Abstract: A transcript of a conference (e.g., a video conference, an audio conference, or a telephone call with two or more participants) is processed to extract a conference summary. The transcript includes strings that are associated with respective timestamps and respective speaker identifiers. Speaker segments—sequences of consecutive strings attributed to the same speaker—are identified in the transcript. A speaker segment is selected based on its duration in time and one or more strings are selected from with the selected speaker segment for inclusion in the conference summary. A short video conference summary or a short audio conference summary is then generated using timestamps from the transcript associated with strings (e.g., sentences) that have been selected for inclusion in the conference summary. The short video or audio summary may be presented to users to enable efficient storage and transmission of information from the conference within a unified communications system.

Abstract: Antenna systems with beam tracking and scanning ability are described. The antenna systems include one or more reflectors and one or more feeds. The tracked or scanned beam(s) are produced by moving the feed(s) while the reflector(s) is kept static. This greatly reduces the complexity of the antenna beam tracking and scanning mechanism, while providing the highest possible antenna efficiency and gain in a wide angular range. Multiple beams and/or switched beams can also be achieved using multiple feeds and/or switches.
