Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a video; predicting attributes of an audience for the video; identifying one or more encoding formats for the video based on the attributes of the audience; generating encodings for the video in one or more of the encoding formats; and storing the encodings in a data store.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for communicating data from a flame detector. A method may comprise detecting, by the flame detector, data related to a fire event; communicating, by the flame detector, the fire event data to a wireless device; forwarding, by the wireless device, the fire event data to a cloud database; accessing the fire event data, via the cloud database, by a central server controlled by an operator of the flame detector; analyzing, by the central server, the fire event data; automatically generating a report based on the analysis of the fire event data, by the central server; and communicating the generated report to a customer employing the flame detector.

Abstract: A device comprises a flame detector, a camera, a mounting device, and a network connection device. The camera has a first field of view that overlaps a second field of view of the flame detector. The mounting device comprises one or more motors to change the first field of view and the second field of view, and the network connection device is configured to provide communication between an output of the flame detector, an output of the camera, and a remote device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to receive specifications associated with a plurality of media content streams associated with a broadcast. The broadcast is configured based at least in part on the specifications. The broadcast is delivered as a presentation of media content associated with the plurality of media content streams through an interface of at least one user device. The presentation of the media content is modified based on user interaction with the media content.

Abstract: A user provides video data to an online system for presentation to additional users of the online system. Additionally, the user provides information to the online system identifying positions in the information capable of presenting supplemental content items, which may be sponsored, and may provide information describing a context of the video data at the various positions capable of presenting the supplemental content items. For example, the information identifies one or more times within the video data at which an advertisement is capable of being presented via the video data. Based on the information provided by the user, the online system selects supplemental content items for presentation via the video data at the identified positions and presents the selected supplemental content items to additional users viewing the video data at the identified positions.

Abstract: An acoustic metamaterial layered composite for noise control may include a plurality of micro-perforated plates alternately and periodically arranged with a plurality of absorbent layers and optional air gaps. The plurality of micro-perforated plates may be in a form of a periodically arranged stack and include perforations extending therethrough. Each of the plurality of absorbent layers is formed of a poroelastic material. The metamaterial layered composite noise control device is designed using the metamaterial acoustics transformation approach for optimized noise control.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system and method related to an epifluorescence microscope based optical system equipped with a tunable filter to localize microspheres in bead-based assays based on a back-scattered light (also known as reflected light) image. A common optical path for reflected and emitted luminescence in conjunction with a tunable filter negates the requirement of an additional sensor employed in existing technologies for localizing microspheres based on light scatter measurements.
