In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a network arrangement and an email arrangement. The network arrangement is configured to enable the apparatus to communicate across a network. The email arrangement cooperates with the network arrangement to send and to receive emails. The email arrangement includes presence logic that monitors user interaction based presence with respect to a first email.

Method and apparatus for incorporating user interaction based presence in email systems

Methods, apparatuses, and articles of manufacture for receiving data from one or more processes, receiving or deriving a knowledge representation describing the data, which may include one or more finite automata, determining a plurality of values for encoding the data, said determining based at least in part on the knowledge representation of the data, which may include one or more finite automata, and generating the plurality of encoding values to encode the data, are described herein.

Knowledge based encoding of data

Methods, apparatuses, and articles of manufacture for receiving a stream of data, splitting the stream of data into a plurality of substreams based on one or more criteria, and selectively recombining the substreams based on one or more additional criteria, to improve overall effectiveness in compressing the stream of data, are described herein.

Multiplexing binary encoding to facilitate compression

Techniques are provided for a gesture device to detect a series of gestures performed by a user and execute corresponding electronic commands associated with the gestures. The gesture device detects a gesture constituting movements from a user in three-dimensional space and generates a confidence score value for the gesture. The gesture device selects an electronic command associated with the gesture and compares the electronic command with a prior electronic command associated with a prior gesture previously detected by the gesture device in order to determine a compatibility metric between the electronic command and the prior electronic command. The gesture device then adjusts the confidence score value based on the compatibility metric to obtain a modified confidence score value. The electronic command is executed by the gesture device when the modified confidence score value is greater than a predetermined threshold confidence score value.

Techniques for context-enhanced confidence adjustment for gesture

In one embodiment, a signal transmission authentication apparatus includes an input operable to receive a changing signal, a first extractor operable to extract first phoneme data from the received changing signal, a first generator including logic operable to generate first data representative of the extracted first phoneme data, a first output operable to communicate output data corresponding to the received changing signal and the first data from an associated transmitter to an associated receiver, a second extractor associated with the receiver including logic operable to extract second phoneme data from the received output data via the receiver and regenerate the first phoneme data from the received first data, a comparator including logic operable to generate a comparison signal in accordance with a comparison of the first and second phoneme data, and a second output operable to generate a signal corresponding to authenticity of the received changing signal in accordance with an output of the comparator.

Digital signature of changing signals using feature extraction

Methods, apparatuses, and articles of manufacture for encoding data and decoding encoded data based on one or more knowledge representation describing the data, which may include one or more finite automata; for multiplexing the encoded data, after encoding the data; and for de-multiplexing the encoded data, before decoding the encoded data, are described herein.

Knowledge based encoding of data with multiplexing to facilitate compression

A server routes one's incoming messages to his/her communication devices according to his/her routing preferences, and modifies the messages as needed. For example, the server can route an incoming page to one's email account and, if necessary, modify the page so that it is compatible with the email client. Thus, the server enables a number of diverse features such as: selection of routing topology (direct or indirect), translation of network restrictions, conditioning a synchronous communication for reception by an asynchronous device, message encryption, and callback or &ldquo;buddy list&rdquo; services.
