Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine readable media for implementing a service for displaying, navigating, and sharing collections of media. Additionally provided is a device for use with such services that may receive, navigate, and display collections of media, allowing, for example, local and remote control over screen brightness and navigation through feeds and channels of media.

Abstract: A apparel optimization system can present digital representations of apparel items in a user's wardrobe or at a store on an avatar built to resemble the user. The avatar can be sized to resemble the user, and the apparel items can be superimposed on the avatar. The system can provide outfit recommendations to the user based on the user's wardrobe, and visually display the recommended apparel items on the user's avatar. The system can also include providing future purchase recommendations based on seasonal, trend, and wardrobe composition data.

Abstract: A tire is provided having a body ply that is displaced from the conventional equilibrium curve along the shoulder and upper side wall region of the tire in a manner that provides more uniform inflation growth along the crown region so as to reduce differences in rigidity between the center and shoulders of the tire, reduce load sensitivity, and/or decrease the propensity for cracking. A method for designing or constructing such a tire is also provided.

Abstract: Establishing an external agent interface on an external agent interface platform. Defining, on an executing platform, a prepared element hierarchy on an executing platform as a function of at least an execution state of the executing platform. Transforming, on an executing platform, the defined prepared element hierarchy into an external agent interface element hierarchy as a function of at least the execution state. Exporting, from the executing platform, the external agent interface element hierarchy to an external agent interface platform.
