Abstract: Zero-touch monitoring devices and systems are disclosed that are configured with hardware to perform a process-mining on an event-to-entry process associated with an organization to collect data information associated with the process, determine an input-related zero-touch quotient for the event-to-entry process based on the data information, determine a rule-related zero-touch quotient for the event-to-entry process based on the data information, determine a zero-touch potential predictive accounting factor (ZTP PAF) value for the event-to-entry process, and generate a zero-touch processing quotient for the event-to-entry process based on the input-related zero-touch quotient, the rule-related zero-touch quotient, and the ZTP PAF value. The ZTP PAF value quantifies an incremental zero-touch potential for the event-to-entry process and corresponding attributes.

Abstract: Cameras are located within the display area of a display. In-display cameras allow for thinner display bezels. In-display cameras allow for the creation of ultra-high resolution images. The ability to capture an object from multiple perspectives allows for holographic image recording and playback. Multiple views of an image can be captured with varying depths of focus, allowing an image's depth of field to be adjusted during post processing. In-display cameras can also be used for user authentication, touch detection and three-dimensional gesture recognition. Thermal sensors located within the display area allow for control of the display temperature, improved control over system performance, and compensation for micro-LED degradation that can occur due to aging or increased temperature. Microlens assemblies located above pixels can adjust the viewing cone angle of the display or a portion of the display and microassemblies located under individual pixels or pixel arrays can adjust a viewing angle.

Abstract: A method for driving zero time-to-insight and effectiveness of insight-to-nudge in a decision-making process. The method includes identifying a scope associated with a data-to-action loop in the decision-making process. The method further includes determining, by a zero time-to-insight engine, a zero time-to-insight quotient for a data-to-insight loop included in the data-to-action loop. The method additionally includes determining, by an insight-to-nudge engine, an insight-to-nudge quotient for an insight-to-action loop included in the data-to-action loop. The method additionally includes determining, by a predictive model factor component, a data-to-action prediction model factor (D2A PMF) for the data-to-action loop, where the D2A PMF quantifies an incremental zero time-to-insight potential for the data-to-action loop and corresponding attributes.

Abstract: A method for assessing user experience includes determining one or more experience journey maps, identifying personas included in the one or more experience journey maps, and collecting user experience related data from the personas included in the one or more experience journey maps. The method further includes identifying user experience gaps based on an analysis performed on the experience related data collected, and providing a graphical representation that highlights the user experience gaps. The method also includes generating recommendations for execution to mitigate the user experience gaps highlighted in the graphical representation, monitoring and tracking a progress of the executed recommendations, and performing automated monitoring and offset metric tracking of targeted experience-related input metrics used to gauge a performance of the executed recommendations.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to determining automation potential of a process by dividing the process into subsidiary processes corresponding to five hierarchical tiers, assessing the subsidiary processes by selecting a value for each of one or more parameters for each of the subsidiary processes at the tier five, computing a score for the subsidiary processes at the tier five based on the selected values, identifying a category of automation for the subsidiary processes in the tier five based on the score for the subsidiary processes at the tier five; determining an automation potential indicator for the subsidiary processes in the tier five based on the category of automation and the score; computing a maximum automation potential indicator and an automation potential indicator at each hierarchical tier based on a maximum automation potential indicator and an automation potential indicator at immediately lower tier to compute the automation potential for the process.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assessing the health of a process is provided where the health of a client's process is assessed across a plurality of dimensions based on computing a process health index. The process health index is computed by determining a sub-process health index across a plurality of dimensions for the sub-processes comprising the process. The sub-process health index across different dimensions is determined based, at least in part, on responses to a set of evaluators and the dimensional weight value assigned to each of the dimensions. The response to each evaluator is an option selected from a plurality of weighted options. The sub-process health index is then stored. A process health index is calculated based on the sub-process health index for each sub-process across a plurality of dimensions and the sub-process weight value assigned to each of the sub-processes. The process health index is stored and used to assess the health of a client's process.

Abstract: A system and method for allocating capacity in a hybrid cable television network transmits different channels on the same radio frequency sub-carrier of different carriers. This allows a part of the allocated downstream radio frequency spectrum to be reused by utilizing multiple carriers. Carriers selection at a downstream location determines which channel is received by any particular subscriber. In this way, services can be tailored to subscriber groups.
