  • Patent number: 10999333
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) initiating a web conferencing session between a host and a client, by the client receiving a presentation and transmitting the presentation to a semantic engine, wherein the semantic engine performs an automatic machine learning session to generate a presentation concepts list comprising concepts relevant to the presentation, and progressively displaying the presentation in a thin client application on the client. The processor(s) monitors on the client, during the web conferencing session, activities executed on the client and extracts web concepts related to the activities executed on the client. The processor(s) determines an interest level of a user of the client in the presentation, based on determining a presence or absence of a relationship of each web concept to one or more of the concepts relevant to the presentation and displays the interest level in a graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 10386985
    Abstract: A method for a mapping of user interfaces includes providing a mapping description between first data elements of a first user interface and second data elements of a second user interface, receiving input events via the first user interface, and intercepting a communication between the first user interface and an application by an interface mapper. The method also includes aggregating a series of the received input events to a first user interface pattern, transforming the first user interface pattern to a second user interface pattern based on the mapping description, and rendering the second user interface pattern in a second user interface in parallel to rendering the first user interface pattern in the first user such that both user interfaces are visible at the same time.

  • Patent number: 10273680
    Abstract: A sliding bearing, arranged for supporting civil or structural engineering works, such as for example bridges or buildings, seismically isolated or not, where the bearing comprises A) a base (3) and an upper support (5); B) a sliding element (7, 7?) interposed between the base (3) and the upper support, and against which the base (3) and the upper support rest. The sliding element (7, 7?) comprises at least one layer (11, 11?, 11?, 11III) made of a sliding material (9) comprising in turn B.1) a content by weight equal to or greater than 50% wt of one or more fluorinated polymers; B.2 a content by weight comprised between 1-20% wt of boron nitride in hexagonal form. The mechanical properties of the sliding material (9) for use as a structural bearing or an anti-seismic isolator, are less sensitive to a temperature and environmental humidity with respect to known sliding materials.

  • Patent number: 8442961
    Abstract: A solution is proposed for facilitating accessing resources of a data processing system with distributed architecture by a data processing entity of the system (with each resource that is accessible via a corresponding address). A set of bookmarks are provided for corresponding resources. Each bookmark is associated with a stored address of the corresponding resource—for accessing the corresponding resource in response to a selection of the bookmark. In the solution according to an embodiment of the invention, a signature identifying the corresponding resource is associated with each bookmark. Each bookmark is updated by verifying accessibility of the resource at the stored address matches the signature. The resource matching the signature is then located via a search engine in response to the non-accessibility of the resource. It is then possible to replace the stored address with a new address of the located resource.

  • Publication number: 20080060129
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) for the vibration of a cot (2), a cradle, or the like includes a vibration unit (3), which can be applied to the cot (2) by a removable coupling (16); a pair of elastic supports (5), which can be applied to the ends of a pair of respective legs (2?) of the cot (2); and a vibrators (6) located in the vibration unit (3), which are designed to cause the vibration unit (6) to vibrate. The movement caused by the vibrator (6) being transmitted by the vibration unit (3) to the cot (2) and to the pair of elastic supports (5), generating a composite oscillatory movement deriving from the sum of the oscillations of the cot (2) and of the ones transmitted to the elastic supports (5); the apparatus (1) also includes an activator and controller (7, 10) capable of interacting with the vibration unit (6), enabling activation thereof.
