Abstract: Computer program code receives input information for setup a video conference, and attributes of participants associated with one or more video endpoints in the video conference. The program code parses the input information to determine whether there are video data streams available for broadcast, and parameters in an access control file granting one or more of the participants a right to control which of the video data streams available for broadcast they view. The program code extracts parameters from the input information. The program code stores the parameters that are extracted as metadata. The program code compares the metadata with the attributes of the participants associated with the one or more video endpoints to determine matches. The program code requests a multipoint control unit to send one or more of the video data streams based on the access control file, criteria specified by the participants, and the matches determined.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for identifying collaborators is described. A command precursor associated with delivery of a voice command associated with an electronic meeting is received. An audio signal including the voice command is received. A portion of the audio signal is identified as representing the voice command, based upon, at least in part, receiving the command precursor. The voice command is interpreted. The interpreted voice command is caused to be executed.

Abstract: In an electronic system, a frequency modulator manages clock signals for electromagnetic interference (EMI) reduction. The illustrative frequency modulator comprises a core oscillator, and a clock divider coupled to the core oscillator that modulates frequency of the core oscillator and deterministically spreads clock spectral components of a digital clock signal whereby electromagnetic interference (EMI) is reduced. The frequency modulator further comprises a circuit coupled to the clock divider that receives the digital clock signal, combines the digital clock signal with a data bitstream for transmission across an isolation barrier, and resynchronizes to the digital clock signal.

Abstract: A signal isolator comprises an isolation barrier, a transmitter, a differentiator, and a recovery circuit. The transmitter is coupled to a first side of the isolation barrier and is configured to receive and convert an information signal to a differential signal that encodes information in the information signal in a single transition edge. The differentiator is coupled to a second side that is isolated from the first side of the isolation harrier and differentiates the differential signal. The recovery circuit is coupled to the differentiator and operates to recover an output information signal based on the information in the single transition edge.
