Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for determining an optimal lane recommendation of a road having a plurality of lanes for a primary vehicle within an optimal guided route to a destination. The steps including retrieving local environment data comprising real-time spatial data directly from at least one local source, the at least one local source comprising at least one sensor in an other vehicle; determining an optimal recommended lane of the road from the plurality of lanes of the road to minimize travel time for the primary vehicle, based on the directly retrieved environment data from the at least one source within a specific distance from the primary vehicle; and displaying the optimal recommended lane of the road for travel of the primary vehicle within the optimal guided route to the destination through an interface to a user.

Abstract: Container manifests are tracked using a radio frequency identification (RFID) contents reader affixed to a container in which a plurality of RFID-tagged items are disposed, the contents reader being configured to collect and store identification information from all of the tagged items; and using an active RFID tag emulator affixed to the container which responds to an external reader activation code by receiving the collected information from the affixed RFID contents reader, and by transmitting the identification information to the external reader.

Abstract: Multiple speaker cadence is managed for translated conversations by separating a multi-speaker audio stream into single-speaker audio tracks containing one or more first language audio snippets organized according to a timing relationship as related in the multi-speaker audio stream, generating a pause relationship model by determining time relationships between the single-speaker snippets and assigning pause marker values denoting the each beginning and each ending of each mutual silence pause, collecting a translated language audio track corresponding to each single-speaker track, generating pause relationship controls according the pause relationship model, and producing a translated multi-speaker audio output including the translated tracks in which the translated snippets are related in time according to the pause relationship controls.

Abstract: Routing data packet traffic in packet networks, expediting the flow of the data packets and reducing the effects of congestion at nodes is accomplished by capturing latency data for nodes for initial measurement times; and computing a least squares estimate of the delay as a recursive least-squares solution.

Abstract: A system, method, and medium for tracking the contents of a container in which the items stored in the container are provided with radio frequency identification (“RFID”) tags, and a tracker affixed to the container periodically polls the items in the container to collect identification information. An electronic manifest, also attached to the container, is updated periodically to reflect items which have been added to the container or removed from the container since the last polling. The tracker emulates an RFID tag when polled by an external reader, responding by uploading the entire electronic manifest to the external reader. The external reader and the affixed reader preferably utilize distinct RFID protocols so as to produce a hierarchical manifest data structure with high integrity.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are described for managing the provisioning of resources in a data processing system. There are different types of resources. Each resource is one of these types. Multiple provisioning states are defined for each type of resource. Relationships are defined among the provisioning states. The relationships describe valid transitions from one state to another. Workflows of one or more tasks are defined, varying to the resource implementation specifications, that are associated with each one of the valid transitions between states. When a resource is to transition from a current state, the relationships among states are used to determine a valid next state. The workflow specific to the resource specification and associated with this transition from the current state to the determined next state is then executed in order to transition to the next state.

Abstract: An enterprise service bus (ESB) having a plurality of internet relay chat (IRC) clients and internet relay chat (IRC) ‘bots’ that provide ESB like routing and mediation functionality. The internet relay chat (IRC) framework provides messaging transport, and utilizes SOA specific tooling to turn IRC into an SOA framework.
