Abstract
In an approach to generating blockchain smart contracts, one or more computer processors receive a request for a service from a user. The one or more computer processors extract one or more features from the request. The one or more computer processors determine one or more smart contract templates associated with the request based, at least in part, on the extracted one or more features. The one or more computer processors receive one or more responses to the request from one or more service providers. The one or more computer processors generate a draft smart contract based, at least in part on the determined one or more smart contract templates and the one or more received responses.

Abstract
A mechanism is provided for secure automated parcel delivery. A first device owned and controlled by a recipient entity to whom a physical item is being delivered receives a delivery communication code. The recipient entity and through the first device determines a delivery policy data set indicative of a manner in which the physical item is to be delivered. Responsive to the detection that the physical item is being delivered to a designated delivery zone where the physical item will be received by the recipient entity, the first device wirelessly authenticates to a second. device controlled by a sender entity using the delivery communication code. Responsive to the authentication of the first device to the second device, the first device wirelessly communicates to the second device the delivery policy data set.

Abstract
A method, executed by a computer, includes prompting a user to speak an utterance comprising one or more words, recording a user speaking the utterance to produce recorded speech, converting the recorded speech to recognition data, and selecting a next utterance based on the recognition data and personality information for the user. The next utterance may be selected from a library of utterances. Selecting a next utterance may include selecting an action such as repeating, rephrasing, contrasting, elaborating, summarizing, providing a different context, and adjusting a difficulty level. A computer system and computer program product corresponding to the above method are also disclosed herein.

Abstract
A first list that includes a first set of one or more concept terms may be obtained. The first set of one or more concept terms may be candidates for being conceptually related to a seed concept term. Prior to the obtaining, a first client computing device may provide a first plurality of individual characters and the seed concept term to a first user using the first client computing device. The first client computing device may prompt the first user to generate the first set of one or more concept terms that are conceptually related to the seed concept term using one or more of the first plurality of individual characters. In response to the obtaining, one or more particular categories to which each of the first set of one or more concept terms belongs to may be determined.

cognitive architecture, cognitive computing, cognition, multimedia, computer science
Abstract
A method for controlled sharing, in a cognitive computing system having a memory and a processor, of content from a variety of content providers may include receiving, by the cognitive computing system, an inquiry, wherein the inquiry is directed to at least one content topic. The method may then include identifying, by the cognitive computing system, the at least one content topic, and determining that a cognitive component of the cognitive computing system managed by a content provider has access to a content repository addressing the at least one content topic. The method may further include distributing, by the cognitive computing system, the inquiry to the cognitive component. The method may additionally include receiving a response from the cognitive component.
TECHNIQUES FOR ROTATING LANGUAGE PREFERRED ORIENTATION ON A MOBILE DEVICE

mobile device, human computer interaction, multimedia, computer science
Abstract
Techniques presented herein describe rotating text content rendered on a mobile device to a preferred orientation based on the mobile device orientation and language of the text content. A display tool executing on the mobile device detects an orientation of the mobile device changing from a first orientation to a second orientation. The mobile device currently displays the characters in the text content according to the first orientation. The display tool determines that the text content is written in a specified language. The display tool re-renders the display of the characters in the text content and any accompanying images according to the second orientation.

Abstract
A technique for caching evidence for answering questions in a cache memory of a data processing system (that is configured to answer questions) includes receiving a first question. The first question is analyzed to identify a first set of characteristics of the first question. A first set of evidence for answering the first question is loaded into the cache memory. A second question is received. The second question is analyzed to identify a second set of characteristics of the second question. A portion of the first set of evidence, whose expected usage in answering the second question is below a determined threshold, is unloaded from the cache memory.
Wiring-optimal method to route high performance clock nets satisfying electrical and reliability constraints
Kozhaya, Joseph N and Restle, Phillip J and Shan, David Wen-Hao
US Patent 8,863,066
Abstract
High performance clock distributions and similar wiring networks require improvements in reliability and performance. This is especially true when hierarchical wiring with different metal thicknesses is employed and when a smaller number of large, higher-power buffers are used to reduce timing variability. Routing of critical nets improves robustness, reliability, and resistance while minimizing track and power usage. The method further optimizes the ...

Abstract
A method (400) of determining widths (W) and/or routes of I/O power routes (112) between one or more power distribution networks (108) and a plurality of I/O circuits (104) based on IR drop, electromigration, and electrostatic discharge electrical requirements. The method includes initially routing the I/O power routes and then iteratively analyzing the I/O power routes and iteratively incrementing the width of each power route that fails one or more of the electrical requirements until all power routes meet all electrical requirements. Once all power routes meet the electrical requirements, power routing is performed again to re-route any power routes as necessary to accommodate their wider widths. The method may be implemented in system (300) that includes a power routing tool (304), an electrical analysis tool (308), and a tool integrator (312) that implements an integrated power routing algorithm (316).
