A computing device includes at least one processor to execute a web browser application and a separate and distinct script execution application. The web browser application submits a script execution request to the script execution application, and the script execution application executes a first script task based on the script execution request.

Computing device with script execution application

A computing device includes at least one processor to execute a web browser application and a separate and distinct plug-in deployment application. The web browser application receives user action information indicating user interaction with a web page displayed by the web browser application, determines that a new plug-in is to be installed based on the user action information, and provides the plug-in deployment application with download instructions for downloading the new plug-in. The plug-in deployment application automatically downloads the new plug-in in response to the download instructions without user involvement, and automatically installs the new plug-in on the computing device without user involvement.

Computing device with automatic download and installation of a new plug-in

A request is received from a web-based programmatic resource executing within an application that is installed on the computing device. From the request, one or more functional resources of the computing device are identified. The functional resources are not otherwise accessible to the web-based programmatic resource executing within the installed application on the computing device. A task is performed using the identified one or more functional resources.

Using functional resources of a computing device with web-based programmatic resources

Techniques pertaining to embedding fonts in a PDF document are disclosed. A processing component executing a PDF application programming interface (API) may be operative to identify each character in a PDF file associated with an un-embedded font. The PDF API may store a bitmap representation for each identified character in the PDF file associated with the un-embedded font. The PDF API may then create a bitmap font character from the bitmap representation for each identified character in the PDF file associated with an un-embedded font and replace each reference to a character in the PDF file associated with an un-embedded font with a reference to its corresponding bitmap font character.

Embedding bitmap fonts in PDF files

A content placement method includes electronically identifying a placeholder image in an electronic document. The placeholder defines a copy hole. The placeholder image is decoded to discern content selection data. The content selection data is processed to identify content that is inserted into the copy hole.

Content placement

Example embodiments relate to processing a scanned form by causing an action to occur. The scanned form includes a unique identifier that indicates that the action is to occur when the form is scanned. The unique identifier is detected in the scanned form data. The scanned form data may be transmitted to a server to use the unique identifier to identify the action to execute for processing the scanned data.

Causing an action to occur in response to scanned data

A system and method for controlling one or more remote sensors includes wirelessly communicating with the sensors, monitoring operation of each one of the sensors, and causing any one of the sensors that is operating in an unauthorized manner to be disabled. In one embodiment, the sensors can include micro-mechanical structure supporting electronic circuitry. The electronic circuitry is capable of monitoring at least one performance parameter of the sensor, comparing the monitored parameter to a preset limit, and disabling the sensor if the preset performance limit is exceeded.

A method of measuring video latency between a sender and a receiver in a video conference system is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes initiating an electrical signal from a first location in a video conference system, transmitting the electrical signal through the video components of the video conference system, reflecting the electrical signal back through the video components of the video conference system and measuring the latency of the electrical signal at the first location related to the transmission and reflection of the electrical signal.

Measuring latency in a video conference system

A system including a first node configured to receive first data in a first format that specifies a network destination for the first data and convert the first data to second data in a second format that does not specify a network destination for the second data and a second node configured to receive the second data from the first node over a first connection and convert the second data to third data in a third format that specifies a network destination for the third data is provided.

Converting data from a first network format to non-network format and from the non-network format to a second network format

Systems and methods for managing virtual collaboration systems are disclosed herein. A virtual collaboration system includes a distributor communicatively coupled to a first network and a second network having different network characteristics from the first network, the distributor configured to receive first media streams from at least one first network node, and to transmit the first media streams to at least one second network node; and a management subsystem adapted to dynamically configure a topology of a virtual collaborative event, wherein configuration of the topology includes a determination of media stream connections among the distributor and the at least one first network node based, at least in part, on at least one policy, and wherein the media stream connections establish and maintain virtual relationships among the at least one first network node and the at least one second network node.

Systems and methods for managing virtual collaboration systems

An apparatus has a content node to logically select a first A/V stream from an application layer of a first network and a collaboration node to logically select a second A/V stream from an application layer of a second network. A set of non-network media link interfaces are configured to transmit the second A/V stream from the collaboration node to the content node, and to transmit the first A/V stream from content node to the collaboration node. The non-network media link interfaces provide for limited information encoding to prevent network protocol information from being transferred between the first and second networks.

Synthetic bridging for networks

An event management system is configured to host a collaboration event that includes first and second event endpoints that provide respective first and second sets of audio/visual (A/V) media streams to respective first and second sets of attendees during the first event. The event management system is configured to, while hosting the collaboration event, reconfigure the collaboration event to cause a third event endpoint to provide a third set of audio/visual (A/V) media streams to at least one of the first set of attendees.

Reconfiguring a collaboration event

A method of creating a synthetic bridge () has select data () logically extracted from an application layer of a first network (A) which contains one or more first data streams to be transported to a second network (B). Select data () is logically extracted from an application layer of the second network (B). Select data () is logically extracted from an application layer of the second network (B) which contains one or more second data streams to be transported to the first network (A). The two or more first and second data streams are transported over separate sets of non-network media link interfaces (-) that only allow for limited information encoding and inherently prevent any network protocol information from being passed with the two or more first and second data streams until after the two or more first and second data streams are in the control of the opposite network from which they were transported.

A display system includes a display device and a data processing module. The display device is configured to display an image and has a processing profile associated therewith. The data processing module is remote from and operatively coupled to the display device and is configured to receive input image data for the image to be displayed and generate processed image data from the input image data based on the processing profile of the display device.
