Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided in an exemplary embodiment and may include receiving a device status feed and receiving a content impression feed via a processor. The device status feed includes device status elements associated with a display device and the content impression feed includes content impression elements associated with a content impression of a tracked content. The computer-implemented method further includes matching, via the processor, the content impression to the display device by identifiers in the device status feed and the content impression feed. The computer-implemented method further includes detecting, via the processor, a continuous play event in response to the display device being powered off or not tuned to the input connected to the content player device at or near the time associated with the content impression.

Abstract: A method and system for capturing missed communications is provided. An enhanced real-time communication system receives a communication from an initiating participant for a receiving participant that is not available. The enhanced real-time communication system detects that the receiving participant missed the received communication from the initiating participant. Upon detecting that the receiving participant missed the communication, the enhanced real-time communication system stores the missed communication for later retrieval by the receiving participant.

Abstract: Jobs are scheduled per user across tenants in a multi-tenant environment. When a tenant is serviced, scheduling information is stored that indicates a servicing time of a user that remains unserviced after servicing the tenant. Each time a scheduler begins to schedule the servicing of tenants it obtains the list of the tenants. The scheduler sorts the tenants using the servicing information obtained from each of the tenants. The tenant that has the oldest unserviced user is serviced first. The scheduler starts servicing the first tenant in the sorted list and services as many jobs for as many users for that tenant based on the available processing resources. When the limit of servicing users for the tenant is reached and one or more users remain unserviced, the time for an unserviced user is stored in the servicing information.

Abstract: An installation for welding top plugs on to nuclear fuel rods comprising a device for axially holding said rod and setting it in rotation and a weld chamber, where said device comprises a gripper and means to close the gripper on the rod, where said means comprise a pusher to apply an axial force on to the gripper, a linear actuator of axis parallel to the lengthways axis of the device, a yoke translationally secured to said pusher, and able to rotate freely around a fixed axis orthogonal to the lengthways axis which is not secant with the latter, where said yoke is connected and able to pivot relative to the linear actuator around a fixed axis parallel to the orthogonal axis such that the linear actuator causes the yoke to rotate around the first orthogonal axis and causes the pusher to slide, closing the gripper on the rod.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and software for facilitating conference sessions. In particular, implementations disclosed herein pertain to engaging session elements using both a primary identifier and a secondary identifier included in a request to join a user to a session. A primary session element may be engaged using the primary identifier while a secondary session element may be engaged using the secondary identifier.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for monitoring a participant's connection to a conference and automatically reconnecting the participant if the participant is inadvertently disconnected. A conference proxy module receives a request from a participant identifying a conference to join and an endpoint of the participant to connect to the conference. Upon receiving the request, the conference proxy module joins the conference on behalf of the participant and instructs the conferencing service to establish a connection with the identified endpoint. The conference proxy module then monitors the status of the connection with the participant's endpoint, and if the endpoint is unintentionally disconnected, the conference proxy module instructs the conferencing service to reconnect the endpoint to the conference.

Abstract: A method for transferring a telephone call from a client computer to a second electronic device includes establishing a connection for a telephone call between the client computer and a first electronic device, and sending a request to a server computer to transfer the telephone call from the client computer to the second electronic device, the client computer and the second electronic device having the same user, the request initiating a consultation call to the second electronic device. The method also includes receiving a response from the server computer that the second electronic device has accepted the telephone call, and replacing the client computer with the second electronic device as a party in the telephone call with the first electronic device, the continuity of the telephone call being maintained at the first electronic device during the time that the client computer is replaced with the second electronic device.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for enabling subscribers of an enhanced communication system to switch endpoints during a conversation, add or remove modalities, invite new participants while continuing the conversation seamlessly. Active endpoints associated with a participant in a conversation may publish their states to a managing server and become aware of a status of the ongoing conversation. Subsequently, the participants may seamlessly switch to another endpoint and continue the conversation using the other endpoint.

Abstract: A facility is described for providing contextual information automatically. In various embodiments, the facility receives an indication to start a conversation, automatically determines an identification for an item indicated by the indication, encodes the identification in a message, and sends the message so that a recipient of the message can locate the item. The facility can include a responder component and an initiator component. The initiator component can receive an identification for contextual information and an identification of the responder, initiate a conversation with the responder's computing device, and automatically encode the received indication of the contextual information in a message that it sends to the responder component so that the responder component can cause a link to the contextual information to be provided that, when selected, causes an application executing on the responder's computing device to load the contextual information.

Abstract: A notification system, upon receiving an indication of an event, determines whether the user has requested to suppress event notifications. When the user has requested to suppress event notifications, the notification system suppresses the event notification by not notifying the user of the event. When the user has not requested to suppress event notifications, the notification system infers whether the user wants to suppress event notifications. When the notification system infers that the user does not want to suppress event notifications, the notification system provides to the user a normal event notification. When the notification system infers that the user does want to suppress event notifications, the notification system provides to the user a modified event notification.

Abstract: A real-time communication system receives rich application content from a user. The real-time communication system detects that the user wants to send a message containing the application content, and determines the application that produced the content. For example, if the content was pasted using the operating system clipboard, then the pasted content may contain information indicating the application that produced it. Then the real-time communication system creates a real-time communication containing the application content and identifying the application that produced the content. For example, the real-time communication may be structured as XML that contains the application content and an application identifier. Finally, the real-time communication system sends the real-time communication to the receiving participant.
