Abstract: In a method for authenticating a current user of a near field communication (NFC) device, a profile for an authorized user of the NFC device is established based on data received from one or more sensors of the NFC device over a first period of time. Responsive to a request for a payment transaction, a profile for the current user of the NFC device is established based on data received from the one or more sensors over a second period of time after the first period of time. The profile for the current user is compared with the profile for the authorized user. A determination is made as to whether one or more values in the profile for the current user are within a range of one or more values in the profile for the authorized user at a confidence level.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments include a method, system, and computer program product for collaborative near-miss accident reporting. A computer receives, from a source among several sources, data relating to a near-miss accident. The computer determines whether the data relating to the near-miss accident is indicative of an event whose information should be distributed. The computer distributes, responsive to the determining being affirmative, near-miss accident information corresponding to the data relating to the near-miss accident.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically adjusting the operating parameters of a rate-adaptive cardiac pacemaker. In accordance with the method, maximum exertion levels attained by the patient are measured at periodic intervals and stored. The stored maximum exertion levels may then be used to update a long-term maximal exertion level, and the slope of the rate-response curve is adjusted to map the updated long-term maximal exertion level to a maximum allowable pacing rate. The stored maximum exertion levels may also be used to update a sensor target rate which is used to adjust the slope of the rate response curve.

Abstract: A number of features for enhancing the performance of a communication system, in which data is transmitted between a base station and a plurality of subscriber stations located different distances from the base station, are presented. The power transmission level, slot timing, and equalization of the subscriber stations are set by a ranging process. Data is transmitted by the subscriber stations in fragmented form. Various measures are taken to make transmission from the subscriber stations robust. The uplink data transmission is controlled to permit multiple access from the subscriber stations.

Abstract: A mechanism for determining an optimal compression technique for each data file when creating a computer archive file from a set of data files. A local archiving application receives an instruction to archive a set of data files and determines the file type and size of a data file in the set of data files. An optimal compression method for the data file is selected based on the file type and size of the data file. The archiving application compresses the data file using the optimal compression method. The archiving application updates meta data associated with the compressed file to include a meta compression format identifier of the optimal compression method used to compress the data file. The archiving application then repeats the determining, selecting, compressing, and updating for each data file in the set of data files to create an archive of the set of data files.

Abstract: A method, program product and system are provided for optimizing recording requests to minimize electricity usage for a network of DVRs. The disclosed methodology analyzes upcoming recording requests against a schedule guide including both local and networked DVRs. Overlaps in requested recordings and broadcasts during same or close proximity time slots are identified. Requested recordings are then rescheduled to optimally overlap recording times based upon the number of tuners in each DVR system. Changes in recording schedules are then communicated to other interconnected DVRs in a network.

Abstract: A method controls a functional element of an ear-level device of a type including a functional element, a memory, a microphone and a speaker, each coupled to a processor. Communication between the ear-level device and a companion device, such as a mobile phone, is established. A functional element for control is selected through the user interface of the companion device. A control instruction for controlling the selected functional element is chosen using the user interface and is transmitted from the companion device to the ear-level device to provide instruction to the ear-level device to control the selected functional element in the chosen way.

Abstract: An addressable device receives a user-characterized rewind description. The addressable device stores the user-characterized rewind description. The addressable device renders an at least one media file to include a resume point of the at least one media file. The addressable device receives a command to preferentially rewind. The addressable device, responsive to receiving the command to preferentially rewind, re-renders the at least one media file to the user-characterized rewind description such that the display shows the at least one media file at a replay point of the media file at least the user-characterized rewind description prior to the resume point.
