Abstract: Embodiments are provided for upgrading operating application in a multi-device ecosystem in a computing environment. Various types of computing devices are determined to be connected to a multi-device computing network. A collaboration plan is generated between the computing devices to execute an operating application operation event on each of the computing devices without interrupting user activities executing on each of the computing devices. Operating applications on each of the computing devices are upgraded according to the collaboration plan without interrupting each of the f user activities on each of the computing devices.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of stimulating a cornea. A non-limiting example of the method includes capturing a sound with a microphone. A non-limiting example of the method also includes transducing the sound to an electric signal by a microprocessor. A non-limiting example of the method also includes stimulating a piezo-electric element adjacent to a receptor of the cornea, wherein the piezo-electric element is positioned on an eye lens with an electric signal. A non-limiting example of the method also includes mechanically stimulating a receptor of the cornea with the stimulated piezo-electric element.
