Abstract: A head-mounted device may have an inner display that displays images for a user and an outer display that informs nearby people of the status of the user and inner display. For example, the outer display may display an image of a face, an abstract layer, or both, depending on whether the inner display is operating in passthrough mode, mixed reality mode, or virtual reality mode. An ambient light sensor in the head-mounted device may be used to measure the brightness and color of ambient light. The white point of the face layer on the outer display may be adapted to the color of ambient light, whereas the white point of the abstract layer on the outer display may remain fixed. The white point of a display may be a correlated color temperature setting (e.g., measured in degrees Kelvin) that determines the warmth or coolness of displayed colors.

Abstract: A system and method are presented relating to emotion-based action recommendations. The present invention may include a recommender engine that analyzes several pieces of information and using artificial intelligence derived models, provides a course of action for a contact center agent and the probability and estimations behind the recommendation as a justification. System inputs include cost of the item or service being troubleshooted, estimated costs for different resolutions, cost of each escalation level of the interaction, history of previous interactions, agent costs, history of the current interaction, acoustic events and sentiment or primary detected emotions of the customer's transcript. The recommended course of action, rationale, and authorization can be provided as output. The system may record whether the agent followed the recommendation to improve further recommendations.

Abstract: In one disclosed method, a computing system receives a first request to download a first file to a client device. The computing system further sends, based at least in part on the first request, a first digest of the first file to the client device to enable the client device to compare the first digest with at least a second digest of a second file stored locally at the client device. The computing system further receives, after sending the first digest to the client device, a second request to refrain from downloading the first file to the client device.

Abstract: A system and method for enhancing online meeting creation. A disclosed method includes: receiving a meeting title from a meeting agent, the meeting agent configured to interface with a meeting tool configured to create an online meeting for a user; analyzing the meeting title to identify a set of matching records from a meeting records database; determining a list of recommended attendees based on the set of matching records; and returning the list of recommended attendees to the meeting agent.

Abstract: Anti-PVRIG and anti-TIGIT for use in methods of treatment based on the enhanced NK-cell using the antibodies for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: The present application provides a method and an apparatus of modulating a neuronal firing frequency at a brain functional site in a brain, the method comprising: generating an electromagnetic field with its power in variation at the preset modulating frequency; and arranging the generated electromagnetic field near the brain such that the brain functional site is within the range of the near field of the electromagnetic field, to polarize extracellular fluid at the brain functional site with the power of the electromagnetic field, such that a polarization density of the extracellular fluid varies at the preset modulating frequency and neurons in the extracellular fluid are modulated to fire at the preset modulating frequency.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to methods and systems for defining customizable data services through dynamic configuration of a dashboard using data feeds, analytics, and visual artifacts. A customizable dashboard is built using a basic framework, design time configuration, instantiation time binding, and runtime ad hoc data input. The customizable data service binds business logic in a data query service with a visual tile template that provides specific parameters for visualizations and/or queries. The visual tile templates are pluggable visual on multiple dashboard pages.
