Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to augmentation for web conference participants. An augmentation rule set defining mappings between augmentations and participant characteristics can be received, where the augmentation rule set is implemented for a web conference to determine augmentations to apply onto participant video feeds within the web conference. A plurality of participants within the web conference can be identified. The web conference can be analyzed to determine participant characteristics of each participant of the plurality within the web conference. Augmentation can be applied on respective video feeds of each participant according to the augmentation rule set based on the determined characteristics of each participant.

Abstract: In an approach to resource monitoring and allocation recommendation, a computer determines a work activity for a risk assessment. A computer determines one or more resources assigned to the work activity. A computer determines one or more current activities associated with the one or more resources assigned to the work activity. Based on the one or more resources assigned to the work activity and on the one or more current activities associated with the one or more resources assigned to the work activity, a computer determines a confidence level associated with successful completion of the work activity. A computer determines the confidence level does not exceed a pre-defined threshold. A computer determines one or more resource scenarios to improve the confidence level. A computer ranks the one or more resource scenarios. A computer generates a resource allocation recommendation based on the ranked one or more resource scenarios.

Abstract: A method controls an alert indicator on a helmet. A physiological sensor and an accelerometer sensor in the helmet monitor a wearer of the helmet. A human observer subjectively detects that the wearer of the helmet is showing signs of an impaired cognitive state, and sends a signal/marker that marks a point in the sensor readings that the impaired cognitive state manifested itself. A subsequent series of sensor readings from the physiological and accelerometer sensors are taken at a later time. If this subsequent series of sensor readings matches the earlier sensor readings up to the point that the human observer subjectively detected the helmet wearer's impaired cognitive state, then an alert indicator is activated on the helmet, warning the wearer of the helmet of an impending recurrence of the impaired cognitive state for the wearer of the helmet.

Abstract: A calendar adjusting device adjusts an electronic calendar. A network interface provides a communication link between the calendar adjusting device and an electronic calendar server that serves an electronic calendar. The electronic calendar includes a calendar entry for a scheduled event, and the calendar entry is associated with metadata that describe a scheduled time and date for the scheduled event and a non-temporal attribute of the scheduled event. A user monitoring hardware monitors a cognitive state of a user of the electronic calendar. An electronic calendar modification logic generates and transmits, via the communication link between the calendar adjusting device and the electronic calendar server, a modification to the calendar entry based on the metadata and the user's cognitive state.

Abstract: Approaches are provided for identifying the origin of a vehicular impact and selectively exchanging data pertaining to the impact. An approach includes determining whether an impact to a vehicle exceeds a predetermined threshold. The approach further includes when the impact exceeds the predetermined threshold, sending a signal that includes impact information and identifier information stored in a persistent storage device. The approach further includes receiving signals from one or more other vehicles within a predetermined proximity of the vehicle. The approach further includes comparing impact information from the signals to the impact information stored in the persistent storage device. The approach further includes when the impact information from the signals matches the impact information stored in the persistent storage device within a tolerance threshold, storing the impact information and identifier information from the signals in the persistent storage device.

Abstract: Approaches for verifying a user's exposure to a commercial event are included. Various embodiments include a system having: at least one computing device configured to verify exposure of a user to a commercial event by performing actions including: prompting the user to provide an indication of exposure to the commercial event; obtaining the indication of exposure to the commercial event from the user; authenticating the indication of exposure obtained from the user; and crediting the user for exposure to the commercial event in response to the authenticating.

Abstract: A method guides evasive actions to avoid effects of a cognitive impairment state. A first buffer, which is communicatively coupled to at least one sensor on a wearable sensor device, is loaded with a first set of sensor readings. The wearable sensor device receives a first cognitive impairment state signal based on an observer of a wearer of the wearable sensor device observing an impairment to a cognitive state of the wearer of the wearable sensor device. Subsequently, a second buffer on the wearable sensor device initiates loading of a second set of sensor readings, and the first buffer and the second buffer are compared. In response to sensors readings from the first and second buffers matching, an alert is issued to the wearer of the wearable sensor device, thus prompting the wearer to take evasive steps to avoid a recurrence of the impairment.
