Abstract: In the optical device, a ring-resonator modulator, having an adjustable resonance (center) wavelength, optically couples an optical signal that includes the carrier wavelength from an input optical waveguide to an output optical waveguide. A monitoring mechanism in the optical device, which is optically coupled to the output optical waveguide, monitors a performance metric of an output optical signal from the output waveguide. For example, the monitoring mechanism may monitor: an average optical power associated with the output optical signal, and/or an amplitude of the output optical signal. Moreover, control logic in the optical device adjusts the resonance wavelength based on the monitored performance metric so that the performance metric is optimized.

Abstract: Implementations relate to computer-assisted agendas for videoconferences. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a device, scheduling input associated with a videoconference, where the scheduling input includes a time for the videoconference and one or more identifiers of one or more participants for the videoconference. In response to receiving the scheduling input, the method generates a record of the videoconference in storage, and determines an agenda for the videoconference including a plurality of agenda items. Each agenda item is associated with a respective time period in the videoconference, and at least one of the time periods is automatically determined. The method detects that the videoconference is in progress, and in response, causes output during the videoconference on one or more participating user devices connected to the videoconference, where the output is based on at least one of the agenda items.

Abstract: A system and method for providing access to data objects based on proximity. The system and method allow sharing of data objects by identifying one or more client devices proximate to the sharing device. The user of the sharing device may then select one or more of the identified devices with which to share the data object. Aspects of the invention include the ability to enable a “sharing mode” on the client devices to opt-in and allow communication with other similarly configured devices in the area. Access to the data object may be managed via an access control list present on a remote server, with the remote server hosting the data object.

The method further includes identifying advertisement information for presentation to a user at the client device, wherein the advertisement information is based on the context information. The method further includes presenting the advertisement information by the first portable program module to the user.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system in which a processor chip accesses an off-chip cache via silicon photonic waveguides. The system includes a processor chip and a cache chip that are both coupled to a communications substrate. The cache chip comprises one or more cache banks that receive cache requests from a structure in the processor chip optically via a silicon photonic waveguide. More specifically, the silicon photonic waveguide is comprised of waveguides in the processor chip, the communications substrate, and the cache chip, and forms an optical channel that routes an optical signal directly from the structure to a cache bank in the cache chip via the communications substrate. Transmitting optical signals from the processor chip directly to cache banks on the cache chip facilitates reducing the wire latency of cache accesses and allowing each cache bank on the cache chip to be accessed with uniform latency.
