Abstract: A retractable roof structure has a pair of longitudinally spaced supports, guide wires extending between said supports and positioned to support a covering in a required profile. The covering comprises a plurality of sections arranged in seriatim along the guide wires with each section slidably supported on the guide wires so as to be moveable between an open position in which the area beneath the covering is exposed and a closed position in which the area beneath the covering is covered. A drive member extends between the supports and is connected to one end of each of the sections at a first location to move the one end along the guide wires. A tensile member, such as a rope or cable, extends from the peak of the leading edge of one section to the lower corner of the leading edge of a section along a path so that movement of the peak is transmitted by the tensile member to the eaves to move the section along the eave guide wire in the same direction.

Abstract: A system and method for automatic wrapping bales in a bale wrapper, including placing a bale on a loading table and performing a wrapping cycle. The wrapping cycle including rotating a wrapping hoop to apply a wrapping material to a bale surface, moving a bale pushing device from a first position toward a second position to push the bale through the wrapping hoop, dispensing from a first material applicator and a second material applicator, determining presence of the wrapping material, by a sensor on the wrapping hoop, adjusting based on the determining, a ratio of moving speed to rotational speed of the wrapping hoop, to apply a predetermined amount of wrapping material independent of the presence of wrapping material dispensing, continuing to move the bale pushing device until the second position is reached, stopping the rotation of the wrapping hoop, and moving the bale pushing device to the first position.

Abstract: A device includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute instructions to receive first operator input and generate layers for a map based on the first operator input. The layers include features to indicate whether an Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operator should or could fly a UAV in an airspace corresponding to an area within the map. The processor is also configured to receive second operator input that specifies a path on the map, for a UAV flight.

Abstract: A network-based service is disclosed for disambiguating search queries based on a location-based clustering of search results corresponding to the query. In one embodiment, a user may submit a query for travel items, such as hotel accommodations. The service can determine, based on the query, an initial set of hotels providing such accommodations. The service can then cluster the hotels according to their geographic positions. If the service identifies multiple clusters, the user can be prompted to select a specific cluster to receive additional information regarding the cluster. Illustratively, if a user submits a query for a hotel in “Springfield,” the service may ask the user to select among multiple clusters of results, each corresponding to a different city named “Springfield” in which results have been located.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for creating interactive video content from existing video data and providing the interactive video content to users on consumer devices concurrent with the existing video data being displayed on a broadcasting device.

Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms for calibrating an eye gaze selection system. When the calibration is triggered, a snapshot of an area around the current user's gaze point is taken. The snapshot area is then animated to cause motion of the snapshot area. As the snapshot is animated, the user's gaze will naturally track the thing the user was focusing on. This creates an eye tracking vector with a magnitude and direction. The magnitude and direction of the eye tracking vector can then be used to calculate a correction factor for the current user's gaze point. Calibration can be triggered manually by the user or based on some criteria such as error rates in item selection by the user.

Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and systems are disclosed for saving and retrieving browser-based content or portions thereof for browser-based interactions. Metadata is generated for a selection of a portion or an entire browser page, when a user selects content for the page. The selected content, comprising at least a portion of the browser page, is stored in a database in a remote data store, where the database is indexed by the associated metadata. The selection is presented in a multi-level representation in a user interface (UI) by using the associated metadata to organize the selection(s) in the UI.

Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms for selection of items using eye tracking. One or more primary selection targets are presented to the user. When the user selects a primary selection target, secondary selection targets are presented in close proximity to the primary selection target, either before or after selection of the primary selection target. The secondary selection targets are animated in a way that moves them away from the primary selection target. The user's eye naturally follows the secondary selection target of interest, if any, producing a vector having a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude and direction of the vector are used to identify which, if any, of the secondary selection targets are intended ty the user.

Abstract: A mechanism for automatically organizing electronic messages is described herein. Social groups of a particular user that may be representative of topics, people, projects, and the like can be automatically learned based at least in part upon historical correspondence of the user. Moreover, messages can be automatically prioritized based at least in part upon historical correspondence patterns. Electronic messages may be presented to the user in accordance with group information and how important the messages are to the user.
