over the post hole.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically assigning physical resource blocks (PRBs) based on available bandwidth. At least a first amount of bandwidth that is carrier controlled is determined. A standardized bandwidth that is greater than the first amount of bandwidth is determined. A bandwidth differential is determined as the difference between he standardized bandwidth and the first amount of bandwidth. Then, PRBs are assigned corresponding to the first amount of bandwidth while zero PRBs are assigned to the bandwidth differential.

Abstract: Medium, method and system for ad hoc, ambient, synchronous multimedia collaboration in a group-based communication system. Embodiments of the invention provide a way for users to quickly establish a real-time collaboration among a group of peers without the burden and overhead of a conventional call or video meeting. Users can quickly and easily join and leave these synchronous multimedia collaboration sessions at any time, without disrupting the session for other users. This enables the user to experience the collaboration as a convenient forum rather than a burdensome scheduled event.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically allocating total uplink power for a wireless communication device (WCD). A distance between a portion of a user's body (e.g., the user's ear) and the WCD is determined. It is then determined whether this distance is less than or greater than a predetermined threshold. If the distance is less than the predetermined threshold, the WCD may use a lower uplink power. If the distance is greater than the predetermined threshold, the WCD may use a higher uplink power. The WCD then transmits wireless uplink signals using either the lower or higher uplink power based on the distance between the WCD and a portion of the user's body.

Abstract: Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to allow members of the interface to communicate within group-based communication channels. The group-based communication interface is configured to relegate selected group-based messaging communications to a separate display pane, where additional messaging communications can be received, thereby maintaining a focused selected group-based communication channel. The selected group-based communication channel is updated to indicate that the selected group-based messaging communications was relegated to a separate display pane, informing the channel members while also allowing the channel members to access the separate display pane if desired. Accordingly, the selected group-based communication interface provides for efficient and focused group-based communications.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of identifying and mitigating a risk of deathloss of an animal, comprising receiving, at a processor from a hematology analyzer, information obtained from a sample from said animal, wherein said information comprises a leukocyte absolute count and a leukocyte differential from said sample, said sample comprising leukocytes, analyzing, by said processor, said leukocyte absolute count and said leukocyte differential to determine a survivability index for said animal, and managing the animal based on the survivability index.
