Abstract: There is disclosed in one example a mobile telephone, including: a hardware platform including a processor and a memory; a telecommunication transceiver; and instructions encoded within the memory to instruct the processor to: identify a call made via the telecommunication transceiver; analyze the call and assign the call a predicted local reputation according to the analysis, including a legitimacy confidence score; if the legitimacy confidence score is less than a first threshold, terminate the call; if the legitimacy confidence score is greater than a second threshold, cease analysis of the call; and if the legitimacy confidence score is between the first and second thresholds, continue analysis of the call.

Abstract: A system and a method for condition monitoring during the operation of a conveyor system, in particular an airport baggage conveyor system, includes conveyor units and a background system. A conveyor unit includes an individual conveyor line and/or a group of conveyor lines. It is possible to record an individual current characteristic of an individual conveyor unit. Each individual conveyor unit has a defined current characteristic during fault-free operation and the background system is configured to record the defined current characteristic and the actual current characteristic of the conveyor unit. The background system is configured to analyze the actual current characteristic of the conveyor unit and to signal, on the basis of the analysis, an impending wear and/or a malfunction of the conveyor system, in particular of a conveyor line of the conveyor unit.

Abstract: The invention is that of a system and method of investing in a foreign company, particularly in Australia, in a manner that confers unique benefits in terms of financial risk, corporate legal risk and tax treatment of investors. A search fund principal forms a limited liability company within the United States and enters the limited liability company into a limited partnership agreement with a foreign (preferably Australian) general partner and optionally one or more limited partners. The limited partnership registers with the foreign government (preferably Australia) as a venture capital limited partnership and is subject to Australian corporate law and not subject to Australia's thin capitalization rules. The limited partnership invests in the foreign company, preferably in Australia, by way of a convertible note. Investors in the limited liability company and limited partnership are able to receive certain returns on investment that are tax-exempt under Australian law.

Abstract: A data enrichment system may include an attribute relevance module to measure relevance of an attribute to a data object to be enriched. The data object may include the attribute including a known or an unknown value. An output value confidence module may calculate a confidence of an output value of a source used for enrichment of the data object. The output value may represent the known and/or unknown values of the attribute. The system may use the measured relevance of the attribute and the calculated confidence of the output value to determine assignment of the known or unknown values to the attribute.

Abstract: A method includes scanning, through a processor of a data processing device communicatively coupled to a memory, display data to be rendered on a display unit communicatively coupled to the data processing device for boundaries of one or more virtual object(s) therein. The method also includes rendering, through the processor, a portion of the display data outside the boundaries of the one or more virtual object(s) at a reduced level compared to a portion of the display data within the boundaries on the display unit.

Abstract: Methods and systems monitor and log software and hardware failures (i.e. errors) over a communication network. In one embodiment, the method includes detecting an event caused by an error, and generating a log of the event in response to the detection. The method further includes generating a first message prompting if a user consents to allowing a third party provider track the error and transmitting the log to the third party provider over the communication network if the user consents to allowing the third party provider track the error. The method yet further includes generating a second message prompting if the user wants to provide additional information relating to the error. The method still further includes providing a user interface including an error reporting portal to the user if the user wants to provide additional information and transmitting the portal to the third party provider.

Abstract: An apparatus and system are provided for adjusting the depth of stereoscopic video content. The apparatus comprises a frame that supports a first lens and a second lens. The first lens is associated with a first image in a stereoscopic image pair and the second lens is associated with a second image in the stereoscopic image pair. An interface for controlling a parameter associated with the stereoscopic image pair is integrated into the frame of the apparatus. The system includes a display device configured to display stereoscopic video content and coupled to the apparatus for controlling the stereoscopic video content.

Abstract: A method includes executing a process on a data processing device, and defining, through a driver component, mapping between: the process and a display unit communicatively coupled to the data processing device, and one or more other processes executing on the data processing device and one or more other display unit(s) communicatively coupled to the data processing device. Based on the execution of the process on the data processing device, the method also includes providing a capability to: preview display data rendered on the one or more other display unit(s) through the display unit in a user interface provided through the process, and configure the display data rendered on the one or more other display unit(s) and/or one or more parameter(s) associated with the display data rendered on the one or more other display unit(s) and/or the one or more other display unit(s) directly through the preview.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for employee performance evaluation and monitoring. The method and system eliminates the need to follow the legacy performance review process. The method and system makes it easy for the employee to get timely/continuous inputs for self improvement. Further, the method and system also eliminates the need of complex and lengthy performance evaluation process at the time of appraisals as the calculated worth or value of employee is available at any given point of time for bonus and rewards/recognition. This also eases up the process of comparing performance of team members as the aggregate calculated value or worth can be uniformly used for comparison which is not possible in case of only textual performance notes.

Abstract: A data mapping acceleration system may include a syntactic profile module to generate a syntactic profile of a data source to be mapped. A semantic classification module may generate a semantic classification of the data source. A similarity module may evaluate the syntactic profile and semantic classification to determine an overall similarity between attributes of data from the data source for mapping the data source.
