摘要： A method, a system, and a computer program product for providing a virtual probe, associated with an avatar, which enables blind or sightless navigation of an avatar through a virtual world. The system outputs tactile information and/or audible information that depict the presence of an object in the virtual world, in association with the avatar. When the virtual probe encounters an object in the virtual world the distance between the object and the avatar, a velocity of the object, and the dimensions of the object are determined. The tactile information, such as one or more vibrations, is output proportional to the distance between the object and the avatar and/or the dimension of the object. Audible information is also output in response to the detection of the object. Audible information, such as an audible voice, outputs one or more of the distance between the object and the avatar, the velocity of the object, and the dimensions of the object.

摘要： A computer implemented method, computer program product, and a data processing system determine an excursion corridor within a virtual environment. A time-stamped snapshot of a location of at least one avatar within the virtual universe is recorded. An avatar tracking data structure is then updated. The avatar tracking data structure provides a time-based history of avatar locations within the virtual universe. A weighted density map is generated. The weighted density map is then correlated with virtual object locations. Each virtual object location corresponds to a virtual object. Excursion corridors are identified. The excursion corridor identifies frequently taken routes between the virtual object locations. Waypoints are identified. Each waypoint corresponds to a virtual object. Each waypoint is an endpoint for one of the excursion corridors.

摘要： Programmable logic devices which include multiple blocks of combinatorial function generators and storage elements, and which are interconnected by a programmable interconnect structure are used, among other things for performing arithmetic functions which use logic for generating the carry function. When a large number of bits is to be processed, the carry function typically causes significant delay or requires significant additional components to achieve a result at high speed. The present invention provides dedicated hardware within the logic blocks for performing the carry function quickly and with a minimum number of components. The invention takes advantage of the fact that a carry signal to be added to two bits can be propagated to the next more significant bit when the two binary bits to be added are unequal, and that one of the bits can serve as the carry signal when the bits are equal.

摘要： A configurable logic circuit achieves versatility by including a configurable combinational logic element, a configurable storage circuit, and a configurable output select logic. The input signals to the configurable combinational logic element are input signals to the configurable logic circuit and feedback signals from the storage circuit. The storage circuit may be configured to operate as a D flip flop with or without set and reset inputs, an RS latch, a transparent latch with or without set and reset inputs, or as an edge detector. In conjunction with the combinational logic element, the storage circuit may also operate as a stage of a shift register or counter. The output select logic selects output signals from among the output signals of the combinational logic element and the storage circuit.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for utilizing a dynamic personal dictionary in enhanced collaboration. A comparison is performed for each portion of entered text of the electronic communication with text identified in the dynamic personal dictionary. Responsive to a portion of the entered text matching an entry in the dynamic personal dictionary, the portion of the entered text is marked with an identifier, the identifier indicating that the portion of the entered text has an associated context definition. The electronic communication is then sent to a set of client devices with a set of marked text portions and associated identifiers.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for adapting vocabulary levels in a collaborative session. A vocabulary level indicator is received for a first user in the collaborative session. During generation of an electronic communication by a second user in the collaborative session, text entered in the electronic communication is scanned in order to identify a vocabulary level associated with text. The vocabulary level associated with the text is compared to the vocabulary level indicator for the first user. Responsive to the text exceeding the vocabulary level indicator for the first user thereby indicating violating text, an indication is provided to the second user that the violating text is above a vocabulary level of the first user.
