Abstract: A method and apparatus are for determining a medical biomarker indicative of a neurodegenerative disease. The method includes receiving motion data from a sensor held or mounted for rotation with a body part of the user during a repeated rotational motion of the body part. The motion data are provided relative to a frame of reference associated with the sensor. The motion data are processed to identify orientation in the frame of reference associated with the sensor of primary, secondary, and tertiary axes of rotation for the motion of the body part of the user, each of the primary, secondary and tertiary axes being mutually perpendicular to one another. A medical biomarker is extracted by analysing the rotational motion of the body part of the user about the primary, secondary and tertiary axes.

Abstract: A method and system for latency-driven multi-media redirection. Through multi-media redirection, multi-media content from one or more multi-media sources may be re-routed to an endpoint to be decoded and/or rendered thereon. This redirection of multi-media content diverges from the traditional approach of directing the multi-media content from the multi-media source(s) to an information technology environment to be decoded and/or rendered prior to delivery of the decoded/rendered multi-media content to an endpoint. Current criteria for employing multi-media redirection are many, however, fail to consider network latency as a potentially crucial factor in the decision process for enabling or disabling multi-media redirection. Accordingly, the disclosed method and system propose the automated enablement or disablement of multi-media redirection based on network latency analyses.

Abstract: The multiplicity of APIs that existing in a multi-cloud environment creates significant complexity for users. It can be unclear which API call should be made for a specific layer. Also, given the different API calls used by different cloud providers, they can be easily confused. Accordingly, embodiments help to reduce this complexity and simplify multi-cloud environments from a developer/user perspective. In one or more embodiments, an API with an error and its error message are captured and used as context-based information to suggest one or more recommendations to a user about how their API call should be made (e.g., to another API, to an alternative cloud provider, or by changing syntax).
