Abstract: Calls run through a virtual desktop infrastructure server are enhanced by testing communication network conditions and selecting, based on the test results, a media channel from a set of supported media channels, including a media channel that is routed through the virtual desktop infrastructure server and encapsulated in a protocol for exchanging data for virtual desktop applications and a more direct media channel that uses a network socket pair between a media server and a personal computing device and bypasses the virtual desktop infrastructure server. In some implementations, call data of multiple types and/or from multiple sources are merged into a single virtual channel of the protocol for exchanging data for virtual desktop applications.

Abstract: One example method includes receiving, at a client, a plurality of real time performance measures associated with a currently-active video conference executing in a video conference application, determining, at the client, based on one or more of the plurality of real time performance measures or a user input, the presence of a fault associated with the currently-active video conference, determining, at the client, a plurality of potential causes of the fault based at least in part on the plurality of real time performance measures, providing, at the client, a notification of the presence of the fault to the user; and generating, at the client, a suggested action to alleviate the fault in real time, the suggested action based at least in part on the plurality of potential causes of the fault.

Abstract: Calls run through a virtual desktop infrastructure server are enhanced by opening a media channel between a personal computing device and a media server for a call initiated using a virtual desktop infrastructure server. A first stream of media data for the call is merged with a second stream of media data for the call in a single virtual channel of the protocol using a first packet queue to store packets of the first stream and a second packet queue to store packets of the second stream as the packets await transmission. A first packet of media data of the first stream is pushed into the first packet queue. A fill level of the first packet queue is compared to a first congest threshold associated with the first packet queue. Responsive to the fill level exceeding the first congest threshold, a congestion mitigation measure is invoked.

Abstract: An optical coherence tomography system is provided. The system includes an OCT imager; a two-dimensional transverse scanner coupled to the OCT imager, the two-dimensional transverse scanner receiving light from the light source and coupling reflected light from a sample into the OCT imager; optics that couple light between the two-dimensional transverse scanner and the sample; a video camera coupled to the optics and acquiring images of the sample; and a computer coupled to receive images of the sample from the video camera, the computer processing the images and providing a motion offset signal based on the images to the two-dimensional transverse scanner.
