Abstract: A food intake control method, system, and computer program product, includes detecting types of food available to a user, categorizing a list of the types of food available to the user based on a harm of a type of food to the user, and administering a nudge to the user to assist the user in avoiding a type of food having the harm.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automated replacement of components in a datacenter. A robot is instructed to follow a route to replace parts within a datacenter. Embodiments include predicting a failure rate for a plurality of computer components within a datacenter. A failure time is then predicted for the computer components based on the corresponding failure rate. A route is created that allows the robot to visit the one or more racks containing the computer components that need to be replaced. The robot then replaces the components that require replacing. In this way, datacenter efficiency is improved and operating costs are reduced.

Abstract: Planning cell site handoffs using a navigation route. The navigation route is compared to the location of cell sites to predict the arrival time of a mobile device into each cell. Cell sites are selected based on the navigation route and user activity. Handoff between cells sites are scheduled in advance based on the navigation route.

Abstract: Embodiments for media access policy and control management by one or more processors. A user is identified using biometric data to enable enforcement of one or more media policies for controlling access to media content for one or more types of computing devices. The one or more media policies may be incrementally applied over a predetermined period of time according to a resistance factor of the user to the one or more media policies for controlling access to media content for each of the one or more types of computing devices.

Abstract: System, method and computer program product for extending mobile device cellular carrier network coverage using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with telecommunications devices to act as temporary mobile device cellular network towers.

Abstract: Embodiments include storing of applications for a mobile device in a cloud storage system. Aspects include monitoring a usage of an application installed on a mobile device and determining based on the usage of the application whether the application is a candidate for storage in the cloud storage system. Based on a determination that the application is the candidate for storage in the cloud storage system, aspects include transmitting at least a portion of the application to the cloud storage system. Aspects also include monitoring a usage of the mobile device and a context of the mobile device and responsively determining, that a local copy of the application is required by the mobile device. Aspects include downloading the at least a portion of the application from the cloud storage system based on determining that the local copy of the application is required by the mobile device.

Abstract: Embodiments include peer-to-peer ad hoc network having a group having a plurality of members, each of the plurality of members comprising a locating device, wherein the plurality of members are configured to detect an absence of one of the plurality of members from the group. The system also includes a location server configured to communicate with the locating device of at least one of the plurality of members and a supervisor device configured to receive an alert from the location server, wherein the alert is generated by the location server in response to a detection of the absence of one of the plurality of members from the group.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for schedule management are described. Previously scheduled and proposed events for a user are examined to determine if multiple events occupy the same time period, and the presence of such multiple events is identified as a conflict affecting the time period. A severity value is determined for each time period affected by such multiple events, with the determination suitably employing a recursive function based at least in part on a number of conflicting events and their severities. Conflict and conflict severity information may be presented to users in the form of a display indicating relative severities of conflicts, or alerts having characteristics based at least in part on conflict severity.
