  • Publication number: 20240340193
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing electronic content and generating corresponding output. Electronic content is received from a meeting, including recognizable speech content. This content is then summarized into real-time summary output by processing and encoding the meeting content while selectively alternating between unidirectional attention and bidirectional attention that is applied to the meeting contents.

  • Publication number: 20200368776
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for surface coating by means of grid control and plasma-initiated gas-phase polymerization. The method comprises: dividing a vacuum chamber into a discharging cavity (2) and a processing chamber (3) by using a metal grid mesh (1), the metal grid mesh (1) being insulated from the vacuum chamber; separately feeding carrier gas and monomer steam into the discharging cavity (2) and the processing chamber (3) through different pipes (4, 5), putting a substrate to be processed (11) in the processing chamber (3), and generating in the discharging cavity (2) plasma that continuously discharges; and applying pulse positive bias to the metal grid mesh (1), to release the plasma into the processing chamber (3) to initiate monomer polymerization.

  • Patent number: 9876986
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate describing, communicating, utilizing, etc. a frame dependency structure in connection with real time video communication. For example, a protocol can be employed to communicate the dependency structure from a sender to a receiver. Moreover, a mechanism on a receiver side can detect frame(s) that will be rendered with artifacts if displayed due to previous frame loss; this mechanism can leverage receiver side knowledge concerning the dependency structure of the of the frames.

  • Patent number: 7957307
    Abstract: An error correction system determines a level of error correction protection to apply to a frame of video data to be transmitted by a sending endpoint to a receiving endpoint based on the predicted impact of packet loss as well as the importance of the frame based on inter-frame dependencies, frame size, packet loss probability, historical packet loss pattern, central processing unit (CPU) load, and available network bandwidth. At the receiving endpoint, when packet loss is detected for a particular frame, the receiving endpoint will attempt to recover the frame using protection packets received along with the video data.

  • Patent number: 7664246
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or techniques (“tools”) are described that sort speakers in a network-enabled conference. In some cases, this sorted list of speakers indicates which speaker is dominant. With this sorted list, a participant's communication device may provide context about the speakers. In some cases a participant's communication device has a display that presents real-time video of the speakers or other visual indicia, such as each or the most dominant speaker's name, picture, title, or location. These and other context about speakers may help participants better understand discussions in network-enabled conferences.
