Abstract: System, method, and apparatus, for a digital assistant that provides automated supplemental information based on a detected knowledge gap or interest of the user. The system includes an eye tracking hardware component, having one or more sensors, and an eye tracking software component to detect eye movements of the user while reading information presented on the display and detect an eye movement event indicative of a knowledge gap or interest of the user. A UCAS Personal Knowledge Agent (PKA) is an artificial intelligence (AI) component is configured to provide real time supplemental information, or supplemental audio, to facilitate the user's understanding of the presented information upon detection of the eye movement event.

Abstract: A delegated environment manager for identifying and inventorying characteristics associated with user's delegated environments. The inventory of the characteristics associated with a particular delegated environment is stored for later retrieval. Upon receiving a request to recreate a previously stored delegated environment, the delegated environment manager retrieves the inventory of the characteristics associated with the requested delegated environment and compares that inventory of characteristics with an inventory of characteristics associated with a user's current delegated environment. Differences between the two inventories are identified and the delegated environment manager alters characteristics as necessary to recreate the previously stored delegated environment.

Abstract: A method and corresponding system for multicast provisioning of operating systems (OS) at reduced bandwidth. The method includes providing a computing device on a digital communications network. An OS image is stored in the computing device, with the image including data sets or chunks making up one or more phases of a system image. The method continues with associating a single multicast address with each of the data sets. The computing device broadcasts each of the data sets of the image along with the associated multicast address on the network as a repeating loop. The method includes sending a signal from the computing device to a set of nodes on the network to initiate a process for loading the stored image, and in response, operating the nodes to load a multicast installer that listens for the data sets and buffers received data packets in an image cache.
