Abstract: A device includes a memory including instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to determine, based on eye tracking data, that a clinician gazes at a sub-section of a display for more than a threshold amount of time during a first time period of a medical procedure, where the display displays video of the medical procedure according to a video signal. The processor executes the instructions to identify a block of the video signal that corresponds the first time period, segment a selected frame in the block of the video signal into a plurality of sub-regions, perform further processing on the plurality of sub-regions, and automatically identify an object of interest within the selected frame based on the further processing.

Abstract: A system that allows a claim by a registrant as to the number of occupants traveling in a vehicle over a section of highway with a high occupancy vehicle incentive program in place to be transmitted. The registrant is identified by a registrant identifier. The claim about occupancy is optionally visually displayed as the vehicle traverses the highway. The identification of the registrant making the claim is captured by a plurality of reading devices along the highway and transferred to a central processing system. That system determines if a qualified ride-sharing event has occurred, and if so it will then provide for distribution of the program incentives to the registered individual(s).

Abstract: An improved technique of managing a multiparty conference of a digital domain such as the Internet is disclosed. A party may invite other party(ies) to split the conference into two conferences. Parties invited establish communications with all other invited parties to create the second conference. Also, an improved technique for preventing collisions of messages in a multiparty conference of a digital domain such as the Internet is disclosed. A deference algorithm is provided that prioritizes messages.

Abstract: An improved technique of managing a multiparty conference of a digital domain such as the Internet is disclosed. As parties are added to the conference, the original conference member adding such parties is kept apprised of the status of the addition. Moreover, a joining member attempts to establish communications with all of the present conference members identified in an original invite message from one of the conference members. If some of the conference members subsequently drop out of the conference, overhead is minimized by allowing each of those dropped-out conference members to advise the joining member of the same.
