Abstract: Artificial intelligence is introduced into an electronic meeting context to perform various tasks before, during, and/or after electronic meetings. The artificial intelligence may analyze a wide variety of data such as data pertaining to other electronic meetings, data pertaining to organizations and users, and other general information pertaining to any topic. Capability is also provided to create, manage, and enforce meeting rules templates that specify requirements and constraints for various aspects of electronic meetings. Embodiments include improved approaches for translation and transcription using multiple translation/transcription services. Embodiments also include using sensors in conjunction with interactive whiteboard appliances to perform person detection, person identification, attendance tracking, and improved meeting start.

Abstract: Techniques and architecture for determining compliance of a network with respect to a network design solution. The techniques may include determining a role for each network device of a network that comprises multiple network devices and determining one or more policies related to each network device with respect to other network devices of the network. The techniques may further include based at least in part on the roles for each network device and the one or more policies, determining a level of compliance of a configuration of the network with respect to a network design solution. Based at least in part on the level of compliance, a remedial action may be performed. In configurations, a machine learning model may be used.

Abstract: An interactive whiteboard appliance includes the capability to integrate and manage, in a user-friendly manner, interactive electronic whiteboard sessions and videoconferencing sessions between the interactive whiteboard appliance and one or more client devices. An application manager executing on the interactive whiteboard appliance manages an interactive whiteboard application and a collaboration client executing on the interactive whiteboard appliance to maintain a videoconferencing session window on top of an interactive whiteboard session window during videoconferencing sessions. The application manager also provides graphical user interface controls displayed on the interactive whiteboard appliance that allow users to initiate and manage interactive electronic whiteboard sessions and videoconferencing sessions, including switching between interactive electronic whiteboard sessions and videoconferencing sessions.

Abstract: An interactive whiteboard appliance includes the capability to integrate and manage, in a user-friendly manner, interactive electronic whiteboard sessions and videoconferencing sessions between the interactive whiteboard appliance and one or more client devices. An application manager executing on the interactive whiteboard appliance manages an interactive whiteboard application and a collaboration client executing on the interactive whiteboard appliance to maintain a videoconferencing session window on top of an interactive whiteboard session window during videoconferencing sessions. The application manager also provides graphical user interface controls displayed on the interactive whiteboard appliance that allow users to initiate and manage interactive electronic whiteboard sessions and videoconferencing sessions, including switching between interactive electronic whiteboard sessions and videoconferencing sessions.

Abstract: Provided herein are methodology and composition for use of any nut (such as almond, walnut, or pistachio) or legume (peanut) shell and/or husk material in a growing substrate, with or without other components such as peat, perlite, or coir; for plant growth, whether it be used in its whole form or some reduced form such as, having been chipped or ground, and whether composted or not.

Abstract: An approach is provided for integrating mobile devices into electronic meetings conducted over computer networks using IWB appliances. The approach includes a user-friendly way for users to join electronic meetings using mobile devices. The approach also allows participants to command and control an electronic meeting using their mobile device, and to receive individualized output, such as meeting transcripts, real-time language translation, messages, prompts, meeting information, and personalized audio streams.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing time series data includes maintaining by a web server user account data for each of a plurality of user accounts. Each account is associated with a user. The method includes maintaining, and repeatedly updating, in normative formats, on a time series server, a set of time series. In some aspects, the method further includes, for each user having a user account, serving by the time series server a distinct time series name for each member of the set of time series in a web page over a wide area network to a client computer of the user for display in a browser thereof in such a manner that, when the given user graphically selects the name of a given one of the time series in the browser for invoking a functionality provided by the time series server, there is provided to the server by the browser a unique location identifier of an underlying location, of the selected time series, wherein data for the time series is stored on the server.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing time series data includes maintaining by a web server user account data for each of a plurality of user accounts. Each account is associated with a user. The method includes, for each user having a user account, serving by the web server a set of web pages configured to support uploading of time series data to the web server, including updates of such data from time to time; storing by the web server the uploaded time series data; and serving by the web server a set of web pages configured to present such data to such user. Related methods include a method for web-publishing the data, and loading the data into applications running locally. There is also provided a digital storage medium encoded with instructions that when loaded into a computer establish processes that implement any of these methods.
