  • Patent number: 9531822
    Abstract: Embodiments include identifying a plurality of communication sessions, each of the plurality of communication sessions having multiple participants. Embodiments may also include applying at least one parameter to each of the communication sessions and determining a non-adjusted value for the at least one parameter for each of the communication sessions. Embodiments may further include determining whether the at least one parameter has been assigned a predetermined weight adjustment. If the at least one parameter has been assigned a weight adjustment, adjusting the value for the at least one parameter based upon the predetermined weight assigned to each of the at least one parameter. Embodiments may include generating a combined value for each of the communication sessions based upon, at least in part, one or more of the non-adjusted value and the adjusted value and ranking each of the communication sessions based upon, at least in part, the combined value.

  • Patent number: 8984558
    Abstract: Embodiments include storing, using one or more computing devices, at least one image associated with each of a plurality of videos. Embodiments may also include transmitting instructions configured to display a plurality of video interfaces, each of the plurality of video interfaces configured to display an initial image of one of the plurality of videos at a first time, the initial image being different at each of the plurality of video interfaces. Embodiments may also include allowing a first transition from a display of the initial image at the first time to a display of a second image at a second time at one of the plurality of video interfaces. Embodiments may further include allowing a second transition from a display of the initial image at the second time to a display of a third image at a third time at a second of the plurality of video interfaces.

  • Patent number: 8873028
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for improving strength of thin cover glass for electronic devices are disclosed. Optical coherence tomography analysis may reveal fine details of a residual stress profile within chemically strengthened cover glass. One or more parameters of chemical strengthening treatments may be adjusted, based upon the analysis of the residual stress profile.
