  • Patent number: 10439832
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing ad-hoc online meetings. A service client, when executed by a computing system, directs the computing system to at least detect an in-room discovery signal, identify a room from the in-room discovery signal, identify a session based on the room associated with the in-room discovery signal, and join the session.

  • Patent number: 10432676
    Abstract: Non-limiting examples disclosed herein describe processing capabilities for ad-hoc online meetings. In an implementation, an identifier is received that corresponds with a specific location. A proximity signal is received from one or more components associated with the specific location. The received proximity signal comprises one of: a modulated light signal, an audible sound, an inaudible sound and ambient noise. The identifier is validated based on a comparison of the proximity signal with a reference signal for the one or more components. A service identifier for a conferencing session is provided based on a validation of the identifier. In one example, a computing device is connected to the conference session based on receipt of a request that comprises the provided service identifier. In another example, the conference session is automatically transferred from a client computing device to a component associated with the specific location such as a room display device.

  • Patent number: 10323010
    Abstract: The present invention pertains generally to the field of chemical synthesis, and more particularly to methods of chemical synthesis which include the step of preparing a substituted 10H-phenothiazine-3,7-diamine compound of Formula (1) by a step of selective alkylation by reductive amination, in which the corresponding unsubstituted diamine of Formula (4) is reacted with aldehyde/ketone, under reductive amination conditions. The present invention also relates to such methods which incorporate additional subsequent and/or preceding steps, for example, to prepare compounds of Formulae (2) and (3) from compounds of Formula (1), and to prepare compounds of Formula (4) from, for example, compounds of Formulae (5), (6), (7), (8), and (9). Compounds of Formula (1), Formula (2), and Formula (3) are useful, for example, in the treatment of diseases of protein aggregation, such as Alzheimer's disease.

  • Patent number: 10296861
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance meeting technology. In an implementation, a meetings graph may be generated for a meeting between various participants in the meeting. An effectiveness of the meeting may be identified based at least in part on a comparison of the meetings graph to a model meetings graph for a model meeting. An indication of the effectiveness of the meeting may then be communicated to at least an application for surfacing in a user interface to the application.

  • Patent number: 9984443
    Abstract: A camera for polarimetric, multispectral imaging is described. Such cameras are used in photonics, computational imaging and multispectral imaging in which both multispectral and polarimetric sensing modalities are used simultaneously for detection, recognition and identification. The camera enables multiple spectral images to be recorded simultaneously using polarizing beamsplitters and mirrors to divide the image according polarimetric and spectral bands. These multiple, polarized images are recorded on a single focal plane array (FPA) simultaneously. An image processor allows for the resolution of the subsequent image to be improved.
