Abstract: Power-saving techniques in computing devices through communication bus control start a timer when data is ready to be sent across a communication bus from a first terminus to a second terminus. While the timer is running, any data from any channel that is ready to be sent across the communication bus from the first terminus to the second terminus is accumulated. At expiration of the timer, all data is sent across the communication bus. By holding or accumulating the data in this fashion, unnecessary transitions between low-power states and active states on the communication bus are reduced and power is conserved. The timer may be set based on latency requirements of the data ready to be sent.

Abstract: A status system suitable for monitoring and maintaining status for shared resources is provided. The status system obtains status for a shared resource from a plurality of users of the shared resource, the status indicating an observed status of the shared resource received via a device of each of the plurality of users. Based on the obtained status from the plurality of users, the status system determines a current status for the shared resource. A central database in a central data storage is updated with the current status for the shared resource. In response to a request for the status of the shared resource, the status system retrieves the current status of the shared resource and causes display of the current status in a user interface.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for scheduling a resource that is shared by multiple people. The shared resource is included in a plurality of shared resources, and a number of attributes are associated with the plurality of shared resources. The attributes are grouped and arranged in a hierarchy. When a shared resource is to be used or scheduled, the hierarchy is analyzed to determine one or more shared resources in the plurality of shared resources to suggest to a requestor scheduling the shared resource.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-readable storage media for determining that a user of a general search engine has intent to not only view search results in a native language on a general search engine results page, but also to have non-native language learning opportunities presented on the general search engine results page. The non-native language learning opportunities include a set of search results drawn from a non-native language document source and presented in the non-native language. Other opportunities include a non-native language dictionary definition of a received search query, a non-native language translation of the search query, and on-demand translation tools available on the general search engine results page.

Abstract: Dynamic time rebasing may be provided. After receiving a request to view a calendar item, a base time associated with the calendar item may be retrieved. A local bias associated with the request to view the calendar item may be identified. The base time may be converted to a local time according to the local bias. The calendar item may then be displayed according to the converted local time.
