Abstract: Disclosed herein are example embodiments for multi-modality communications. By way of example but not limitation, a local user may interact with a local communication device via a local communication modality for a given communication, and a remote user may interact with a remote communication device via a remote communication modality for the given communication.

Abstract: A computationally-implemented method comprises obtaining at least a portion of data from a data source, determining a content of the data, determining an acceptability of an effect of content of the data at least in part via at least two virtual machine representations of at least a part of a real machine having at least one end-user specified preference, at least one of the at least two virtual machine representations operating at least in part on an individual core of a multi-core system, and displaying at least one data display option based on the determining an acceptability of a content of the data.

Abstract: A method and system provides for the use of credit arrangements in simulated environments. A user can participate in credit transactions involving purchases of virtual products, virtual services, and virtual items of value. Feedback is provided to the user regarding results of the credit transactions. In some embodiments multiple users can make simulated purchases or incur simulated credit obligations that are posted to virtual accounts, and the multiple users can also make simulated compensation against balances due or obligations owed for said virtual accounts. The user is also provided with an opportunity of engaging in real-world financial transactions related to the virtual credit arrangement. In some implementations of the system and method, multiple players at different locations can use virtual charge accounts and/or real world financial accounts in connection with arranging or resolving a virtual credit transaction.

Abstract: In certain aspects, designating an attribute of at least one shared image at least partially with a designating shared image device that can be utilized to capture an image with at least one capturing shared image device. In other aspects, synchronizing a capturing shared image device to a sharing session in a manner that at least partially allows conveying between the capturing shared image device with at least another shared image device at least some shared images captured during the sharing session.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems that may be used for detection of one or more pathogens and determining one or more agents in response to pathogen detection.

Abstract: A technique includes obtaining an operational capacity of an imaging device. The technique can also include estimating one or more operational resources to perform an image transformation that estimates whether the imaging device has adequate operational capacity to transform one or more images.

Abstract: A method and system provides arrangements creating a relationship between a real-world entity and a virtual world environment. A participant or player can participate in various virtual world experiences including activities, settings, events, purchases, sales and diverse transactions to acquire virtual products, virtual services, and/or virtual items of value. Feedback may be provided and records kept regarding the virtual world participation. In some circumstances, multiple persons can participate as a group or participate as individuals in the virtual world environment. Some embodiments provide an oversight procedure that enables a supervisory entity to exercise direct or indirect control over certain virtual world aspects of a participant or player. In some implementations the oversight procedure is at least partially based on an attribute related to the participant or player.

Abstract: A classification method and system for possible content alteration of a media work may include criteria regarding content that is feasible for alteration. Such criteria may be maintained in records that are accessible to an interested party. Some embodiments may include a record of primary authorization rights applicable to a possible content alteration. A further embodiment feature may include a record of secondary authorization rights applicable to substitute altered content incorporated in a derivative version. Various systems and methods may be used to incorporate substitute content in a derivative version of the media work in compliance with applicable modification guidelines. In some instances substitute promotional content may have some association with a real-world topic or real-world entity or real-world person.

Abstract: Methods and systems for sterilizing one or more areas or one or more portions of one or more areas are described. In some embodiments, the methods and systems can be used to sterilize one or more areas or one or more portions of one or more areas through use of sterilizing radiation. In some embodiments, the methods and systems can be utilized so that objects, such as humans, that are within one or more areas or one or more portions of one or more areas are not substantially irradiated with sterilizing radiation.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed that provide a customized technique for marking medication and other health-related products with a visual identifier that includes a recognizable symbolic aspect to facilitate proper administration of a substance dosage to designated patent. Display implementations of the visual identifier may be incorporated in various product packaging components. A possible supplemental visual identifier may be incorporated in the product packaging components to suggest recommended usage aspects of the substance dosage.
