Abstract: Techniques related to electronic meeting intelligence are disclosed. An apparatus receives audio/video data including first meeting content data for an electronic meeting that includes multiple participants. The apparatus extracts the first meeting content data from the audio/video data. The apparatus generates meeting content metadata based on analyzing the first meeting content data. The apparatus includes the meeting content metadata in a report of the electronic meeting. If the apparatus determines that the audio/video data includes a cue for the apparatus to intervene in the electronic meeting, the apparatus generates intervention data including second meeting content data that is different from the first meeting content data. During the electronic meeting, the apparatus sends the intervention data to one or more nodes associated with at least one participant of the multiple participants.

Abstract: A control system for a satellite comprises a power source and control system, a propulsion system having individually selectable solid fuel motors, a communication interface and an attitude determination and control system (ADCS). The ADCS receives power from the power source and control system and further receives desired orbital or positional instructions via the communication interface. Based on the desired orbital or position instructions, the ADCS generates and provides commands to the propulsion system. In turn, the propulsion system selects and fires one or more motors of the individually selectable solid fuel motors responsive to the commands received from the ADCS. A satellite may comprise the disclosed satellite control system as well as attitude control components and/or sensor components operatively connected to the satellite control system.

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.

Abstract: An open collaboration approach using an interactive whiteboard appliance is presented. An interactive whiteboard application executing on a computing device causes a first window instance to be generated and displayed on the display of the interactive whiteboard appliance, first data to be processed by the first window instance generated and displayed on the display of the interactive whiteboard appliance, and a second window instance to be generated and displayed on the display of the interactive whiteboard appliance. A data management application is configured to determine whether the first data processed by the first window instance generated and displayed on the display of the interactive whiteboard appliance is compatible with the second window instance generated and displayed on the display of the interactive whiteboard appliance, and cause the first data to be processed by the second window instance.

Abstract: An open collaboration approach using an interactive whiteboard appliance is presented. An interactive whiteboard application executes on a computing device and causes performing receiving a request to invoke a web application. The request comprises an Internet address of the web application. A data management application executes on the computing device and causes accessing the web application using the Internet address. Upon accessing the web application, the web application is launched on the computing interactive whiteboard appliance.
