Abstract: An email system detects a user interaction to interact with a social media application, within the email system. The email system accesses a social media component that renders a user interface from the social media system and detects interactions with the user interface to generate content for the social media application. The social media component calls the social media application, with the content, and provides a response indicating that the content has been sent to the social media application.

Abstract: A messaging system identifies a received message as a notification message from a conversation system in a media application. The messaging system obtains rendering information to render a current state of the conversation thread represented by the message. The message system renders the current state of the followed conversation thread, with actuators that provide interactive functionality allowing the user to interact with the conversation thread, in the message viewer of the user's messaging system.

Abstract: Techniques of relevant content surfacing in a computer productivity platform are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at an email server of the computer productivity platform, an email having a message body containing content and determining whether the content of the email contains a request to or a commitment by the user. In response to determining that the content of the email contains a request to or a commitment, inserting metadata containing one or more properties of the request or commitment into the email, the metadata. Then, when viewing of the content of the email by the user is detected, the computer productivity platform is queried for additional content using the properties of the request or commitment as keywords. The additional content is then surfaced to the user as being related to the content in the message body of the email.

Abstract: A system and method transcodes an input video bit stream having a first encoding profile into an output video bit stream having a second encoding profile. The system includes a first module (302) and a second module (306). The system further includes a memory module (304). The first module (302) decodes the input video bit stream for generating pixel data and macroblock specifications. The second module (306) encodes the pixel data and the macroblock specifications for constructing the output video bit stream. The memory module (304) includes a first buffer module and a second buffer module. The first buffer module stores the pixel data and the second buffer module stores the macroblock specifications.

Abstract: An embodiment relates to a decoder for decoding CABAC encoded video data in real time for HDTV applications. The decoder comprises a binary arithmetic decoder block for converting an input bit stream into a bin string, a context memory for storing a plurality of context values, and a plurality of finite state machines. Each of the finite state machines is adapted for decoding a particular one of the H.264 syntax elements by providing the binary arithmetic decoder block with an index of the relevant context value within the context memory and by converting the resulting bin stream into a value of the current syntax element. In this manner, a performance of one bin per cycle may be achieved.

Abstract: Systems and methods are for implementing a NSV2SV converter that converts a non-scalable video signal to a scalable video signal. In an implementation, a non-scalable video signal encoded in H.264/AVC standard is decoded and segmented into spatial data and motion data. The spatial data is resized into a desired resolution by down-sampling the spatial data. The motion data is also resized in every layer, except in the top layer, of a scalable video coding (SVC) encoder by using an appropriate measure. Further, the motion data is refined based on the resized spatial data in every layer of the SVC encoder. The refined motion data and the down-sampled spatial data are then transformed and entropy encoded in the SVC standard in every layer. The SVC encoded output from every layer is multiplexed to produce a scalable video signal.
