An apparatus for correcting a defect in an object using three-dimensional (3D) printing. The apparatus includes a flexible wrapper-shaped printing module including an array of port openings adapted to allow a 3D printable material to move therethrough. The flexible wrapper-shaped printing module is configured to wrap around an object to allow the 3D printable material to move through a first set of selected port openings of the array of port openings and be injected into the defect in order to correct the defect.

A method for acoustic damping of sound clips includes identifying an audio clip for a location of a user in an environment and fragmenting the audio clip into a plurality of sound clips. The method further includes, responsive to determining at least one sound clip from the audio clip requires acoustic damping, performing the acoustic damping on the at least one sound clip, where a damping ratio for the at least one sound clip is altered. The method further includes responsive to determining to stitch the plurality of sound clips, stitching the plurality of sounds clips to form the audio clip, where the plurality of sound clips includes the at least one sound clip with the acoustic damping. The method further includes displaying a visual representation of the audio clip with the plurality of sound clips.

Acoustic editing

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for recovering power from haptic feedback is provided. The present invention may include identifying one or more haptic devices and one or more power recovery devices associated with a user; dynamically monitoring a position and distance of the one or more haptic devices and the one or more power recovery devices; predicting how much power can be recovered by the one or more power recovery devices from haptic feedback generated by the one or more haptic devices based on the position and distance; and change a direction of haptic feedback based on the prediction, position, and distance.

In an approach for enabling multiple users to make e-commerce purchases from interactive advertisements using wearable device gestures, a processor identifies a wearable device attempting to pair with a smart display. A processor verifies a user wearing the wearable device is an authenticated user. A processor detects a gesture made by the user based on a sensor of the wearable device. A processor identifies an action the gesture is mapped to. A processor determines whether the user is authorized to complete the action mapped to the gesture detected. Responsive to determining that the user is authorized to complete the action mapped to the gesture, a processor completes the action the gesture is mapped to.

Audio of a user speaking is gathered while spatial data of the face of the user is gathered. Positions of elements of the face of are identified, wherein relative positions of the elements cause a plurality of qualities of the user voice. A subset of positions of the elements are identified to have caused a detected first quality of the user voice during the period of time. Alternate positions of the one or more elements are identified that are determined to cause the user voice to have a second quality rather than the first quality. A graphical representation of the face that depicts one or more adjustments from the subset of the positions to the alternate positions is provided to the user.

Graphical adjustment recommendations for vocalization

A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for event-based dynamic prediction in location sharing on mobile devices. The computer system captures biometric data of a user, in response to starting location sharing requested by the user. The computer system collects action-based context of behavior of the user during the location sharing, determines activities of the user and one or more sharing users during the location sharing, determines context of the location sharing, tracks activities of the user and the one or more sharing users after the location sharing is ended, and tracks social network relationships between the user and the one or more sharing users. The computer system creates a knowledge corpus for training a machine learning model for prediction in a future location sharing event, using obtained information.

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for indicating a hyperlink record is provided. The present invention may include receiving a hyperlink. The present invention may also include searching a data structure including a repository of a plurality of hyperlinks stored in at least one user system, where each hyperlink in the repository of the plurality of hyperlinks includes a hyperlink record having at least one reference to the at least one user system. The present invention may then include identifying a record of the received hyperlink in the searched data structure. The present invention may further include, in response to identifying the record of the received hyperlink within the searched data structure, modifying the received hyperlink to indicate the at least one reference to the at least one user system.

Hyperlink visual indicator

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, computer program products, and systems. Embodiments of the present invention can map an environment comprising one or more locations having respective objects located within each of the one or more locations based on received information. Embodiments of the present invention can then dynamically determine appropriate auditory levels for the environment. Embodiments of the present invention can then adjust auditory levels of each of the one or more rooms within the environment to match the determined auditory level.

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for autonomous vehicle (AV) behavior synchronization. The AV driving pattern is adjusted to facilitate an occupant's satisfaction by receiving information as to person to form a driving history. The driving history is analyzed to identify preferences and patterns. Based on the driving history a driving preference model is formed for the person. AV driving algorithm(s) are adjusted based on the driving preference model for the person when the person is an occupant of the AV.

Autonomous vehicle behavior synchronization

The present disclosure includes customizing responses by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system using a response mode for interaction with a user. A question or command is received at an AI system from an associated AI device which receives the question or command from an initiating user of a plurality of users in a vicinity of the AI device. A preference of an interaction mode for the initiating user is determined, and the preferred interaction mode is determined using a knowledge corpus. An answer to the question or command using the AI system is generated. Using the AI device, a communication to the initiating user which includes the answer is initiated, via a communication mode based on the interaction mode preference of the initiating user.

Approaches presented herein enable cognitive oral health management. Specifically, data from at least one internet of things (IoT) sensor and data from at least one visual image sensor are collected over time for a user via one or more sensors operatively coupled with one or more personal daily oral care devices as the user is performing a periodic oral care activity with the one or more personal daily oral care devices. Collected data are subjected to cognitive diagnostics to identify abnormalities in a user's oral healthcare regimen and physiological abnormalities within the oral cavity by categorizing data. A report for a medical professional may be generated providing recommendation of potential diagnoses and treatment options.
