  • Patent number: 11937014
    Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to permit a first device to change one or more settings that are related to a video conference and that are associated with a second device's outbound stream of one or more of audio and video as part of the video conference. The instructions may also be executable to receive first input to change the one or more settings, where the first input may be instigated at the first device. Based on permitting the first device to change the one or more settings and based on receipt of the first input to change the one or more settings, the instructions may then be executable to change the one or more settings.

  • Publication number: 20240086969
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, input from a user to display at least one piece of visual media comprising a plurality of media elements; identifying, using the media characterization system, at least one characteristic of the user; and dynamically changing, utilizing the media characterization system, at least one of the plurality of media elements to another media element option, wherein the another media element option is correlated to the user based upon the at least one characteristic. Other aspects are claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20240089590
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer program products that improve production value of a video stream are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to receive, from a camera, a signal including data for an environment a portion of which is within a field of view of the camera and the data represents a set of attributes related to a current situation of the environment. The code is further executable by the processor to analyze the data to determine one or more improvements for the attribute(s) related to the current situation of the environment that, after implementation, would increase a production value of a video stream of the current situation of the environment and notify a user of the determination. Methods and computer program products that include and/or perform the operations and/or functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240073173
    Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to determine a first context and to determine that a threshold number of messages of a message chain have been received within a threshold amount of time. Based on the first context and the threshold number of messages being received within the threshold amount of time, the instructions are executable to delay presenting at least one notification regarding one or more messages of the message chain.

  • Patent number: 8734714
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for recovering rare earth particulate material from an assembly comprising a rare earth magnet and comprises the steps of exposing the assembly to hydrogen gas to effect hydrogen decrepitation of the rare earth magnet to produce a rare earth particulate material, and separating the rare earth particulate material from the rest of the assembly. The invention also resides in an apparatus for separating rare earth particulate material from an assembly comprising a rare earth magnet. The apparatus comprises a reaction vessel having an opening which can be closed to form a gas-tight seal, a separation means for separating the rare earth particulate material from the assembly, and a collection means for collecting the rare earth particulate material. The reaction vessel is connected to a vacuum pump and a gas control system, and the gas control system controls the supply of hydrogen gas to the reaction vessel.

  • Publication number: 20070012264
    Abstract: Process to use water, methyl alcohol, and baking soda to make hydrogen and oxygen to increase fuel mileage on gasoline, diesel and LP gas engines using the process generally known as “Electrolysis” with many modifications. A device and method for producing hydrogen and oxygen gases from Water Solutions and simultaneously using the gases produced to supplement fuels used to operate the vehicle or engine. The solution used in the Electrolytic container is water and sodium bicarbonate [baking soda]. The hydrogen and oxygen-producing device is powered by as many as 5,500 amperes [DC or AC], generator or alternator, using the vehicle engine alternator or generator to produce the current to power the electrolytic cell. The electrolytic container is kept at a constant solution level. The water solution temperature may be controlled by either a low-pressure air conditioning line, a water-cooling line with a thermostatic control valve, on-off temperature control switch or water-cooling fins.
