摘要： A transmitter transmits a signal to a receiver along a transmission path. The respective positions of the transmitter and the receiver are determined, and notice is received that a moving vehicle is proximate to the transmission path. Responsive to such notice, the moving vehicle position is determined, and such position is used with the transmitter and receiver positions to determine whether the moving vehicle is located between the transmitter and receiver positions. If so, the moving vehicle position is used to calculate the time delay between the times at which first and second components of the transmitted signal are received at the receiver, wherein the first component is transmitted directly to the receiver, and the second component is transmitted to the receiver after reflection from the moving vehicle. The calculated time delay is then used to provide a corrective signal component, which is employed to reduce degradation of the first component caused by the second signal component.

摘要： A system and method detects low grade physical motions of an electronic device, such as a laptop computer, and takes protective measures if the physical motions match a pre-specified physical motion pattern. The pre-specified physical motion pattern may have been selected as a pattern which, if left alone, could cause cumulative damage to the electronic device. Alternatively, the pre-specified motion pattern may have been selected as a pattern which tended to indicate that more aggressive and abrupt movements would be forthcoming. The system and method further detects sustained motion (such as in a laptop bag) such that the laptop may shut-off so that the laptop does not overheat or get damaged. The system and method may be configured such that a system administrator may be notified if laptop is being abused. In a similar manner, the history of the percussive impacts or movements may be kept or logged for future use.

摘要： A method implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code having programming instructions tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium. The programming instructions are operable to receive a current waveform of a communication between a plurality of participants. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to create a voiceprint from the current waveform if the current waveform is of a human voice. Furthermore, the programming instructions are operable to determine one of whether a match exists between the voiceprint and one library waveform of one or more library waveforms, whether a correlation exists between the voiceprint and a number of library waveforms of the one or more library waveforms and whether the voiceprint is unique. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to transcribe the current waveform into text and provide a match indication display (MID) indicating an association between the current waveform and the one or more library waveforms based on the determining.
