Abstract: In a method for providing adaptive audio guidance, determining, by one or more processors, a route of a computing device, wherein the route is from an initial location of the computing device to a destination. Determining, by one or more processors, an estimated time of arrival at which the computing device would arrive at the destination. Prompting, by one or more processors, a user to input a desired arrival time. Determining, by one or more processors, whether to provide audio guidance based on a determination of whether the estimated time of arrival is within a pre-determined time period before the desired arrival time.

Abstract: A method includes micro-machining a cavity within a substrate, filling the cavity with a medication, forming a sealing layer over the cavity, micro-machining a cantilevered beam from a layer of material, the cantilevered beam comprising a tip for puncturing the sealing layer, and attaching the cantilevered beam to the substrate such that moving the cantilevered beam toward the substrate enables the tip to puncture the sealing layer. A computer program product corresponding to the method is also disclosed. An apparatus includes a substrate having a cavity micro-machined therein, a sealing layer formed over the cavity, a medication disposed within the cavity, a cantilevered beam micro-machined from a layer of material, the cantilevered beam comprising a tip for puncturing the sealing layer, and the cantilevered beam attached to the substrate and disposed to enable the tip to puncture the sealing layer when the cantilevered beam is moved towards the substrate.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for product compatibility determination is provided. The method includes determining information associated with monitored usage patterns of an environment for a new product, prior to purchasing the new product, and comparing specifications associated with the new product to the monitored usage patterns of the environment for the new product. The method further includes determining whether the specifications are within a threshold of the monitored usage patterns of the environment and in determining the specifications associated with the new product are not within the threshold of the monitored usage patterns of the environment, generating at least one recommendation.

Abstract: For online searching, data of a user activity is analyzed where the user activity occurs at an application other than a search application and the search application is used for the online searching. In response to the analyzing, a topic of interest of the user is identified. A search term input is detected at the search application. A subject of the search term is identified. The search term is modified using a modifier. The modifier is a term related to the topic of interest, and the online searching occurs in response to the modified search term.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems to analyze wearable technology. A robot with snake assembly works in conjunction with a server in order to simulate the locomotive actions of appendages and to concomitantly determine the response of wearable technology devices, which are attached to the snake robot assembly, to the simulated locomotive actions.

Abstract: A method and system for determining measures of cell phone coverage along a travel route. Received are: a specification of a travel destination by a road vehicle, a projected starting time for a user to begin travel along the travel route from a starting location of the vehicle to the travel destination, and a telephone carrier service for the cell phone. Measures of cell phone coverage along the travel route are determined and include: (i) amounts of dropped calls by the telephone carrier service in areas along the travel route in which the telephone carrier service provides cell phone coverage, (ii) a quality of cell phone service by the telephone carrier service, correlated to time of day, along the travel route, or (iii) both the amounts of dropped calls and the quality of cell phone service. The measures of cell phone coverage along the travel route are displayed.

Abstract: In an approach to managing racks in a MAID system, a first rack of a data center is identified. The data center comprises a plurality of racks. The first rack corresponds to a request. The request is one of (i) a request to change a power status of a storage device of the first rack or (ii) a request to service the first rack. An optimal placement of the plurality of racks is calculated to satisfy a condition of the request. One or more of the racks are moved from a first location to a second location, based on the calculated optimal placement of the one or more racks.

Abstract: A method and system for relaying a sensor communication to a central monitoring system by utilizing a crowdsourcing model. The method includes: obtaining a registered device through crowdsourcing; registering the registered device into a central monitoring system; configuring the registered device to communicate with a plurality of road management sensors and with the central monitoring system; monitoring and gathering location information of the registered device by the central monitoring system; transmitting, via the central monitoring system, a request to gather a sensor communication from a sensor to the registered device; executing the request, via the registered device, by capturing the sensor communication emitted from the sensor, wherein the sensor communication is emitted using a passive radio-frequency identification tag; and relaying at least a part of the sensor communication from the registered device to the central monitoring system.

Abstract: In an approach for notifying a user of a location of a device, a processor receives a first location of a first device. A processor determines that the first device has been separated from a user of the first device. A processor determines a second device located at, within a first predetermined threshold, the first location. A processor sends a first notification to the second device, wherein the notification includes, at least, that the first device is located nearby.
