Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for performing shadowing utilizing shadow maps and ray tracing. In operation, one or more shadow maps are rendered for at least one light source. Additionally, low confidence pixels associated with the one or more shadow maps are determined. Furthermore, shadow rays associated with the low confidence pixels are traced.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided to solve these and other problems and disadvantages of the prior art. A list of work items is received. A work item can be anything that a user may work on such as an email, an incoming call in a contact center, a trouble ticket, and the like. A user is identified to work on the list of work items. A virtual setting is created based on the list of work items and the user. The virtual setting includes a virtual list of work items that represents the list of work items and a user avatar that represents the user. The user can select a work item from the virtual list of work items. The user is then presented with the work item. For example, if the work item is an email, the email will be presented. The user can then process the work item.
Abstract:
A computer includes a processor and a memory storing data and executable instructions to operate a municipal financial guaranty mutual insurance company. The processor processes the data and executable instructions to track insurance premiums paid by members of the municipal financial guaranty mutual insurance company, monitor private investment capital into a holding firm, follow the investment of a first subset of the private investment capital of the holding firm into the municipal financial guaranty mutual insurance company in exchange for first promissory notes, track a second subset of the private investment capital of the holding firm into a reinsurance firm, follow the investment of a segment of the second subset of the private investment capital of the reinsurance firm into the municipal financial guaranty mutual insurance company in exchange for second promissory notes, and manage reinsurance firm first loss claims from the municipal financial guaranty mutual insurance company.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a microphone coupler and coupler system for a communication device. The microphone coupler comprises a conduit having an internal channel therein, a distal end, a proximal end, a first opening in the distal end connecting to the internal channel and a second opening in the proximal end connecting to the internal channel, the conduit being attachable to a printed circuit board of the communication device over an opening in the printed circuit board with the second opening mating to the opening and with the distal end of the coupler extending towards an end of the printed circuit board. The coupler has a microphone having a port that is mounted on the printed circuit board and the port is aligned with the opening in the printed circuit board.

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a microphone coupler and coupler system for a communication device. The system comprises: a printed circuit board; a microphone having a port facing towards the printed circuit board and aligned with an opening through the printed circuit board; and a microphone coupler for the microphone. The coupler comprises: a conduit having an internal channel therein, a distal end, a proximal end, a first opening in the distal end connecting to the internal channel and a second opening in the proximal end connecting to the internal channel. In the system, the proximal end of the coupler is locatable about the opening of the printed circuit board to have the second opening mated to the opening of the printed circuit board; and the distal end of the coupler extends towards an end of the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
The invention provides a communication device comprising: a cover; a printed circuit board; a microphone on the printed circuit board; an antenna located at least in part within the cover; and a RF shield can shaped to fit over the microphone about the PCB. In the device, the cover is shaped to enclose the PCB and the RF shield can. The cover provides pressure on the RF shield can to press inward on the microphone to fixedly attach it to the PCB.
