Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to providing transition-related assistance during a presentation. One example provides a method comprising, during a rehearsal of a presentation, receiving content of the presentation. Based on the content received, a transition within the presentation is determined via a machine learning model. During a performance of the presentation, the transition is automatically enacted.

Abstract: In a device including a processor and a memory, the memory includes executable instructions that cause the processor to control the device to perform functions of receiving a user input to initiate a conversation session for generating an outline for a writing; generating a voice output asking a question regarding the writing; receiving a voice input from the user responding to the voice output; identifying, based on the received voice input, content of the voice input responding to the voice output; repeating, until a predetermined condition is met, the steps of generating the voice output, receiving the voice input, and identifying the content of the voice input, wherein the question asked via each voice output is generated in response to the content of the voice input responding to the preceding voice output; and generating, based on the content of the voice inputs, the outline for the writing.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention may take the form of a method and a system for performance enhancing proxy (PEP). A PEP system may include a configuration of software components and hardware devices to increase the performance of a two-way satellite broadband service. The PEP system may include one or more embodiments to reduce the time necessary for users to transmit and receive data provided through a communication network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for resolving domain name services (DNS) queries for address information about hosts on a network. The queries are posited from remote users across a satellite or other remote link to a network, and are monitored as they pass through a central node logically present between the remote link and the network. A list of statistically significant hosts on the network is maintained and transmitted from the central node to the plurality of remote users across the remote link. By providing the remote nodes with a current list of popular hosts and associated address information, subsequent domain name services queries placed for the statistically significant hosts may be resolved without communicating across the remote link.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for resolving domain name services (DNS) queries for address information about hosts on a network. The queries are posited from remote users across a satellite or other remote link to a network. In response to a domain name services request from the client containing a name of the server, a placeholder address is generated and provided in response to the client. After a subsequent request for a connection to the server is received, the name of the server is re-associated with the placeholder address and the connection request containing the proper host name is forwarded across the data link. A hub processor receives the request for connection, resolves the name of the server to an address on the network, and establishes a connection between the client and the server using the address on the network.
