Abstract: The invention is related to security systems and methods for proactively informing a user about an artifact associated with a clickable object on a user interface with which the user is interacting, where such information is provided to the user prior to selection of the clickable object. The information includes a safety assessment of the clickable object, details about the underlying artifact, such as the contents of an archive file, and general information helpful in assisting the user with making a decision as to whether to select the clickable object.

Abstract: Among other things, we describe identifying, in first data available to a first user and not available to a second user, and in second data available to the second user not available to the first user, data pertaining to a common topic, and enabling the first user and the second user to communicate about the common topic based on the identification.

Abstract: Among other things, from content of a communication composed by a user, a strategy is inferred for selecting target information related to the content. The strategy is used to select target information from a body of target information. And information about the selected target information is reported to the user.

Abstract: The invention provides a method, system, and program product for authenticating a first individual for communication with a second individual. In one embodiment, the invention includes receiving a first communication from the first individual via a first communication medium, rejecting the first communication, providing the first individual with information for communicating with the second individual via a second communication medium, receiving a second communication from the first individual via the second communication medium, and authenticating the first individual for communication with the second individual via at least one of the first and second communication medium.

Abstract: Image transforming vision enhancement device that enhances vision by transforming images provided by one or more cameras into modified images projected on one or more displays. The system may be embedded in glasses, contact lenses, binoculars, or other vision devices, in computer screens, or in components of moving vehicles. Image transformations may include modifying colors to assist colorblind users or to highlight color ranges, mapping invisible frequencies into visible colors, adding labels or graphics, and generating time-varying images with flashing or changing features. Images from multiple cameras may be combined, providing users with panoramic vision from a single device. Low light vision may be enhanced, and excessive glare may be attenuated. The system may magnify images with a variable magnification. User interfaces may be provided to configure and customize the image transformations.

Abstract: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes receiving information via a user interface provided on a display of a user device from a first user associated with a pre-determined user group. The information includes an identification of a) a source language and b) a target language to which translation from the source language is requested. The method also includes determining that one or more second users of the pre-determined user group is associated with the source language and associated with the target language. This can be determined based on accessing a data repository that stores language capabilities of users within the pre-determined user group, wherein the language capabilities are determined automatically based on mining a corpus of electronic documents associated with the pre-determined user group. An identification of the one or more second users can be displayed on the user interface.
