Abstract: An example apparatus disclosed herein is to receive network data communicated via a first channel associated with the online collaboration session, the network data including received media data packets. The disclosed example apparatus is also to analyze the network data to determine first loopback data, the first loopback data including at least one of a first quality score based on a first analysis of the received media data packets or a second quality score based on a second analysis of media decoded from the received media data packets. The disclosed example apparatus is also to analyze local data obtained by a local client during the online collaboration session to determine second loopback data. The disclosed example apparatus is further to cause transmission of a loopback message to a moderator client via the second channel, the loopback message based on the first loopback data and the second loopback data.

Abstract: An example apparatus determines a size of a dirty region of a video frame; after the size of the dirty region satisfies a threshold: encode the dirty region of the video frame to generate an encoded dirty region; and cause storing of the dirty region in the cache; and after the size of the dirty region does not satisfy the threshold: cause storing of the video frame in a volatile memory that is separate from the cache; and encode the video frame via inter-encoding to generate an encoded video frame.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a high-throughput continuous culture system and novel methodologies for the experimental evolution of natural and synthetic microbes using the continuous culture system. The microbial culture is exposed to a stress ramp function which is overlaid on top of a culture fitness function. The amount of stress applied to the culture is increased in response to increased fitness of the microbial culture.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating applications are provided. The system includes an application design platform and at least one user device. The application design platform has a visual editing environment for designing applications. The user device edits configuration data and material data corresponding to a subject application using the visual editing environment. The application design platform determines whether the editing of the subject application is completed. When the editing of the subject application is completed, the application design platform reads the configuration data corresponding to the subject application and obtains the material data corresponding to the subject application, and packs the configuration data and the material data into at least one application package for at least one operating system platform.

Abstract: An information transmission method, executed by a servo system, is provided that includes the following steps of: providing an application program to be downloaded, installed and executed in an electronic device, in which, after the electronic device executes the application program and a consent key is pressed, a device datum including the classification of the electronic device is sent to a servo system; recording the device datum in a user database; and pushing a push message corresponding to the classification of the electronic device to the electronic device.

Abstract: A method for collecting usage information of portable devices is provided, wherein the method is performed by at least one server, and includes following steps: (A) providing an application to be downloaded by a device, wherein the application returns a used page message to the at least one server when the device is executed, and the content of the used page message includes identification data of the device, application software which is currently used and operated, a currently used page, environment parameters, and at least one of operational actions on the used page and a retention time on the used page; (B) receiving the used page message from the device; and (C) storing the used page message. The information which users are really interested in can be collected in the present invention, thereby achieving the objective of dispatch accuracy for marketing messages.
