Methods and structures are provided for implementing embedded wire repair for printed circuit board (PCB) constructs. A repair wire layer is provided within the PCB stack with reference planes on opposite sides of the repair wire layer. When a repair connection is required, an appropriate plated through hole (PTH) is drilled to form the repair connection using the repair wire layer.

Providing routing based on driver experience is provided. Aspects include receiving a destination from a user, calculating a plurality of routes from an origin to the destination, and comparing characteristics of each of the plurality of routes with previous driving experience information of the user. Aspects also include calculating an associated risk level for each of the plurality of routes based on the comparison and providing, to the user, a listing of the plurality of routes having the associated risk level indicated. Aspects further include receiving a selected route from the user and providing the selected route and the associated risk level to an insurance provider of the user.

A screen content management system and method for determining viewable screen content is provided. The method may include receiving a registration indication to register content as a private resource. The method may further include registering the content as the private resource. The method may also include assigning a unique identification code to the private resource. The method may additionally include receiving a viewing requirement for the private resource. The method may moreover include modifying a viewing definition for the private resource based on the viewing requirement. The method may further include receiving a request to display the private resource, the request being associated with user information. The method may also include determining whether the private resource is displayable based on the viewing definition of the private resource and the user information.

Determining viewable screen content

A method, system and computer program product for controlling the delivery of voice communications. A profile is created for the user of a mobile device that specifies the thresholds for switching between a cellular network and a wireless network to conduct voice communications as well as stores a list of contacts and associated security levels. If the signal strength of the cellular radio signal is below a threshold, then the mobile device detects one or more wireless networks that are in the area of the user of the mobile device. The profile of the user of the mobile device is then checked to determine if the mobile device is authorized to switch to one of the detected wireless networks to deliver voice communications based on a security level associated with the party communicating with the user. In this manner, the user is able to control the delivery of voice communications.

Systems and methods to distribute power to individual power outlets are disclosed. A particular apparatus includes a memory having program code and a processor configured to access the memory and execute the program code to determine whether to allow power to be supplied to an individual power outlet. In one implementation, the determination is based on a current draw and a resistance reading associated with the power outlet.

Selective power distribution to individual outlets

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: a voice delivery application, running on a mobile device of a user, receives a text message from a user; by use of sensor inputs of the mobile device, the mobile device stores data regarding environment of the mobile device including external audio equipment, speed of the user, and bystanders within a hearing range of the environment; various data describing a sender of the text message and the bystanders are analyzed for respective relationships with the user and with each other to determine a confidentiality group dictating whether or not the text message may be heard by the bystander; the text message may be scanned for content screening, then according to configuration of the voice delivery application, the text message is securely delivered to the user by voice.

In an approach for providing dynamic services a computer receives a dietary plan for an individual. The computer tracks physical activity data for the individual. The computer creates one or more propositions for the individual based at least in part on the received dietary plan and the tracked physical activity data. The computer provides the created one or more propositions to the individual. The computer receives a selection from the created one or more propositions. The computer tracks the received selection.

Physical activity and dietary based services

A wireless connection may be established between a first computing device and a second computing device. A first media content may be displayed by the first computing device. The wireless connection may be determined to include a signal strength. The signal strength may be determined to be below a signal strength. In response to the determining that the wireless connection includes a signal strength and determining that the signal strength is below a threshold, a first bookmark may be generated. The first bookmark may reference a location within the first media content.

Signal strength bookmarking for media content

Method, system, and computer-readable program product for modifying at least one virtual activity capability of an avatar in a virtual reality setting based on a real-world physical activity metric of a user of the virtual reality setting. The user's physical activity metrics are tracked via a fitness tracker or other biometric sensor. As the user's physical activity metric(s) improve, the virtual activity capabilities of the user's avatar in the virtual reality setting also improve.

VR biometric integration

A first cellular client determines its geographic location from a second cellular client. As part of this determination, the first cellular client disables its cellular functionality. The first cellular client receives a first identifier from the second cellular client by way of a non-cellular connection. The first identifier is related to a first antenna of a cellular service-provider. The first cellular client tracks its location based on the first identifier.
