Abstract: Techniques for improving a user video game experience are described. In an example, a computer system accesses videos showing separate completions of an activity by a plurality of video game players. From a definition of the activity, it is determined that the activity is a parent of sub-activities. Links to video portions of the videos are generated, wherein each video portion corresponds to a sub-activity. A score is generated for each video portion based on a relevance of each video portion to a user. The links are presented in a user interface to the user based on the score for each video portion, wherein upon selection of a first link, the user interface displays a first video to the user starting at a first video portion showing a completion of a sub-activity by a video game player.

Abstract: Technology is described for managing a user account. An example method includes: a payment service system (PSS) monitoring in real-time transactions of users, receiving a request from a user to complete a transaction, and dynamically determining a predicted tax liability amount for the transaction that increases or decreases a total tax liability of the user. The PSS then displays the predicted tax liability amount on a display of the users device with a request for confirmation to continue with the transaction. If confirmation is received, the PSS modifies tax liability information for the user that reflects the completed transaction. The user may also cancel the transaction responsive to receiving the predicted tax liability amount.

Abstract: Technology is described for generating a tax return document. In one example, a payment service system presents a user interface on a mobile device of a user. Based on user selection of an icon of the user interface, the payment service system determines tax liability of the user and generates tax return documents on behalf of the user. The tax liability and tax return documentation is based at least in part on a user profile of the user stored at the payment service system and on financial data associated with services provided to the user by the payment service system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to increasing longevity of the nitrogen content of soil through improved liquid delivery formulations of nitrification inhibitors. The liquid formulation can also be comprised of nitrification inhibitors and optionally urease inhibitors that are blended solutions of each. The nitrification inhibitors are present in a mixture that comprises both a protic and an aprotic solvent system. The novel formulations are designed to be applied to fertilizers, especially urea and manure based fertilizers. The delivery formulations provide an environmentally sound and inherently safe solvating system that improves the storage stability of the urease inhibitors by utilizing liquid organic non-water containing solvents, maintains the nitrification inhibitors in solution to storage temperatures of at least 10° C., and provides improved application to fertilizer of nitrification inhibitors.

Abstract: In implementations of adaptive systems for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), a computing device implements an adaptive system to receive glucose data describing user glucose values measured by a sensor of a CGM system, the sensor is inserted at an insertion site. The adaptive system accesses orientation data describing forces measured by an accelerometer of the CGM system, and the adaptive system identifies a location of the insertion site based on the orientation data. Modified glucose data is generated by modifying the user glucose values based on the location of the insertion site. The adaptive system generates an indication of the modified glucose data for display in a user interface of a display device.

Abstract: In implementations of systems for determining a similarity of sequences of glucose values, a computing device implements a similarity system to receive input data describing a sequence of user glucose values measured by a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. The similarity system computes similarity scores for a plurality of sequences of glucose values by comparing each glucose values included in the sequence of user glucose values with ever glucose value included in each sequence of the plurality of sequences. A particular sequence of glucose values that is associated with a highest similarity score is identified. The similarity system determines an externality associated with the particular sequence. The similarity system generates an indication of the externality for display in a user interface.

Abstract: Technology is described for managing a user account. An example method includes: a payment service system (PSS) receiving payroll funds for a user having an account with the PSS, and generating a tax payment account on behalf of the user. The PSS determines an amount of the payroll funds (or other income funds) to divert to the tax payment account based on tax liability information. Furthermore, the PSS determines, based on transaction information associated with the user account, a modified amount of the income funds to divert to the tax payment account, and the PSS causes the modified amount of the payroll funds to be diverted to the tax payment account.

A multi-jurisdictional endpoint allocation system receives a request to allocate an endpoint in a jurisdiction to an account and accesses a regulation data object for the jurisdiction. The regulation data object identifies a set of jurisdictional requirements for the jurisdiction and a set of actions to be performed to satisfy the set of jurisdictional requirements for the jurisdiction. The multi-jurisdictional endpoint allocation system allocates an endpoint in the jurisdiction to the account and executes the set of actions associated with the regulation data object to satisfy the set of jurisdictional requirements for the jurisdiction.

Abstract: A force absorbing device for a footwear appliance includes a shoe upper and a shoe sole having a planar sole surface, such that forces between the shoe upper and planar sole surface in ground contact are absorbed by force mitigation structures disposed in the shoe sole. A footwear article includes a split-sole system that redefines a shoe sole as coplanar surfaces having a force mitigating interface for receiving sudden forces and effectively mitigating these forces by storing kinetic energy and releasing it over time. An elastic field in the force mitigation structure is defined by a resilient material adapted to deform in response to the received force. Frictional engagement between the upper and lower sole may also be augmented by surface characteristics such as dimples, voids and lubricants, in addition to interference engagement with an elastic field.
