Abstract:
In an embodiment, present application describes a system and method to detect the alignment of multiple clocks in multi-clock domains system. In some variations, multiple clocks are derived from one or more reference clocks using various PLLs. The derived clocks maintain frequency relationship with the reference clock. In some variations, a relationship between the frequencies of various clocks is used to generate the alignment signals in the domain of one of the clocks.
Glitch Free Programmable Delay Line For Edge Sensitive Design

International Classification:
G06F017/50
US Classification:
716/006000
Abstract:
A programmable delay line is introduced that produces a delayed signal that is glitch free and without metastability conditions. The programmable delay line includes a synchronizer circuit and a programmable delay circuit. The synchronizer circuit is configured to receive an input signal and one or more control signals. The synchronizer circuit synchronizes the one or more control signals to the input signal, producing one or more synchronized control signals. The programmable delay circuit is configured to utilizing the synchronized control signals to add an amount of delay to the input signal, producing a delayed version of the input signal that is glitch free and without metastability conditions. The control signals control the amount of delay added to the input signal based on, for example, process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations.

Abstract:
A presentation state that includes a presentation and other information is synchronized between one or more client computers executing a presentation client application. A client computer executing the presentation client application receives the presentation state, including the presentation, and is assigned a role. The client computer then provides a user interface (“UI”) for viewing and interacting with the presentation that is based upon the assigned role. The role might be a projector role, a presenter role, an attendee role, a moderator role, a notetaker role, or another type of role. The UI might also be customized for the particular type of client computer that it is displayed upon.

International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709206, 709204
Abstract:
A system is provided for enabling attendees of an online broadcast within a collaborative environment to interact with multimedia content during the online broadcast. By rendering the content itself instead of images derived from the content that cannot be interacted with, attendees are enabled to either drive their own multimedia experience, including play, seek, pause/stop, or follow the presenter and consume the multimedia based on the presenter's action (play, pause, stop, seek). The multimedia content may be rendered on each attendee's individual client device through local caching, which contributes to playback quality such that each individual attendee may be able to interact with and control the playback experience of the multimedia content independently.
Dynamic Server-Side Image Sizing For Fidelity Improvements

International Classification:
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
715234
Abstract:
Dynamically-generated images sized according to a requesting web client application display resolution are provided. The client application may calculate a target display resolution and pass the target display resolution as an input parameter with a request to a server for application content. The server may use the desired size input parameter to determine an optimal image size for the target display resolution. The server may render the application content as one or more images to the optimal image size and send the rendered image(s) to the client application. A determination may be made by the client application to display the image(s) at the size received or to scale the server-provided image(s). If the available area in the client application pane changes, the client application may recalculate the target display resolution and issue a new request to the server with the new target display resolution as the desired size input parameter.

A system and method for personalizing a display of a recommendation in a user interface element of an application is described. The system accesses application activities of a user of the application. A user preference is formed based on the application activities. The system identifies a context of a current activity of the application and generates a content recommendation in the application based on the context of the current activity of the application and the user preference.
