Abstract: A system of altering an audio signal presented to a user may include an input configured to receive data indicating a status of an environment outside of an audio device, where the audio device is configured to present an audio signal to a user. The system may also include a detection unit configured to detect a condition based on the received data and an audio altering unit configured to direct altering of the audio signal presented to the user based on the detection of the condition.

Abstract: Aspects may include a method of designing a system-on-chip. The method may include receiving multiple processing modules, each representing in software one of multiple processing units of a system-on-chip. The method may further include modeling communications from one or more of the multiple processing modules as accesses to memory. The method may further include generating a coherent memory module associated with the multiple processing modules based on modeling the communications from the one or more of the multiple processing modules as accesses to memory. The coherent memory module may represent in software a coherent memory associated with the multiple processing units.

Abstract: An example embodiment includes a distributed file management system. The distributed file management system includes a central storage device that is communicatively coupled to data repositories configured to store one or more files. The central storage device includes a processor and a tangible computer-readable storage medium. The tangible computer-readable storage medium is communicatively coupled to the processor and has computer-executable instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving file access requests from the data repositories. The operations also include transmitting location information of files requested in the file access requests. The location information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses of the data repositories on which the files are stored.

Abstract: A system of automatically changing a viewing angle of a display device based on a determination of content confidentiality includes a display device, an auditing application, and a privacy filter control. The auditing application is configured to analyze content to be displayed on the display device for confidentiality indicators. The privacy filter control is configured to automatically change a current viewing angle of the display device from a first viewing angle to a second viewing angle that is less than the first viewing angle when the content includes at least one confidentiality indicator and the current viewing angle of the display device is the first viewing angle.

Abstract: A method and system for implementing rotating register files with bit expansion support may enable a plurality of register pointers, each with a respective increment value, to be implemented in a register file of a processor. The register pointers may correspond to different regions of the register file. Each region of the register file may have a different size.

Abstract: Methods and systems for gastronomy payment using geotagging and mobile devices may enable a user to browse and select restaurants using a mobile device, such as a smartphone. Menu items for a selected restaurant may be viewed and ordered after the user provides payment information to a gastronomy payment system, including authorization to charge the user for ordered menu items. The user may monitor a status of the order at the selected restaurant, which may receive a credit for the order from the gastronomy payment system. The gastronomy payment system may automatically charge the user for the order upon detecting that the user is no longer located at the restaurant. The gastronomy payment system may include a recommendation engine for recommending menu items based on user preferences or a history of ordered menu items.

Abstract: Methods and systems for bus boarding use geotags that are generated when a mobile device of a bus passenger passes in proximity to embark gates and disembark gates installed in buses of a bus system. The mobile device may be registered with a customer information database of the bus system and may provide a bus passenger identifier to identify the bus passenger at a time and a location when embark geotags and disembark geotags for a bus trip are generated. The embark and disembark geotags may be used to charge the bus passenger for the bus trip.

Abstract: An embodiment includes a method for detecting a potential floating-point error in an addition or a subtraction instruction included in an operation. The method may include identifying a first operand and a second operand. The first operand and the second operand may be configured to be manipulated during execution of the instruction. The method may include copying a first exponent of the first operand to a first comparison register. The method may also include copying a second exponent of the second operand to a second comparison register. The method may further include comparing the first exponent in the first comparison register to the second exponent in the second comparison register. Based on the comparison, a determination may be made whether the instruction includes a potential floating-point error when executing the instruction using the first operand and the second operand formatted according to a first precision.

Abstract: A method of performing a context based search associated with a digital document may include determining a contextual keyword associated with the digital document.
