The document summarizes a presentation given by Andrea Tosi of Gazzetta.it titled "Start Printing Sound!" at the Media Port session on digital innovations from October 10-12, 2011 in Vienna. The presentation discusses how adding speech capabilities to websites and mobile apps can increase their usage by allowing content to be read aloud on smaller screens or by users with disabilities. It provides examples of how Gazzetta.it implemented speech features, such as a "Listen" button and downloadable mp3s on their website and a "Tap & Listen" option in their mobile app. The speaker argues this creates a new audio distribution channel for content with minimal effort.

Voip
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) uses digital technology to make voice calls over the internet instead of traditional phone lines. It allows users to save money on phone calls, make video calls, access their phone number anywhere in the world, and make calls to landlines and mobiles for a fee. However, VOIP phones require power, can be hard to locate during emergencies, and may experience latency issues. Popular VOIP services include Skype, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, and AOL Messenger.
Socialisation networks 1
The document summarizes different methods of socialization and communication over time:
1) Landlines provided a physical connection but lacked mobility and could experience issues, leading to the rise of mobile phones.
2) Mobile phones allowed constant contact and apps but were expensive and raised privacy concerns.
3) VoIP used internet protocol for voice calls and had low costs but relied on internet and had quality issues.
4) Skype is free software that allows voice/video calls and messaging over internet, saving money compared to other options. It requires an internet connection and computer to make calls.

EECS 441 iPhone Messages App Presentation
Messages is the built-in text and video messaging client that is bundled with every iPhone. It has a conversation view that makes messages easy to read but requires lots of scrolling. While it is fully integrated, simple to use, and the default option, it can be difficult to call or save contacts from conversations. Suggested improvements include adding buttons to call or add contacts directly from conversations and adding more sorting options. Overall the prognosis for Messages is positive since it is the pre-installed default option and replacing it would require extra effort.

Video conferencing allows people at different locations to communicate simultaneously through two-way video and audio. It has several typical features including full duplex voice communication, text chat, streaming video exchange, whiteboard sharing, file transfer, and application sharing. The main advantages of video conferencing are significant travel savings, improved communication through visual cues, increased productivity through shorter more effective meetings and collaborative tools, and conferencing quality is improving with advances in technology.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.TrustArc Webinar - 2024 Global Privacy Survey
