Abstract: Non-players can vote and comment on uploaded video clips or livestreams of video games played by video game players. The video game players that upload the clips or do the livestreaming and that then receive the most votes can be awarded digital awards. The non-players providing the best comments can also be awarded digital awards. This incentivizes these behaviors, providing ample training data in the process so that the votes and comments can be used to train a model to make inferences related to video game video. For instance, the model may be trained to provide auto-generated comments in real time as a second video game is played, where the comments are in video game domain-specific language.
Abstract: Event-related data based on an image that has been captured is generated. Coverage information relating to imaging range is compared to the event-related data. The cameras that can capture an image of the event, based on a comparing result, are listed so that an operator can select one of the listed cameras.
Abstract: The technology is generally directed to a coordinated power throttling mechanism for a payload using power provided by a rack such that the rack power does not exceed a threshold amount for greater than a predetermined period of time. The coordinated power throttling mechanism includes the rack providing a power throttling signal to the payload and the payload executing the power throttling upon detection of the throttling signal. The payload may detect the throttling signal and, after a delay, execute the power throttling. The delay may ensure that all payloads within the rack have detected the power throttling signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for opening files on a client device include receiving a request to open a file and identifying a file type pertaining to the file. A list of software applications is identified that are capable of opening the identified file type, and metadata pertaining to each of the software applications on the list is retrieved. User preference data pertaining to a user requesting to open the file is also retrieved. Scores for the software applications on the list are then determined based at least on the metadata and the user preference data. At least one software application on the list is then selected to open the file on the client device based on the determined scores.

Abstract: A system for unweighting a user for an exercise session includes a framework having a plurality of connected frame members defining at least one surface for retaining a treadmill, and a substantially airtight chamber attached the framework extending upward therefrom when inflated. The treadmill has running surface, and the framework has a sealing surface disposed about the running surface. The substantially airtight chamber has an upper chamber portion defining a top opening operable for attachment to the user when extending through the chamber for the exercise session, a lower chamber portion below the upper chamber portion, and a removable sealing assembly securing the lower chamber portion to the upper chamber portion.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Portulaca plant named ‘WGPORMM25’, characterized by its relatively compact, upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; freely branching habit; dense and bushy appearance; early and freely flowering habit; long flowering period; golden orange-colored flowers with dark red-colored centers that remain open for an extended period of time during the daytime; and excellent container and garden performance.
Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms described herein facilitate the capture and coordination of audio and/or video data across connected devices in a communications system. The communications system may include at least two media devices in communication via a network. One of the media devices may be a media application device configured to provide one or more media applications. Another of the media devices may be a media input device configured to capture video and/or audio data. Coordination between a media application and a media input device may be facilitated by a driver layer configured to communicate with the applications.
