In some instances, the operations include correlating the time duration of the interrupt with a known size of the object.

Abstract: Methods and systems for personalizing an avatar for a user for use in a game includes extracting features of the avatar associated with the user. Receiving inputs from the user for customizing at least a feature of the game that is identified as customizable. Constraints of the game are determined and used during updating of a skin of the avatar, wherein the skin of the avatar is updated by adjusting the feature to include the attribute customized using the inputs of the user. The updated skin used to generate an updated avatar that is stored in a user profile of the user and used to represent the user in the game.

Abstract: An action state estimation apparatus is provided that includes a sampling portion, an action state model storage, and an estimation calculation portion. The sampling portion samples a displacement measurement signal within a predetermined time and generates displacement measurement data based on the sampled displacement measurement signal. The action state model storage stores an action state model modeled by associating the displacement measurement data with a loaded state of a muscle of the test subject. The estimation calculation portion then estimates the loaded state by setting the displacement measurement data as an input vector and using the action state model.

Abstract: Systems and methods that enable a user at a streaming device and/or one or more users at one or more client devices to realize one or more benefits associated with a status obtained in accordance with one or more events associated with a live streaming platform.

Abstract: A method for determining a route of an object or of a player moving on a sport field, this route being constituted solely of stationary positions of this object or of this player on this sport field, the method including a step of determining by a portable electronic device geographical position “X”_“Ball” “Y”_“Ball”) data of the object or of the player during a sporting activity only when the object or the player is in a stationary position on the sport field, and a step of generating the route of the object or of the player on a graphical representation of the sport field based on the geographical position data (“X”_“Ball”, “Y”_“Ball”) calculated by the electronic device.

Abstract: Adaptive synchronization of objects in a distributed metaverse is provided. An agent of a user of a global metaverse is detected performing an action on an object within a scene of a local metaverse corresponding to the user. A state change in the object caused by the action performed by the agent of the user in a local context of the local metaverse corresponding to the user is stored. It is determined whether the action performed by the agent on the object is globally observable or an irreversible action. The state change in the object caused by the action performed by the agent of the user in the local context of the local metaverse corresponding to the user is propagated to a plurality of different local metaverses of the global metaverse in response to determining that the action performed by the agent is globally observable or an irreversible action.

Abstract: A system (10) and a method for determining a maximum miming speed (MRS) of a runner include a memory unit (32) (MU) with miming determinants (30) (RDs) of the runner and venue stored therein. A processor unit (22) (PU), connected to the memory unit (32) (MU), runs a predictive algorithm (24) (PA) using the running 5 determinants (30) (RDs) to determine the maximum running speed of the runner by zeroing a linear momentum balance and an angular momentum balance of the runner, typically over at least a half-running cycle (HRC). An output unit (34) (OU), connected to the processor unit (22) (PU), receives the determined maximum running speed therefrom. The zeroing also allows the determination of a critical 10 ground impulse ratio (Rcr) of the runner.
