Abstract: A system and method for arranging computerized graphical elements on a user interface, including: detecting attributes of a user in visual data (e.g., using machine learning based object and/or movement detection techniques), and arranging graphical elements within a graphical user interface (GUI) based on the detected attributes. In some embodiments, arranging graphical elements may include determining a size and/or a location within the GUI for graphical elements in order to accommodate accessibility needs of the user, including, e.g., height, motor control, dominant hand, whether the user is in a wheelchair, and the like. In some embodiments, arranging graphical elements may be performed without displacing a display, screen, or display presenting the GUI.

Abstract: Techniques of finding a meeting time involve recommending a meeting time based on attendee meeting history. Along these lines, a meeting scheduler accesses meeting logs that contain trends involving previous meetings to which attendees were invited. For example, such meeting logs may indicate whether an attendee accepted meeting invitations to meetings occurring at particular times during a workweek. Based on the accessed meeting logs, the meeting scheduler recommends a time at which to hold the meeting. For example, the meeting logs may indicate that an attendee declines invitations at certain times of the day, or that another attendee has flexibility during a time labeled as unavailable in the calendar. The meeting schedule then sends a message to the meeting organizer that contains the recommended time.

Abstract: A telemetry system is described in which a plurality of channels are coupled to a bus. A control subsystem controls the channels so that one of the channels presents to the bus during its designated time period a channel characteristic. The control subsystem interrogates in the analog domain each of the channels during its designated time period, and forms a signal representative of the channel characteristic. The control subsystem may combine one or more of the signals into a digital packet, and transmit the same via transceiver over a wireless network. The channels may be contained within a submersible enclosure and displaced at intervals along the bus, thereby forming an array for monitoring waterborne threats. The array may lie along an ocean floor, may be towed by a marine vehicle, or may suspended from a deployable buoy containing the control subsystem, transceiver, and a remote power source. The array may further comprise a defensive countermeasure deployable responsive to detecting a threat.

Abstract: A selectable width, burstable FIFO is described. A register memory stores x-bit and y-bit data. Each register of the register memory is y+1 bits wide. Y bits store x-bit and y-bit data and 1-bit tracks the data width within each register. A Burst Ready Logic means accepts an m-bit input to select a burst length from 2.sup.m possible burst lengths. Based on the m-bit input, the Burst Ready Logic outputs a signal indicating when the FIFO is burstable. The empty and full FIFO conditions are determined using a digital hysteresis. In one embodiment, the FIFO is used in an IBM-AT environment. Eight registers store 8-bit and 16-bit data. Each register is 17-bits wide so that 16-bits store 8-bit and 16-bit data. The remaining bit tracks whether the register contains 8-bit or 16-bit data. In this embodiment, the Burst Ready Logic accepts a 2-bit input to select from possible burst lengths of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes.

Abstract: The present invention is a network which automates the operation of the IBM AT task file registers used in hard disk drives and hard disk controller systems that are compatible with the IBM AT BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The present invention provides registers that interface between the disk controller circuit and the IBM AT computer. The network utilizes four 8-bit digital upcounters, one 4-bit digital upcounter, an 8-bit data register and a 4-bit data register. These counters indicate the physical address of the sector of data being transferred and are incremented or reloaded as required as each sector of data is transferred. The present invention employs the 8-bit data register, the maximum sector register, to hold the number of sectors and the 4-bit register, the maximum head register, to hold the number of heads on the disk drive.
