Abstract: In particular embodiments, a method includes identifying a particular show being viewed on a first display device by a user and determining that a commercial break occurs within the particular show being viewed on the first display device. The method further includes determining a second display device associated with the user and providing targeted content for display on the second display device during the commercial break that is being displayed on the first display device. The targeted content includes content that is related to the particular show in which the commercial break occurs.

Abstract: A method for synthesizing carbon nanocages, including N-doped carbon nanocages, includes a first step of forming a solution including a metal salt and an organic carbon source; a second step of drying the solution to obtain a precursor powder; and a third step of annealing the precursor powder to obtain a nanocage including a metal nanoparticle surrounded by a carbon shell. The metal nanoparticle is then removed from the carbon shell by applying an acid solution.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can notify a media application when a screen recording may be in progress. For example, the computing device can be configured to send media content provided by the media application for presentation on the display of the computing device to a second destination (e.g., a file, a remote playback device, a remote recording device, etc.) that may result in a recording of the display screen of the computing device. To allow the media application an opportunity to protect the media content from unauthorized recording, the computing device can notify the media application that the media content being sent to the second destination may be recorded. In response to receiving the notification, the media application can modify the presentation of the media content to prevent or downgrade any recording that may be performed.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for identifying multiple sections from one or more tracks of a media file and reading them together in a consumption-driven pipeline process. A render pipeline may comprise a sample generator, a sample buffer, and a destination buffer. Multiple render pipelines may be used for parsing multiple tracks of the media file. An I/O manager may determine that a destination buffer requires new data. The I/O manager may schedule a memory read for a data element from the sample buffer corresponding to the destination buffer and may determine if any of the sample buffers have data elements with memory locations close to the scheduled read. If so, the I/O manager may also schedule those memory locations to be read. After reading, the filled data elements corresponding to the read memory may then be sent to their corresponding destination buffers to be consumed and added to their corresponding tracks.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to detect a concept reflected in a first media content item to which a user is provided access. It is determined that the concept has a threshold level of relevance to the user. The concept is associated with an element that upon selection causes a transition to a second media content item to which the user is provided access, the second media content item reflecting the concept. The element is presented in the first media content item for the user.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus, comprising a processor configured to associate a first virtual screen with a first user identity receive input for transitioning from the first virtual screen to a second virtual screen, and associate the second virtual screen with a second user identity based at least in part on the input is disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify one or more objects depicted in a camera view of a camera application displayed on a display of a user device. An augmented reality overlay is determined based on the one or more objects identified in the camera view. The camera view is modified based on the augmented reality overlay.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a set of media content items based on at least one search query. The set of media content items can be ranked based on information associated with one or more media content items in the set of media content items to produce a ranked set of media content items. The ranked set of media content items can be provided for sequential video presentation. A set of image frame previews can be selected for at least some media content items in the ranked set. Each image frame preview in the set of image frame previews can be selected based on a respective confidence score associated with viewer interest. One or more image frame previews, out of the set of image frame previews, can be provided during media navigation associated with the sequential video presentation.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a plurality of content items. Tag information is generated for each content item of the plurality of content items. The tag information comprises one or more tags, and at least one tag for each content item is generated based on a machine learning technique. Query information is received from a first user. One or more content items of the plurality of content items is identified based on the query information and the tag information.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a dual axis solar panel structure for photovoltaic (PV) panel which facilitates tracking of sunlight with minimum effort and power. The present invention comprises a base frame assembly (1), middle frame assembly (2) and a top frame assembly (3). The bearing arrangement is such that on mounting of the a middle frame assembly (2) on the base frame assembly (1), the entire axial load of the of the structure carrying the Photovoltaic (PV) panels is transmitted to the axial bearing/thrust bearing (8) and the radial load to the bush bearings (5). This arrangement facilitates operation of the daily movement/azimuth angle slewing drive (4) with a motor of less capacity resulting in savings in the power required for the daily movement/azimuth angle slewing drive (4).
