Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to e-commerce tags in multimedia content. In an example, multimedia content is received that includes a representation of an item offered for sale by a merchant. A user profile of the viewer is determined. Identifying information including customized item details are generated based on the user profile. The identifying information is sent to a different application (on a same device or different device as the device that is playing the multimedia content), which allows for linkage of a merchant profile and user profile and enables payment for the item.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to e-commerce tags in multimedia content. In an example, multimedia content is received and item-recognition techniques are performed to identify one or more items referenced in the content. An interactive element is generated that indicates information about a given referenced item, and that interactive element is displayed while the multimedia content is output. Selection of the interactive element may cause a purchasing user interface to be displayed with item and/or or payment information prepopulated based at least in part on identified attributes of the item and/or user preferences determined from historical purchase data associated with the user.

Abstract: A composition for detoxifying insect pollinators from one or more organophosphate pesticides, the composition containing microparticles comprising: (i) a phosphotriesterase; (ii) nanoparticles; and (iii) a surface active agent. Also disclosed herein is an aqueous suspension comprising the above-described detoxifying microparticles in an external aqueous medium, which may also contain an insect pollinator attractant. Also described herein is a method for detoxifying insect pollinators of one or more organophosphate pesticides, the method comprising placing the detoxifying aqueous suspension in a location accessible to the insect pollinators to permit the insect pollinators to ingest the detoxifying aqueous suspension, wherein the detoxifying aqueous suspension comprises microparticles, as described above, suspended in an external aqueous medium, typically also including an insect pollinator attractant in the external aqueous medium.

Abstract: Techniques to operate a time division multiplexing (TDM) media access control (MAC) module include examples of facilitating use of shared resources allocated to ports of a network interface based on a time slot mechanism. The shared resources allocated to process packet data received or sent through the ports of the network interface.

Abstract: A modular slide for use on a staircase includes at least a first slide module with an entry section having an entry surface defining a seat and a gripping surface substantially opposite the entry surface. The modular slide also has a ramp section with an elongated surface extending from the entry section towards a terminal end of the ramp section, an underside being configured to rest upon portions of the staircase, and two opposing sidewalls spanning both the ramp section and the entry section and having an upper edge defining a handrail. An identical second slide module is configured to overlap and integrate with an upper portion of the first slide module to form a continuous slide surface and a continuous handrail of an extended modular slide.

Abstract: Multi-port Media Control Channel (MAC) with flexible data-path width. A multi-port receive (RX) MAC block includes multiple RX ports and a plurality of RX circuit blocks comprising an RX MAC pipeline for performing MAC Layer operations on RX data received at the RX ports. The RX circuit blocks are connected with variable-width datapath segments, and the RX MAC block is configured to implement a multi-port arbitration scheme such as a TDM (Time-Division Multiplexed) scheme under which RX data received at a given RX port are forwarded over the variable-width datapath segments using datapath widths associated with that RX port. A multi-port transmit (TX) MAC block implementing a TX MAC pipeline comprising TX circuit blocks connected with variable-width datapath segments is also provided. The RX and TX MAC blocks include CRC modules configured to calculate CRC values on input data received over datapaths having different widths.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium for fish farm material handling are described. Fish farm material includes samples collected from broodstock individuals and transported for suspension in cold storage. During the time window of cold storage, a metric of interest corresponding to the fish farm material is identified. Based on the metric of interest identification, material handling may be modified to, for example, segregate fish farm material into quarantined incubation units to inhibit infection of fish farm material within other incubation units.

Abstract: Welded headgear sections can be produced by using a weld tool having pins protruding from a weld region contact surface to deliver high-frequency electromagnetic energy to a weld region defined by overlapping top and bottom headgear straps. The pins fully penetrate the top strap and at least partially penetrate the bottom strap. The pins concentrate the electromagnetic energy to achieve a weld joint of acceptable weld strength and aesthetic appeal.
