Abstract: A method receives a manifest for video requested by a client device. The manifest including links for different versions of the video for the client device to use to request segments of the different versions of the video based on conditions detected by the client device. A placeholder in the manifest is selected based on a configuration specifying the placeholder as a trigger to insert alternate content into the manifest. The method then selects a metadata payload based on the configuration specifying the placeholder and a source of the metadata payload and dynamically inserts the metadata payload into the manifest at a position based on the placeholder. The metadata payload is added with an identifier from the configuration that identifies the metadata payload to the client device. The manifest is outputted with the metadata payload for use by the client device while playing the video.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and controllers for detecting and mitigating well screen outs may include a controller configured to operate a fracturing pump to supply fluid at a discharge rate to a wellhead at a fracturing well site. The controller may also operate a blender positioned to deliver a blend of proppant and fluid to the fracturing pump. The controller may compare a fluid pressure increase rate to a preselected increase rate indicative of a potential well screen out. The controller may incrementally decrease the discharge rate of the fracturing pump and a flow rate of a blender when the fluid pressure increase rate of the wellhead exceeds the preselected increase rate and the fluid pressure is within a preselected percentage of a maximum wellhead pressure until the fluid pressure of the fluid supplied to the wellhead is stabilized.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating advanced feedback for draft messages using a language model are disclosed. Prior messages, along with corresponding reactions, may be incorporated into an AI prompt that is processed by a language model to generate an output payload. The output payload is processed to generate custom profiles for users that have provided the reactions to the messages. At runtime, while a draft message is being composed within a messaging application, the data from the draft message (and message thread where applicable) are received. The custom profiles for recipients of the draft message are then retrieved from the database of custom profiles. The data from the draft message as well as the retrieved custom profiles are incorporated into another AI prompt that is processed by the language model to produce another output payload. The output payload is post-processed to extract advanced feedback for the draft message.

In another aspect, a method for preparing a multipurpose process chemical includes the steps of obtaining an imidazoline synthesized from a fatty acid; combining the imidazoline with a cyclic carbonate to form a mixture; and heating the mixture at approximately 80° C. to synthesize the at least one adduct from the imidazoline and the cyclic carbonate.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to the construction of handgrips and the method of assembly onto a handlebar. In one disclosed embodiment, the handgrip comprises a substrate configured to receive a clamp, and a guard configured to protect the clamp. Further, the handgrip comprises an overmold grip configured to conceal the clamp and guard and also receive the hand of an operator or user. The clamp is engaged onto the handlebar and acts as a coupling mechanism so that the handgrip is more easily removable from handlebar. Among other things, the present disclosure solves problems related to manufacturing and assembly.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that performs steps for automatically capturing images. The computing system receives an automatic image capture control signal from an application installed on a device and captures, by a camera of the device during a predetermined time interval, preview frames of an object and a background. For each of the preview frames, the computing system identifies an outline of the object in the preview frame, removes the background of the preview frame based on the outline to generate a modified preview frame, and determines a focus value of the modified preview frame. Subsequently, the computing system determines whether a predetermined amount of focus values are greater than a threshold focus value corresponding to the device and, if so, automatically captures, via the camera, an image of the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a dual-pathway model that includes a deterministic word graph that operates in parallel with a semantic autocomplete model. The system generates outputs first using the deterministic word graph, and the system then uses the output of the deterministic word graph to determine whether to invoke the functionality of the semantic autocomplete model. By doing so, the semantic autocomplete model is used only sparingly, thus reducing aggregate latency in the system, but still allowing for increased scalability and customizability in the overall system as the deterministic word graph and the semantic autocomplete model may be updated and trained in parallel in the dual-pathway model.

Abstract: A method for preventing cyberbullying on a social media messaging platform by limiting comments to user submitted content posts to only two-user conversation exchanges between the author of the content post and the person initiating the conversation exchange. The two users in the conversation exchange are able to submit replies only when it is their turn such that both participants may terminate the conversation exchange by failing to reply to the immediately preceding post by the other user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating dynamic quick actions for an application in a web browser. The dynamic quick actions correspond to various functions of an application accessible via a web browser sidebar interface. When a hover event is detected in association with an icon of the application, a quick-actions card is generated that includes quick actions of the application from which the user can select. For instance, a selection of a quick action triggers the web browser to execute an action that causes the application function to be performed. Thus, application functions are able to be surfaced and controlled via a single input device selection (e.g., a mouse click).
