Abstract: A system and computer program product for an integrated blog in a collaborative environment is provided. In this regard, the computer program product includes a computer program comprising a set of instructions which when executed by a machine causes the machine to perform the steps of processing a single sign-on for a member of the collaborative environment, associating a role with the member so as to place the member into a collaborative space in the collaborative environment and to regulate the member in interacting with the collaborative space, retrieving a list of collaborative applications for the role assigned to the member, and loading the collaborative applications in the list into the collaborative space for use by the member from within the collaborative space, the collaborative applications including at least a blogging application.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for determining, by a computing device, a topic of a meeting. Participation of a meeting attendant during the meeting may be tracked. Content of the participation from the meeting attendant may be analyzed. It may be determined that the meeting attendant is an expert on the topic of the meeting based upon, at least in part, the content of the participation. It may be shared, via a social network, that the meeting attendant is the expert on the topic of the meeting.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for an integrated blog in a collaborative environment. In this regard, the collaborative environment can include a named collaborative space and one or more collaborative components disposed in the named collaborative space. For instance, the collaborative components can include a discussion forum, a persistent chat, a shared calendar and a shared document library, to name a few. Importantly, a blogging application can be disposed in the named collaborative space as one of the collaborative components. To that end, the blogging application can be coupled to a collaborative blog internal to the collaborative environment.

Abstract: Arrangements relate to the publication of information regarding the quality of a virtual meeting. One or more performance indicators related to an aspect of the meeting can be collected. The performance indicators can be collected automatically or by input by a meeting attendee. The collected performance indicators can be aggregated. The aggregated performance indicators can be published to an external computing system, such as a social collaboration system.

Abstract: Referenced content is shared through collaborative business applications by detecting referenced content in an electronic communication. The referenced content references content stored in an external repository. The referenced content identifies a registered external repository connector. A determination is made whether an Access Control List (“ACL”) for the referenced content lacks an entry for a recipient of the electronic communication. Also an ACL entry is generated for the recipient in response to the recipient lacking an entry in the ACL for the referenced content. The ACL entry controls access to the referenced content for the recipient.

Abstract: The present invention is a method, system and apparatus for managing external data sources in a discussion forum resource. A discussion forum resource can include at least one topic thread disposed in the discussion resource forum and created for externally sourced content in the discussion forum resource. The discussion forum resource further can include a data aggregator coupled to the topic thread and configured to manage the externally sourced content in the topic thread. Notably, the externally sourced content can include text, audio, imagery or video.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are provided for intelligently routing electronic messages to computers and pagers. Program code executable by a programmable controller is operative to monitor user activity at a computer workstation, for example. If the user appears to be at the workstation based on the detected activity of a computer workstation input device, the electronic message is forwarded to the computer workstation. If, however, no user activity is detected, the electronic message is forwarded to the user's pager.

Abstract: A hybrid multicarrier RF power amplifier linearization architecture combines ACT and feed-forward amplifier stages to achieve high output distortion rejection and enhanced amplifier linearity. A carrier cancellation loop is coupled with a main RF power amplifier stage having parallel RF power amplifiers coupled via intermod-complementing predistortion paths. The carrier cancellation loop is coupled to a feed-forward loop containing a feed-forward RF power amplifier, to produce a composite amplified output signal having very reduced intermodulation products. Vector modulators in the main amplifier and feed-forward amplifier stages are controlled by a digital signal processor, using outputs from various monitoring subsystems, including pilot tone detection, correlator, distortion and power detector circuits.

Abstract: In a conventional Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) wireless system, the specified distance between a mobile unit and the base transceiver system (BTS) cannot exceed predetermined distances because of time slot synchronization constraints. Furthermore, varying distances between mobile units and the BTS, as well as Rayleigh fading, caused by destructive interference effects between direct and reflected signals, create extreme signal strength variations in the initial uplink signal from the mobile stations. The use of spatially-diverse antennas for receiving uplink signals provides diversity gain and mitigates deep fades. Furthermore, selecting the stronger of the spatially-diverse uplink signals mitigates deep fades and reduces frequency usage in the backhaul frequency band. In this approach to extending TDMA system coverage, in-band translator components are located in the center of remote cells which would normally contain a base transceiver system (BTS).
