Abstract: A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are described herein for a challenge engine. The challenge engine identifies a set of player metrics for players within a game and determines properties of at least one metric of the set of player metrics for a specified player. The challenge engine generates a first gaming instance based on the properties of the at least one metric. The first gaming instance is customized to the specified player. The challenge engine detects one or more interactions of the specified player with at least one element of the first gaming instance. In response to the one or more interactions, the challenge engine generates a second gaming instance based on the properties of the at least one metric. The second gaming instance is customized to the specified player and distinct from the first gaming instance.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, services, platforms, and methods are discussed herein that provide activity-based gallery views for communication platforms. In one example, a media gallery service is provided that determines contextual properties associated with media objects shared over communication sessions provided by a communication platform. Based at least on the contextual properties, the gallery service establishes internal sequencing among the media objects for each of the communication sessions, and presents an activity view in the user interface comprising a representation relating the communication sessions, with each of the communication sessions having associated media objects organized at least according to associated internal sequencing.

Abstract: A montage service is disclosed herein that preserves moments of video calls for participants to revisit after the call. In an implementation, while a video call is ongoing the montage service identifies a set of candidate moments to consider for representation in a montage of the call. The service extracts content for each of the set of candidate moments from both of the video streams exchanged between the participant nodes and generates the montage from the extracted content after the call has ended. The montage may then be sent to one or more of the participant nodes on the call.

Abstract: In some examples, a system for filtering and distributing fluid in a planting device comprises a first receptacle and a second receptacle. The first receptacle includes a first filter and a second filter. The second receptacle includes a first aperture and a second aperture. Fluid can enter the second receptacle through the first aperture and drain from the second receptacle through the second aperture to the second filter in the first receptacle. The system may include a pump configured to pump fluid from the first receptacle through the first filter to the first aperture of the second receptacle. Moreover, the system may include barriers that at least partially obstruct fluid flow between the first aperture and the second aperture. Each of the barriers includes a plurality of perforations located along a width of the barrier; each of the plurality of perforations allows fluid to flow through the barrier.

Abstract: An instrumented shell for sensing drilling parameters of a drilling assembly positionable at a wellsite. The drilling assembly includes a top drive assembly and a downhole tool. The instrumented shell includes a shell body, instruments and an interconnector. The shell body is positionable about the top drive assembly, and has pockets extending therein and a cover positionable about the shell body.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide an ability to automatically capture audio and/or video during a communication exchange between participants. At times, the automatic capture can be triggered when one or more characteristics are identified and/or observed during the communication exchange. In some cases, analyzing the communication exchange for characteristic(s) is based on previous input. Some embodiments train a machine-learning algorithm on desired characteristic(s) using multiple user-initiated video and/or audio clips. Alternately or additionally, some embodiments identify characteristic(s) in a communication exchange based on other properties not provided by user-input.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for extracting and handling samples for S/TEM analysis. Preferred embodiments of the present invention make use of a micromanipulator and a hollow microprobe probe using vacuum pressure to adhere the microprobe tip to the sample. By applying a small vacuum pressure to the lamella through the microprobe tip, the lamella can be held more securely and its placement controlled more accurately than by using electrostatic force alone. By using a probe having a beveled tip and which can also be rotated around its long axis, the extracted sample can be placed down flat on a sample holder. This allows sample placement and orientation to be precisely controlled, thus greatly increasing predictability of analysis and throughput.
