A computer based tool and method for automatically producing, from an existing presentation, a new presentation that fits within a specific presentation duration based on the priority associated with each element within the existing presentation and the presentation time for each individual element.

Computerized tool for creating variable length presentations

Embodiments for delivery of a time-dependent virtual reality environment by a processor. A time-dependent three dimensional (3D) virtual environment, having one or more configurable boundary parameters, may be created according to user input, one or more cognitive computing systems, data resources, or a combination thereof.

Delivery of a time-dependent virtual reality environment in a computing system

A system and method for signaling users including a control device electrically connected to a transceiver. The transceiver has a specified frequency. A first mobile signal device being activated by a first user and electrically communicating with a first transmitter having a selectable signal frequency. The first transmitter electrically communicates with the transceiver using the specified frequency. A second signal device includes a second receiver for receiving an activation signal from the transceiver. The second receiver electrically communicates with the transceiver using the specified frequency. The second signal device is activated by the activation of the first mobile signal device using the transceiver for alerting other persons.

Method of activating a supplemental visual warning signal based on frequency emitted from a generator of a primary audible warning signal

A category dependent pre-processor for categorizes each unprocessed command of a set of batch commands into one of four zone categories and processes them differentially according to the zone categories: ignoring errors while executing unprocessed commands within a first zone category; executing until encountering an error the unprocessed commands within the second zone category; not executing the unprocessed commands within the third zone category; and executing only those of the unprocessed commands identified as within a fourth zone category that have not been successfully executed within a specified time interval from a current time, thus not executing other, remaining ones of the unprocessed commands within the fourth zone category and that have been successfully executed within the specified time interval from the current time.

A system for monitoring a plurality of objects in motion (OIMs) along a static route using a plurality of sensory detection devices, the static route having a plurality of route portions, each route portion having an entering boundary and an exiting boundary, at least one OIM being a designated OIM and having a tag indicating the location of the designated OIM along the route, the system comprising a plurality of sensory detection devices corresponding to the plurality of route portions for monitoring activity in each of the plurality of route portions and for providing monitor output representing activity within each of the plurality of route portions, a plurality of data stores corresponding to each of the plurality of route portions for receiving and storing the monitor output for each of the plurality of route portions, and a plurality of location detectors communicative with the tag of the designated OIM for identifying the location of the designated OIM, each location detector providing output when the designated OIM is located within a route portion.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for consolidating Web pages displayed in multiple browsers at a computer processing device are provided. A method includes generating an information file in response to initiation of a browser instance and creating a file record for each web page accessed during the browser instance. The file record includes session history data for each web page. The method also includes consolidating each of the file records from the information file with other file records from another information file created in response to another browser instance. The method further includes displaying a single view of browser activity corresponding to the browser instance and the other browser instance resulting from the consolidation.

A method for rectangular cropping including the steps of: (i) providing a sequence of images on a graphical interface device; (ii) analyzing each pixel in the first image included in the sequence of images; (iii) locating a boundary between the background of the first image and the border of the first image; (iv) determining the degree off true horizontal of the first image; (v) rotating the first image based on the determining step; (vi) applying a cropping operation to the first image; and (vii) automatically applying the cropping operation to each other image in the sequence of images.

A method for amplifier volume specification and control, the method includes: applying an initial volume level to an amplifier; determining one or more of: which A/V component has been selected for use, which channel or frequency is being outputted, and the type of outputted A/V content; modifying the initial amplifier volume level with one or more stored volume level settings in response to at least one of the following: the determined A/V component in use; the selected channel and frequency outputted, and the type of outputted A/V content; wherein the one or more stored volume level settings include: received volume level settings for audio/video (A/V) components; received volume level settings for selected channels and frequencies that are outputted by the A/V components; and received volume level settings for A/V content.
