Various systems and methods for providing and deploying a power harvesting drone are described herein. A power harvesting drone includes a motor assembly; an energy replenishment coupler; a processor communicatively coupled to the energy replenishment coupler; and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to: operate the power harvesting drone to navigate a predetermined path; determine that a power supply used to operate the power harvesting drone is below a threshold of remaining power; identify an opportunistic energy source; and deviate from the predetermined path to replenish at least a portion of the power supply from the opportunistic energy source using the energy replenishment coupler onboard the power harvesting drone.

Technologies for automated context-aware media curation include a computing device that captures context data associated with media objects. The context data may include location data, proximity data, behavior data of the user, and social activity data. The computing device generates inferred context data using one or more cognitive or machine learning algorithms. The inferred context data may include semantic time or location data, activity data, or sentiment data. The computing device updates a user context model and an expanded media object graph based on the context data and the inferred context data. The computing device selects one or more target media objects using the user context model and the expanded media object graph. The computing device may present context-aware media experiences to the user with the target media objects. Context-aware media experiences may include contextual semantic search and contextual media browsing. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Various systems and methods for a gaze tracking system are described herein. A system for gaze tracking in a co-located workspace includes a user sensing module to identify a user proximate to the system; a gaze tracking module to track a gaze of the user; and a presentation module to draw a highlighted area on a display of the system, the highlighted area corresponding to the gaze of the user.

Systems and methods may provide for identifying a virtual geo-fence for a plurality of devices. Additionally, a condition may be detected with respect to two or more devices in the plurality of devices, wherein a status determination may be conducted as to whether at least one of the two or more devices has left the virtual geo-fence based on the condition.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for deterministically electing an active node. The methods, apparatuses, and systems include a node retrieving active processor information from a shared storage node, becoming active if the active processor information indicates the retrieving node, attempting to communicate with a second node indicated by the active processor information if the active processor information does not indicate the retrieving node, and the retrieving node becoming active if the second node does not communicate with the retrieving node.

Deterministically electing an active node

Information is obtained from a module received in a slot in a chassis. The information includes a number of ports in one or more module connectors which route at least one communication channel associated with a communication interfaces on the module. A determination is made as to the number of ports the slot has a capability to route the at least one communication channel to one or more backplanes in the chassis and to another module received in another slot in the chassis. A given number of ports in the one or more module connectors are enabled to forward data from the communication interface on the module and through the at least one communication channel to the other module based on the determination.

A method and system for automatically configuring a computer peripheral device connected to a computer network. The method and system both retrieve the Industry of Electrical and Electronic Engineering standard 1284 device identification stored in the peripheral device and select an appropriate device driver for installation of the device. Upon completion of an initial device driver installation, a subsequent user is provided with information pertaining to a previous installation of the driver in order to simplify a current installation of the driver.

A system and method of validating user inputs to a server based application are disclosed. A network server receives inputs to an application process from external processes at a plurality of communication interfaces. A validation engine determines validation criteria for inputs to the application process received at any one of the communication interfaces.

System and method of application input validation

A file sharing system using working files is implemented in a computer system having a memory system. The working file is provided by a working file application to various applications in the computer system, via a process that is transparent to the user. The working file application may provide a user interface to allow the user to select applications to execute, and to designate certain files as the working file. The applications may comprise a &ldquo;suite&rdquo; of applications for related subject matter.
