Abstract: In some embodiments, reducing utilization of computational resources associated with segmenting datasets via a cluster-ensemble model may be facilitated. In some embodiments, the system may receive a raw dataset having a first dimension. The system may then embed the raw dataset into an embedded dataset having a second dimension, where the embedded dataset comprises a vector embedding. The system may then provide the embedded dataset to a set of clustering models to generate a set of clusters, where each cluster of the set of clusters corresponds to a respective clustering model of the set of clustering models. The system may provide the set of clusters to a cluster-ensemble model to generate a set of ensemble-clusters. Based on the set of ensemble-clusters, the system may generate a set of data segments corresponding to the set of ensemble-clusters indicating at least one characteristic of a respective ensemble-cluster of the set of ensemble-clusters.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a play prediction for a team is disclosed herein. A computing system retrieves trajectory data for a plurality of plays from a data store. The computing system generates a predictive model using a variational autoencoder and a neural network by generating one or more input data sets, learning, by the variational autoencoder, to generate a plurality of variants for each play of the plurality of plays, and learning, by the neural network, a team style corresponding to each play of the plurality of plays. The computing system receives trajectory data corresponding to a target play. The predictive model generates a likelihood of a target team executing the target play by determining a number of target variants that correspond to a target team identity of the target team.

Abstract: In some implementations, a language proficiency of a user of a client device is determined by one or more computers. The one or more computers then determines a text segment for output by a text-to-speech module based on the determined language proficiency of the user. After determining the text segment for output, the one or more computers generates audio data including a synthesized utterance of the text segment. The audio data including the synthesized utterance of the text segment is then provided to the client device for output.

Abstract: Conventional vehicle lifts typically operate at a standard speed that is statically configured for the system, which may result in vehicles that are below the weight rating for the lift being raised at the standard speed while the lift motor is capable of safely raising at greater speeds. A set of lift controls may be configured to determine the load on the motor by a vehicle of an unknown weight during operation at a standard lift speed and use such information to determine a potential speed that the motor may raise the vehicle at while staying within safe operational levels for the motor. One or more of a magnitude of electrical power drawn, a pressure generated by a hydraulic lifting, or a sensed vehicle weight may be used to provide an indication of load on the motor and/or a higher potential speed.

Abstract: The broad view headlamp includes a plurality of light sources that illuminate an area in front of the headlamp, an area adjacent to each side of the headlamp, and an area below the headlamp. The headlamp includes a number of lighting modes, such that any one of the light sources can be operated individually or in combination with any one or more of the remaining light sources. The headlamp housing has multiple lighting compartments, each having one or more light sources disposed therein. Each compartment includes an optical lens. The various light sources, together with the optical lenses, allow the headlamp to illuminate a view area extending to, at least, the outer boundaries of the far peripheral vision of the human eye, i.e., 110 degrees to the right and left of center. Thus, the total combined view area illuminated by the headlamp is at least 220 degrees.

Abstract: A multi-path charger having multiple controllable current sources connected in parallel, each current source is in series with its own current sensor, and both are dimensioned based on the maximum power and current divided by the number of the controlled current sources. The number of used current sources depends on the load. With a light load, only one current source is on while the rest is turned off. As the load increases, more current sources are switched on to supply power to the load. By that, the power efficiency and current measurement accuracy are significantly improved with a light load. Moreover, the multi-path charger can be used with multi-output with each output supplied by several parallel current sources.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to generation of verifiable FIDO security keys based on hierarchically generated child keys from an extended security key pair, wherein the extended public key is stored on a verification server of the account issuing entity. In the described implementation, child FIDO key pair are hierarchically derived from an extended private/public key pair. A public key provided during a FIDO registration can be securely tied to a user identity based on verification of FIDO registration data by the issuing server using the corresponding extended public key. Accordingly, a FIDO public key is linked to a thoroughly vetted user identity, during the registration process, without an authentication action from the user. The disclosed systems and methods further enable a re-issued FIDO authenticator device to perform FIDO transactions with FIDO services previously registered against the replaced authenticator device.
