Abstract:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates replicating a telepresence session with a real world physical meeting. A telepresence session can be initiated within a communication framework that includes two or more virtually represented users that communicate therein. A trigger component can monitor the telepresence session in real time to identify a participant interaction with an object, wherein the object is at least one of a real world physical object or a virtually represented object within the telepresence session. A feedback component can implement a force feedback to at least one participant within the telepresence session based upon the identified participant interaction with the object, wherein the force feedback is employed via a device associated with at least one participant.
Abstract:
Storing and retrieving beacon reference data in a truncated cuckoo hash table. Checksums of beacon identifiers associated with beacons are used to retrieve beacon reference data describing locations of the beacons in a hash table. The data is stored in one or more hash tables by cuckoo hashing to eliminate aliasing. The hash tables are provided to devices such as mobile devices. The devices retrieve the beacon reference data from the tables based using beacon identifiers of observed beacons. Location information for the devices is inferred using the retrieved beacon reference data. The cuckoo hash tables consume less memory storage space and obfuscate the beacon reference data.
Abstract:
A particular method includes receiving a request from a client at a server and sending a global traffic management identifier in response to the request from the client. The global traffic management identifier is determined based on an attribute of the client. In response to the client requesting access to a service based on a modified hostname of the service, a data center associated with the service is identified based on the modified hostname of the service. The modified hostname identifies the global traffic management identifier, and the identified data center is useable by the client to access the service.
Abstract:
Optical position input systems and methods determine positions of at least one pointing objects within an active touch area. At least three imager modules form images of at least one pointing objects within the active touch area. A processor computes a position of each of the at least one pointing object based upon the images formed by the at least three imager modules.
Abstract:
The described implementations relate to distributed network management and more particularly to enhancing distributed network utility. One technique selects multiple trees to distribute content to multiple receivers in a session where individual receivers can receive the distributed content at one of a plurality of rates. The technique further adjustably allocates content distribution across the multiple trees to increase a sum of utilities of the multiple receivers.
Abstract:
Provided herein in certain embodiments are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for modulating the functions of estrogen receptor alpha 36, for preventing and/or treating diseases related to estrogen receptor alpha 36, for preventing and/or treating respiratory diseases such as asthma, for inducing cell death and/or inhibiting cell proliferation and for preventing and/or treating diseases involving abnormal cell proliferation such as cancers.
Abstract:
The subject disclosure is directed towards a data deduplication technology in which a hash index service's index and/or indexing operations are adaptable to balance deduplication performance savings, throughput and resource consumption. The indexing service may employ hierarchical chunking using different levels of granularity corresponding to chunk size, a sampled compact index table that contains compact signatures for less than all of the hash index's (or subspace's) hash values, and/or selective subspace indexing based on similarity of a subspace's data to another subspace's data and/or to incoming data chunks.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a reduction-oxidation furnace for thermally refining phosphorus. The reduction-oxidation furnace comprises a furnace body and a blow gun, wherein the furnace body has a slag outlet, a fume outlet, and a melt inlet for feeding melts formed by melting rock phosphate into the furnace body and wherein the blow gun has an end inserted into the furnace body. The content of impurities in fumes containing phosphorus pentaoxide is low, the phosphorus pentaoxide can be easily extracted with a high purity of the phosphorus pentaoxide and at low cost by means of the reduction-oxidation furnace for thermally refining phosphorus according to the present invention.

Abstract:
A fluid storage unit suitable for a tankless solar heater system. The storage unit has an elongated cylindrical hollow vessel having a sealing ring fit within an open end of the vessel abuting a ridge formed on the vessel and a cover attached to the open end of the vessel and abutting the ring to compress it against the ridge to form a fluid tight seal between the cover and the vessel.
