Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for identifying key moments of a media asset are described herein. Key moments may be identified, for example, based on analyzing data associated with the media asset and user engagement data associated with the media asset. The data associated with the media asset may be provided to a machine learning model configured to determine one or more first segments of the media asset that satisfy a first threshold. The user engagement data may be analyzed to determine one or more second segments of the media asset that satisfy a second threshold. A compilation of segments of the media asset, representing the key moments thereof, may be generated based on the one or more first segments and the one or more second segments.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided for providing a multi-perspective multimedia output. In one embodiment, this comprises a first captured version of an event from a first capturing device and a second captured version of the event from a second capturing device. A geolocation polygon is then calculated based on a geolocation of the first capturing device used as a first point of reference, and a geolocation of the second capturing device used as a second point of reference. An ephemeral cloud is then established by determining any digital resources available within the geolocation polygon. The first and second captured versions are then processed by using the resources available within said ephemeral cloud. A single output is then generated using the processed first and second captured versions. The single output is a combination of the first and second captured versions.

Abstract: A workload management system includes a workload management tool configured to generate a workload context associated with a workload generated based on interactions of a user with workload initiation controls presented within a user interface (UI) of a client application. The workload context includes instructions for transmitting the workload context from a main browser session to a first background browser session; executing the workload within the first background session; and for configuring a first event handler within the main session to wait for a first event generated within the first background session in association with execution of the workload and, in response to receipt of the first event, transmit the client application an instruction to present workload status information in the user interface.

Abstract: An exemplary robotic system includes a plurality of controllable joints and a controller. An exemplary control method provides for controlling the controllable joints by the controller. The control method provides for determining a configuration space for the robotic system and determining a reference movement path within the configuration space. The control method then provides for assigning a plurality of streamlines in the configuration space to yield a flow field based on the reference movement path. The control method then provides for measuring actual velocity vectors of the robotic system in the configuration space. The control method then provides for determining an error velocity vector based on a difference between the actual velocity vector and the desired velocity vector given by the flow field corresponding to the current robot configuration.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes analyzing queries and dynamically modifying those queries based on the analysis. An indication that a query is to be executed by a first process is detected. It is determined that an analysis results data store does not include an active analysis result for the query using a query identifier of the query and, as a result, a modified instance of the query is generated using a modification pattern. The query and the modified instance of the query are analyzed based on a performance metric using a second process that is independent of the first process. An active analysis result of the query is recorded based on the analysis, wherein the analysis result indicates whether future executions of the query should be modified using the modification pattern. Further, in some examples, analysis results expire, such that associated queries are reanalyzed to generate active analysis results periodically.

Abstract: The present application describes novel antifouling coating compositions comprising carbon-based hydrolysable polymers of ethylenically unsaturated monomers of which some include cyclic carbonates or cyclic ethers, e.g. (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl (meth)acrylate (IPGA/IPGMA), isopropylidene glycerol ethoxylated acrylate (iPGEOA), isopropylidene glycerol ethoxylated methacrylate (iPGEOMA) and (2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl (meth)acrylate (GCA/GCMA), and their use in antifouling coating compositions. Novel polymers are also described.

Abstract: An assay device including a loading zone for a sample that may contain an analyte, an activator in communication with the loading zone from which at least one activator is displaced by presence of the analyte, an amplifier in an inactive state in communication with the activator that becomes activated in the presence of the activator, a biomatrix barrier in communication with the activated amplifier that is degraded or modified by the activated amplifier, and an indicator responsive to the degradation or modification of the biomatrix barrier, which in turn reflects a concentration of the analyte in the sample loaded on the device. The selection of analyte or displacement of the activator by presence of the analyte may occur off-platform and/or may rely on use of non-covalent interactions. The activator may include an enzyme or other reagent that activates the amplifier. Also, associated methods.
