A method of publishing node package manager (NPM) packages on NPM repository is disclosed. the method may include rendering a graphical user interface (GUI) client upon being launched by a user from within an integrated development environment (IDE). The GUI client may be configured to publish a NPM package created in the IDE on a target NPM repository. The method may further include receiving through the GUI client, an identification of the target NPM repository and corresponding user authentication information from the user, and a selection of the NPM package and a name of the NPM package upon receiving an acknowledgement for successful authentication from the target NPM repository. The method may further include transmitting the selected NPM package and the name of the NPM package to the target NPM repository for publication upon receiving an acknowledgement for successful validation from the target NPM repository.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to instant messaging and real-time communications systems and provide a method, system and computer program product for automated partner list management in a real-time communications system. In one embodiment, a real-time communications data processing system can include a real-time communications server, a history log configured to record user interaction records for different users of the real-time communications server, a set of partner lists for the different users, and partner list management logic coupled to each of the real-time communications server and history log. The partner list management logic can include program code enabled to remove individual ones of the different users from a single one of the partner lists which individual ones of the different users meet at least one configurable criteria.

Programmatic message partner list management

An apparatus, system, and method for associating a gaming profile based on a position of a wireless device relative to a gaming controller. The system includes a position detector to detect a position of each of a plurality of gaming controllers. The position detector also detects a position of the mobile phone relative to each of the plurality of gaming controllers. The gaming profile is associated with the mobile phone. The system also includes a gaming profile manager to associate the gaming profile with one of the gaming controllers in response to the position of the wireless device relative to each of the plurality of gaming controllers.

System, method, and apparatus for associating a gaming profile using proximity of a wireless device

An apparatus, system, and method for synchronizing a portable gaming profile with a gaming system. The method includes communicating with a wireless device that stores gaming profile data for a user of the gaming system. The gaming profile data describes information relating to the user. The wireless device is a device other than a gaming controller. The method also includes associating the gaming profile data with a gaming profile operating on the gaming system. The method also includes transmitting updated gaming profile data to the wireless device.

Social activity content is aggregated for summarization and reporting by obtaining a plurality of input messages that each characterizes a corresponding time limited social activity, such as a sporting event, competition, etc. Each received message is associated with a corresponding social activity, information is extracted from the received messages describing an aspect of the corresponding social activity and information is generated that summarizes the corresponding social activity. Generated information may be based upon a combination of the information extracted from the associated messages, and information derived from content based assumptions utilizing knowledge of the corresponding social activity. Social activity information is further aggregated by applying context aware filtering to eliminate redundantly generated information, sequencing the filtered information into a chronology of the social activity and generating a summary of the social activity based upon the sequenced and filtered information.

Consolidating input messages for social activity summarization

An apparatus, system, and method to transcribe a voice chat session initiated from a text chat session. The system includes a chat server, a voice server, and a transcription engine. The chat server is configured to facilitate a text chat session between multiple instant messaging clients. The voice server is coupled to the chat server and configured to facilitate a transition from the text chat session to a voice chat session between the multiple instant messaging clients. The transcription engine is coupled to the voice server and configured to generate a voice transcription of the voice chat session. The voice transcription may be aggregated into a text chat history.

Apparatus, system, and method for voice chat transcription

A consolidated instant messaging message history is maintained at a selected point of presence. Non-selected instant messaging points of presence include instant messaging messages that were transmitted during one or more instant messaging sessions conducted between the non-selected instant messaging points of presence and one or more instant messaging participants. The selected instant messaging point of presence retrieves instant messaging messages included at the non-selected instant messaging points of presence. The retrieved messages are stored on a storage device accessible to the selected instant messaging point of presence in a consolidated instant messaging chat history.

Maintaining and replicating chat histories

The invention provides an apparatus, system and method for allowing multiple television (TV) sets to communicate with each other in synchronizing their audiovisual signal output (when set to the same TV channel) to allow simultaneous viewing of common programming content.

An elongate spike configuration of air filter for an automotive vehicle includes a cowl arranged to extend parallel to the ram air flow about the vehicle and resulting from movement of the vehicle at speed. The cowl is rotational and is power driven in rotation during operation of the vehicle such as to smooth ram air flow, reducing turbulence and excessive ram air pressure so as to improve running smoothness of the vehicle engine.

Spike air filter apparatus and method

A method and apparatus are disclosed for a thermoplastic profile wall pipe joint or weld assembly without the use of a coupler to provide for a leak free pipe joint with substantially flush interior and exterior surfaces. The pipe joint consists of configuring the two pipe ends to be joined by removing substantially all of a first wall and the helical rib from the first pipe end, removing a portion of the helical rib from the second pipe end, coupling the pipe ends together and heating the weld assembly couple to fusion weld the pipe ends together. An electrical resistance element is provided for and placed within the pipe joint to provide the required heat. Also disclosed is the use of a thermoplastic sheet with the electrical resistance element to allow the end margins of the electrical resistance element to overlap without shorting by separating the end margins radially from one another and to allow for a more uniform fusion welded pipe joint. The resulting joint is a leak free joint with no interior flow obstructions or exterior collars or protrusions without the need for a coupler.

Weldable couple for electrofusion coupling of profile wall thermoplastic

A method and apparatus are disclosed for a thermoplastic pipe joint. The pipe joint consists of a channel machined or routed into each end of the pipes to be joined and a coupler manufactured from substantially the same type of thermoplastic material as the pipes, with an electrical resistance element embedded into the coupler. Application of power to the electrical resistance element raises the temperature of the interface between the coupler the pipe walls causing the thermoplastic material to form a fusion bond between the coupler and the pipes, resulting in a leak free joint with no interior flow obstructions or exterior collars or protrusions. There is also disclosed a method for electrofusion welding solid wall thermoplastic pipes without leaving an interior or exterior obstruction by machining a socket and nipple on the pipes to be joined and adding an electrical resistance element to the nipple.
