Abstract: Technology is disclosed for programmatically determining, for a segment of a meeting recording, a user-specific adaptive playback speed, and generating a time-stretched segment playable at the adaptive playback speed. The adaptive playback speed is faster or slower than a default playback speed of the meeting recording. To determine the adaptive playback speed, this disclosure provides technologies to determine a playback data feature based on user-meeting data. The adaptive playback is generated based on the playback data feature. The segment is time-stretched to the adaptive playback speed to generate an updated meeting recording including the segment that is time-stretched and playable at the adaptive playback speed. In this manner, an updated meeting recording, specific to a user, and playable at an adaptive playback speed based on user-meeting data may reduce bandwidth associated with user's manually editing videos or rewinding playback, while improving user experience.

Abstract: A method of building a moving average histogram of photon times of arrival includes, for each time interval in first and second subsets of time intervals, latching a time reference corresponding to a time of receipt of an avalanche timing output signal of a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), and advancing a count stored at a memory address corresponding to the latched time reference. The memory address corresponds to a range of time references. The method further includes reading and clearing a first set of counts after the first subset of time intervals; phase-shifting the sequence of time references with respect to a set of memory addresses after the first subset of time intervals; reading and clearing a second set of counts after the second subset of time intervals; and building the moving average histogram using at least the first and second sets of counts.

Abstract: A cover system is disclosed that comprises at least one cover sheet having four edges; a plurality of flexible rafters, each of the rafters is slidably connected to at least one of two opposite edges of the four edges; and at least one roller provided on at least one of two other opposite edges of the four edges, wherein the roller is configured to rotate, and the cover sheet is configured to wrap around the roller and be released from the roller, depending on a direction of rotation of the roller.

Abstract: A system for health management for policy holders to reduce disability in a long term. The system includes an external data gatherer, a model builder, a filterer and a plan selector. The external data gatherer gathers data about a plurality of policy holders from at least two of: medical records, wearable sensors, questionnaires about lifestyles, direct observations by professionals, family and caregivers, and third-party data sources. The model builder builds a health outcome model on the gathered data to generate probabilities of health outcomes and uses previously determined impact coefficients generated to determine the need for long term care in a near term. The filterer filters the probabilities to generate risk factors for a particular policy holder. The plan selector combines the risk factors with the gathered data and current incentive options to generate a health improvement plan for the particular policy holder.

Abstract: A system for population health management to enable policy holders to defer long term care for the near term includes an external data gatherer, a model builder and an intervention determiner. The external data gatherer gathers data about a plurality of policy holders from at least two of medical records, direct observation, third party data sources, and questionnaires about lifestyles, family and caregivers. The model builder builds a model from at least one of scientifically based research and the gathered data and determines which of the policy holders are likely to claim for long term care in the near term. The intervention determiner determines, for a particular policy holder, at least one scientifically based intervention to improve a probability that the particular policy holder remain at home for another year.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a software-based privacy indicator for a camera and microphone that focuses not purely on hardware status (e.g., on or off), but on whether potentially private data is flowing to the system or an application. If based purely on hardware status, the indicator for an electronic device may be shown in scenarios where no data actually flows to the system or applications. The privacy indicator will be enabled if any camera or microphone data is relayed to the operating system or an application that is executed via the operating system. When the device uses the microphone and camera to capture environmental metadata about the surroundings of the device without providing any audio samples, images, or video frames to the system or an application, the privacy indicator will not be enabled.

Abstract: An online service may maintain or create data for a user, and a user may be allowed to exert control over how the data are used. In one example, there may be several categories of data, and the user may be able to specify who may use the data, and the purpose for which the data may be used. Additionally, a user may be able to see how many of his “friends” (or other contacts) have extended trust to a particular entity, which may aid the user in making a decision about whether to extend trust to that entity. User interfaces may be provided to allow users to specify how their data are to be used.
