The method further includes applying the first set of implementation details to the battery-powered device to perform the first plan of activities.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing a first mapping between a set of two or more IP addresses and a set of two more servers. The first mapping is embodied in a virtual network layer modifiable by a workload advisor based on a weight recommendation. A plurality of transactions are received from a load balancer. The weight recommendation for the servers is received, where the weight recommendation defines a goal for weighting transactions among the servers. A second mapping, from the two or more IP addresses to the servers, is determined dynamically by the workload advisor, based on the weight recommendation and absent communication between the load balancer and the workload advisor. A second plurality of transactions are received and are routed to the servers through the virtual network layer according to the second mapping.

Abstract: A global positioning system (GPS) is provided and includes a processing system that is in communication with a network and memory. The memory has executable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed, cause the processing system to control the network to coarsely identify a region currently occupied by a tracked device and determine an accurate location of the tracked device responsive to a predefined event.

Abstract: Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for normalizing user responses to events. Aspects include receiving, by a processor, an indication of a level of satisfaction associated with an interaction by a user; receiving, by the processor, user data for the user; analyzing the user data to generate a normalized value of emotions of the user; and applying the normalized value to the indication of the level of satisfaction to generate a normalized level of satisfaction of the user associated with the interaction by the user.

Abstract: A method for augmenting a review. The method includes accessing a review database and a particular review of an object. Providing a reviewer profile including a plurality of reviewer attributes and analyzing the reviewer attributes to determine a rationale for the review.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for sharing of photographs based on targets depicted in the photographs are provided. Aspects include receiving photographs of an event from one or more users, wherein each of the photographs include metadata related to the photograph and a usage policy for the photograph, identifying one or more targets depicted in the photographs based at least in part on the metadata and storing the photographs in a database. Aspects also include receiving an access request for photographs that include a first target from a requestor, wherein the access request includes an indication of the desired use, identifying one or more photographs in the database that depict the first target and which permit the desired use and providing the one or more photographs to the requester.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for removing unwanted objects from a photograph are provided. Aspects include identifying a plurality of objects in the photograph and classifying each of the plurality of objects as one of a static object and a dynamic object. Aspects also include removing one or more of the plurality of objects classified as dynamic objects from the photograph and identifying one or more additional photographs, which include one or more of the plurality of objects classified as static objects. Aspects further include integrating content from at least one of the one or more additional photographs in a location of the removed dynamic objects in the photograph.

Abstract: Aspects relate to computer implemented methods and system to obtain self-pictures with an image capture device. The methods include receiving, by a processor, an input regarding a selected picture type to be captured, receiving, by an image sensor, a live image capture, identifying a subject in the live image capture, comparing the live image capture of the subject with a reference set based on the selected picture type, determining, based on the comparison, if the live image capture matches with the reference set, and providing feedback instructions regarding an adjustment to be made to improve matching between the live image capture and the reference set.

Abstract: A smart opening system is provided. The smart opening system includes a vehicle defining an aperture, a door coupled to the vehicle to assume a first position at which the aperture is closed and multiple second positions at which the aperture is open and to move between the first and second positions, a sensor disposed to sense obstructions surrounding the vehicle and a processing element coupled to the sensor and configured to determine whether any of the obstructions are within a range of motion of the door.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes providing a mapping between a set of two or more IP addresses and a set of two more servers. A weight recommendation for the servers is received, based at least in part on server data related to current states of the servers, where the weight recommendation represents a goal for distributing a plurality of transactions among the servers. The mapping is modified based at least in part on the weight recommendation. A transaction is received, directed toward a first IP address of the two or more IP addresses. The transaction is routed to a first server, of the two or more servers, associated with the first IP address according to the modified mapping.
