  • Publication number: 20220309466
    Abstract: An approach to detecting a sensitive expression during a meeting and alerting a meeting attendee producing the sensitive expression. The approach can retrieve a list of meeting attendees from a meeting scheduler database. The approach can retrieve societal data associated with the list of meeting attendees. The approach can capture audio and/or video of the meeting attendees during the meeting. The approach can detect a sensitive expression by a meeting attendee based on an analysis of the societal data and the audio and or video of the meeting. The approach can send an alert to the meeting attendee conducting the sensitive expression to mitigate further conduct.

  • Patent number: 9905261
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a data storage system includes a source media library configured to send a message to a destination media library when a media cartridge from the source media library is sent to the destination media library using a media mobility unit (MMU), and/or a destination media library configured to receive a message from a source media library when a media cartridge from the source media library is sent to the destination media library using a MMU. In another embodiment, a method for transporting a media cartridge includes receiving one or more media cartridges from a source media library, storing the media cartridge(s) in a holding portion of a media mobility unit, sensing at least an approximate location of the media mobility unit, transporting the media cartridge(s) to a destination library; and transferring the media cartridge(s) from the MMU to the destination media library.

  • Patent number: 9586758
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a media mobility unit includes a media cartridge holding portion configured to simultaneously store multiple media cartridges, a sensing mechanism for sensing at least an approximate location of the holding portion in relation to other objects, a drive mechanism for moving the holding portion from a source media library to a destination media library, and a power source electrically coupled to the sensing mechanism and/or the drive mechanism for providing current to the at least one of the drive mechanism and the sensing mechanism. In another embodiment, a method for transporting a media cartridge includes receiving one or more media cartridges from a source media library, storing the one or more media cartridges in a holding portion of a media mobility unit, sensing at least an approximate location of the media mobility unit, and transporting the one or more media cartridges to a destination library.

  • Publication number: 20080313646
    Abstract: A system and method may include a first storage device supporting a first set of functions and a second storage device supporting a second set of functions different from the first set of functions. The first and second storage devices may be configured to provide a common interface to enable discovery of the first and second sets by invoking a procedure call common to the first and second storage devices. An application, which may initially be unaware of the first and second sets, may be configured to invoke the procedure call and thereby discover the first and second sets, which may be provided as XML documents. The application may be further configured to communicate with the first storage device using the first set of functions, and communicate with the second storage device using the second set of functions using the information discovered by invoking the procedure call.
