Abstract: Determination of an acoustic filter for incorporating local effects of room modes within a target area is presented herein. A model of the target area is determined based in part on a three-dimensional virtual representation of the target area. In some embodiments, the model is selected from a group of candidate models. Room modes of the target area are determined based on a shape and/or dimensions of the model. The room mode parameters are determined based on at least one of the room modes and the position of a user within the target area. The room mode parameters describe an acoustic filter that as applied to audio content, simulates acoustic distortion at the position of the user and at frequencies associated with the at least one room mode. The acoustic filter is generated at a headset based on the room mode parameter and is used to present audio content.

Abstract: A system and method for electronically sharing and purchasing memorabilia and merchandise with real-time social networking features are provided. The system allows users to access, via a web-based platform, items of memorabilia and/or merchandise, to exchange and share information relating to such items, and to purchase such items. The system also includes a real-time comment platform which integrates with third-party social networking platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, etc.), and automatically publishes comments from the platform of the system to such third-party systems. Additionally, the system automatically generates comment identifiers (e.g., hashtags, etc.) that are specific to an item of memorabilia/merchandise, and automatically publishes the identifiers to one or more of the third-party social networking platforms. Still further, the system automatically, in real time, gathers comments posted on such external systems and integrates same into comments posted on the system.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a pair of support members, a cable, a rolling mechanism, a tackling bag and a pulley device. The pair of support members are fixedly coupled to a surface. The cable is attached to and extends between the pair of support members. The rolling mechanism is connected to the cable and configured to traverse the cable from a first end of the cable toward a second end of the cable. The tackling bag is attached to the rolling mechanism and configured to be propelled from one of the pair of support members toward the other of the pair of support members. The pulley device is coupled to the rolling mechanism and attached to the tackling bag. The pulley device is separated from the cable when the tackling bag is propelled from the one of the pair of support members toward the other of the pair of support members.

Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle comprises identifying a first detected position of a trailer coupler in the sensor data and identifying a trajectory range of a hitch of the vehicle based on a steering angle range of the vehicle. In response to the first detected position being outside the trajectory range, the method may continue by calculating a nearby position within the trajectory range based on the trajectory range. The method further comprises maneuvering the vehicle aligning the hitch with the nearby position.

Abstract: A method of playing a board game includes a game board arranged as a grid. The board is set up before play where certain playing squares include first or second indicia such that respective numbered tiles with matching indicia may be randomly placed on the certain playing squares. Players may then perform a series turns placing tiles having a third indicia on the board in a single straight line using at least one of the numbered tiles already placed on the board. The tiles must create one or more linear sequences wherein the sum of the numbered tiles within each linear sequence equals a predetermined value. Points are awarded to the player based at least in part on the number of linear sequences created during the turn. The winner may be the player with the highest total awarded points at the end of the game. Other aspects are also provided.
