Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for accessing modes of operation and techniques for providing an alarm interface for electronic devices. In some embodiments, a device detects that a battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in a predefined orientation. In accordance with the detection that the battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in the predefined orientation, the device activates a predefined mode of operation. In some embodiments, a device displays a first user interface object in a first color, and, at a predetermined time, the device displays the first user interface object in a second color and displays an option for dismissing an alarm, wherein the option for dismissing is displayed as a second user interface object located at a portion of a display of the device proximate to a hardware button of the device.

Abstract: Systems and method of generating video summaries are presented herein. Information defining a video may be obtained. The video may include a set of frame images. Parameter values for parameters of individual frame images of the video may be determined. Interest weights for the frame images may be determined. An interest curve for the video that characterizes the video by interest weights as a function of progress through the set of frame images may be generated.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus to reduce cast in a welding wire are disclosed. Example systems to reduce cast in a welding wire include a wire advancement roller configured to advance welding wire from a welding wire supply toward a welding torch; and a wire straightener configured to reduce cast in the welding wire by applying heat to the welding wire between the welding wire supply and the welding torch.

Abstract: A system and/or method configured to determine highlight segments. Content files that define content in a content segment set may be obtained. A highlight segment set may be determined from the content segment set. Determining the highlight segment set may include iterating (a)-(c) for multiple iterations. At (a), individual content segments included in the content segment set may be selected as a selected content segment for inclusion in the highlight segment set. At, (b) diversity scores for content segments that are (i) included in the content segment set and (ii) not yet selected for inclusion in the highlight segment set may be determined. At (c), one or more of the content segments may be disqualified for inclusion in the highlight segment set for future iterations based on the diversity scores.

Abstract: A first command may be received from a client computing platform. The first command may include proxy visual content. The proxy visual content may represent visual content stored on the client computing platform. An identifier may be associated with the proxy visual content. The identifier may be transmitted to the client computing platform. The identifier may be associated with the visual content stored on the client computing platform. Edits to the visual content based upon the proxy visual content may be determined at a remote computing platform. Instructions may be transmitted from the remote computing platform to the client computing platform. The instructions may include the identifier. The instructions may be configured to cause the client computing platform to process the edits on the visual content.

Abstract: Video information defining video content may be accessed. The video content may have a progress length and include a capture of an activity and a sub-activity at one or more moments in the progress length. Portions of the video content may be associated individually with values of an interest metric such that the values of the interest metric as a function of progress through the video content form an interest curve for the video content. The activity and the sub-activity captured within the video content may be identified. An activity metric modifier for the interest curve at the one or more moments in the progress length may be determined based on the identification of the activity and the identification of the sub-activity. The interest curve may be modified at the one or more moments based on the activity metric modifier.

Abstract: A system and/or method configured to determine a sample frame order for analyzing a video. The video may have multiple frames ordered in a sequence from a beginning to an end. A first sample frame order for analyzing the video may be determined. Determining the first sample frame order may include determining an initial frame for a first iteration, and determining secondary frames for a second iteration. Determining the initial frame and the secondary frames may be based on a function of frame position in the sequence of frames. The initial frame may be associated with a first sample position, and the secondary frames may be associated with secondary sample positions in the sample frame order. A first feature of the video may be determined based on an analysis of the frames in the video performed on the frames in the first sample frame order.

Abstract: System and/or method configured to determine a sample frame order for analyzing a video. The video may have multiple frames ordered in a sequence from a beginning to an end. Segments of the video may be determined based on an analysis of the frames of the video.
