An ultrasound probe is guided to an optimal position on a patient's body by illuminating the patient's body with a laser, by displaying icons of the probe position and the optimal position on a 3-D model of the patient's body, or by playing an audio signal that varies according to distance of the probe position from the optimal position. In certain embodiments, the probe is guided to a series of optimal positions for conducting a vascular exam, responsive to a database of human anatomy and vasculature and responsive to a database of vascular exam procedures.

Automating ultrasound examination of a vascular system

Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for managing water consumption when a user engages in a specified water using activity. In an embodiment, the method comprises detecting user movement during said activity; detecting water usage during said activity; creating a pattern associating said user movements with said water usage over a specified period of time; and using said pattern to control a supply of water for the user when the user engages in the water using activity. In an embodiment, movement sensors are used to generate data representing movement of the user during the water using activity; water sensors are used to generate data representing water usage during the water using activity; and the movement data and the water data are processed to generate a data structure correlating the user movement data with the water data.

Water management using water consuming behavior to control water flow

The method includes receiving, by one or more computer processors, a first text, wherein at least a portion of the received first text is confidential. The method further includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, an intended recipient of the received first text. The method further includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, a first conversion model, which corresponds to the intended recipient. The method further converting, by one or more computer processors, the received first text into a third text that does not include confidential text based upon the identified first conversion model.

System for hiding sensitive messages within non-sensitive meaningful text

An approach, executed by a computer, includes receiving at least an initial polling quantity and an initial polling frequency and polling an endpoint application using the initial polling quantity and the initial polling frequency. The approach includes determining a first number of events not consumed in a queue of a listening application and a second number of events generated at the endpoint application and remaining in a queue at the endpoint application and comparing the number of events in each queue. The approach includes adjusting at least one of the initial polling quantity and the initial polling frequency based, at least in part, on the comparison of the first number of events not consumed in the queue of the listening application and the second number of events generated at the endpoint application and remaining in the queue at the endpoint application.

Polling parameter adjustment

Examples of techniques for generating a plurality of action items from a meeting transcript of a meeting are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method comprises chunking the meeting transcript into a plurality of chunks using a meeting topic model. The computer-implemented method also comprises performing, by a processor, information extraction on the plurality of chunks to extract action item information from the plurality of chunks. The computer-implemented method further comprises generating the plurality of action items based on the extracted action item information.

Automatic generation of action items from a meeting transcript

An approach, executed by a computer, for adjusting polling parameters. The approach includes one or more processors polling an endpoint application using an initial polling quantity and an initial polling frequency. The approach includes determining a first number of events not consumed in a queue of a listening application and a second number of events in a queue at the endpoint application at an end of a polling cycle. Furthermore, the approach includes adjusting at least one of the initial polling quantity and the initial polling frequency based, at least in part, on a comparison of the first number of events not consumed in the queue of the listening application and the second number of events in the queue at the endpoint application at the end of the polling cycle.

In a method for generating a searchable index from an analysis of a software application, receiving a first software application. The one or more processors determine that a first source code of the first software application is inaccessible. The one or more processors stimulate the first software application. The one or more processors analyze textual data resulting from the stimulation of the first software application. The one or more processors classify one or more images resulting from the stimulation of the first software application. The one or more processors index the analyzed textual data and the classified one or more images resulting from the stimulation of the first software application.

Indexing content and source code of a software application

In an approach for evaluating performance of machine translation, a processor receives a first document in a source language. A processor translates the first document in the source language to a second document in a target language, based, at least in part, on a first quantity of information. A processor evaluates the second document in the target language, based, at least, on one or more aspects of the translation. A processor determines, based, at least in part, on the evaluation, the second document in the target language meets a predetermined threshold.

Performance detection and enhancement of machine translation

Method and system are provided for vehicle accident avoidance carried out with respect to a host vehicle by modeling behavior. The method includes: monitoring a surrounding environment of the host vehicle and detecting other vehicles in a vicinity of the host vehicle by at least one visual sensor. The method further includes: estimating a speed and direction of each of the detected vehicles; calculating one or more projected paths of each of the detected vehicles based on their current estimated speed and direction, the current monitored surrounding environment, and other vehicle projected paths; estimating a probability of intersection of each projected path with the host vehicle; and providing an alert or action to the host vehicle if there is a high probability of intersection.

Vehicle accident avoidance system

A method and system for analyzing language morphology to facilitate statistical machine translation from a first language to a target language is disclosed. The method and system can include marking words in a first language text with a part-of-speech tag, and parsing one or more sentences in the first language text to determine syntactic dependence relations between the words in the one or more sentences of the first language text. Morphological features of the words in the first language text can also be extracted. The method and system can also include tagging the words in the first language text with a language morphology tag from a second language. A modified form of words in the first language text can be generated using the language morphology tags from the second language. The modified form of the words can be used to facilitate translation from the first language to a target language.

Morphology analysis for machine translation

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a computer implemented method, computer program product, and system for management of parking spaces in a parking area. Identifying an individual entering a parking area and a vehicle in the parking area that corresponds to the identified individual. Determining a distance between the identified individual and the identified vehicle in the parking area. Determining whether the identified individual is moving toward the identified vehicle. Responsive to determining that the identified individual is moving toward the identified vehicle, determining whether the determined distance is less than an associated distance threshold condition. In another embodiment, detecting a parking ticket entering the parking area and identifying an individual and a vehicle in the parking area that correspond to the detected parking ticket.
