Abstract: A computer implemented method for algorithmically editing digital video content is disclosed. A video file containing source video is processed to extract metadata. Label taxonomies are applied to extracted metadata. The labelled metadata is processed to identify higher-level labels. Identified higher-level labels are stored as additional metadata associated with the video file. A clip generating algorithm applies the stored metadata for selectively editing the source video to generate a plurality of different candidate video clips. Responsive to determining a clip presentation trigger on a viewer device, a clip selection algorithm is implemented that applies engagement data and metadata for the candidate video clips to select one of the stored candidate video clips. The engagement data is representative of one or more engagement metrics recorded for at least one of the stored candidate video clips. The selected video clip is presented to one or more viewers via corresponding viewer devices.

Abstract: A N2O decomposition reactor and a method of its use to produce an effluent suitable for use in an ignition device or in the main fuel injection system in high speed aircraft. N2O decomposition is an exothermic reaction and produces a high temperature product containing high concentrations of O2. Combination of fuel with this effluent ignites quickly and is an effective ignition source for the aircraft combustor. Reactor performance is adjusted to meet the conditions required for a selected application by changing the relative concentrations of CO2 and N2O, modifying the reactor length, and varying the quantity of catalyst in the reactor. For use in a pilot ignition device, the desired effluent temperature is between 500° C. and 1200° C. in order to ignite and combust the fuel within the design residence time, between 0.5 and 10 ms. For application as a barbotage gas generator in a fuel injection system, the temperature of the effluent can range from 300° C. up to 800° C.

Abstract: Systems and methods for discovery of and planning migration for computing nodes are provided. At least one collector node is deployed at a source location network to discover data associated with computing nodes of a source infrastructure. The data is transmitted to a staging API. A migration processing API receives the discovered data from the staging API after satisfying an access control measure and writes the discovered data to a migration database. A migration planning API analyzes the discovered data written to the migration database by applying a criticality algorithm to determine a criticality parameter associated with each of the computing nodes. The criticality parameter identifies a potential impact that each computing node has to migration. The migration planning API automatically groups the computing nodes into migration pods, prioritizes the migration pods based on the criticality parameters, and generates a plan for migrating the migration pods to a target infrastructure.
