Abstract: A hockey skate includes a fiber-reinforced, composite frame, or an injected plastic frame, including a boot form and integral pedestals that serve as a blade-holder. The pedestals are integral with the bottom of the boot sole and are optionally spaced relatively far apart to provide a long span between them. An optional bridge assembly may be used to connect the blade to the pedestals. The bridge assembly may provide increased stiffness and vibration damping, as well as customized fit options.

Abstract: A system and method of generating a player tracking prediction are described herein. A computing system retrieves a broadcast video feed for a sporting event. The computing system segments the broadcast video feed into a unified view. The computing system generates a plurality of data sets based on the plurality of trackable frames. The computing system calibrates a camera associated with each trackable frame based on the body pose information. The computing system generates a plurality of sets of short tracklets based on the plurality of trackable frames and the body pose information. The computing system connects each set of short tracklets by generating a motion field vector for each player in the plurality of trackable frames. The computing system predicts a future motion of a player based on the player's motion field vector using a neural network.

Abstract: The present technology allows for the management and output of audio and visual media at one or more locations, including the direction and display of static and/or dynamic signage, prerecorded and/or live video content, and audio content from one or more output devices, such as various screens, projectors, or display units, including customized direction of such content to multiple screens or display units at multiple locations. It is thereby possible to customize sights and sound for a desired theme or brand and choose from multiple, customizable content options. In this way, one can manage and schedule digital signage solutions across one or more locations using a single management device. Present operation and operation history of one or more media players can be monitored using the management device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for associating a new measurement of an object surrounding a vehicle with a maintained track. One of the methods includes receiving an object track for a particular object, receiving a new measurement characterizing a new object at a new time step, and determining whether the new object is the same as the particular object, comprising: generating a representation of the new object at the new and preceding time steps; generating a representation of the particular object at the new and preceding time steps; processing a first network input comprising the representations using a first neural network to generate an embedding of the first network input; and processing the embedding of the first network input using a second neural network to generate a predicted likelihood that the new object and the particular object are the same.

Abstract: A repeating crossbow having a pump-action reloading mechanism. The crossbow includes an elongated body with a shooting track and a holding chamber configured to house one or more projectiles. A hatch is coupled to the body and configured to move between a first position aligned with the shooting track and a second position at least partially aligned with the holding chamber. A palm rest is slidingly connected to the elongated body. Sliding the palm rest in a rearward direction causes the hatch to move from the first position into the second position. A biasing member within the holding chamber ejects a projectile onto the hatch. Sliding the palm rest in a forward direction to return to its default position causes the hatch to return to its first position, bringing the projectile into alignment with the shooting track.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that construct and execute multi-step query plans in a database application. A database application accepts a query such as, for example, a graph query. The database application generates a physical query plan comprising a set of execution steps that perform the query. The set of execution steps comprises at least an initial step, an intermediate step and a final step. The database executes the query by passing control to the initial step that, when complete, passes execution control to some other step. The intermediate step executes and when complete, may pass execution control to any other step including itself. Steps may be configured to communicate arbitrary data between steps. The generated query plan may also comprise multiple multi-step sequences, and such sequences may be configured to execute in the alternative based on intermediate query results, or a parameter included in the query.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention may relate to a print surface for a three-dimensional object printer. The print surface may comprise an elastic first layer, a binding layer for securing the printing surface to the three-dimensional object printer; and an adhesive layer for adhering the first layer to the binding layer. Three-dimensional objects are printed onto the first layer by controlled extrusion of molten material. Printed objects can be obtained by decoupling the binding layer from the three-dimensional object printer and detaching the object from the first layer by applying bending moments.
