Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing subscriptions. A media guidance application obtaining viewing patterns of a subscriber and determining a first and second media package of interest to the subscriber. A first and second release schedule are obtained related to media content in the first and second media packages. The media guidance application predicts a first viewing impact of the first subscription and a second viewing impact of the second subscription, for the upcoming time period, wherein the viewing impact indicates a total predicted amount of time spent viewing the media packages in the upcoming time period. An available amount of time for viewing media in the upcoming time period is also determined. The media guidance application generates a subscription recommendation for the upcoming time period based on the first viewing impact, second viewing impact, and available amount of time for viewing media in the upcoming time period.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product are used to provide a factor in a first domain for a first set of data and in a second domain for a second set of data. The computer-implemented method, system and computer program product then determine a relationship between the domains in term of the factor. The computer-implemented method, system and computer program product determine for the first domain whether the factor from the second domain has changed, and if so, create domain specific records for the first domain in response to determining that the factor from the second domain has changed.

Abstract: Systems, methods and cartridges for carbonating or otherwise dissolving gas in a precursor liquid, such as water, to form a beverage. A gas source can be provided in a cartridge which is used to generate gas that is dissolved into the precursor liquid. A beverage medium, such as a powdered drink mix or liquid syrup, may be provided in the same, or a separate cartridge as the gas source and mixed with the precursor liquid to form a beverage. The use of one or more cartridges for the gas source and/or beverage medium may make for an easy to use and mess-free system for making sparkling beverages, e.g., in the consumer's home.

Abstract: A treadmill has a front or rear set of pulleys and a looped running belt. The pulleys rotate with the movement of the belt, e.g., when a user walks, jogs, or runs on the treadmill. The pulleys are mounted on a rotating roller tube so that the roller tube rotates with the pulleys. The roller tube is mounted on a stationary shaft using bearings on each side and a one-way device that allows the pulleys to rotate in one direction. The rotation direction corresponds to the movement of the top of the belt from the front to the rear of the treadmill. The one-way device prevents the pulleys from rotating in the opposite direction, preventing the top of the belt from moving from the rear of the treadmill to the front. The one-way device may be a sprag clutch. The treadmill may be a motor-less, curved treadmill.

Abstract: A filter assembly includes a filter housing having a longitudinal axis, the filter housing divided into a first filter chamber and a second filter chamber, a first element bottom endplate, a second element top endplate, an intermediate endplate positioned along the longitudinal axis between the second element top endplate and the first element bottom endplate, a first filter element housed within the first filter chamber and comprising first filter media positioned between the first element bottom endplate and the intermediate endplate, and a second filter element housed within the second filter chamber and comprising second filter media positioned between the second element top endplate and the intermediate endplate.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a media guidance application (e.g., implemented on a user device) that allows users to select any arbitrary position in a virtual reality environment from where to view the virtual reality content and changes a user's perspective based on the selected position.

Abstract: Systems and methods provided for presenting supplemental content in an augmented reality environment where an object within a field of view of an augmented reality device of a user is identified and processed to detect a reference related to a participant in an event. A user profile or user social network is searched to identify a message from the user about the participant. The message may be combined with the object in the augmented reality field of view.

Abstract: Techniques for proving authenticity of data files, such as digital photos. An authentication/indexing server content from a client device such as a mobile device, and generates or receives other related data such as a reference to the content object, a fingerprint for the content object, and other metadata indicating for example a timestamp related to the content object. The fingerprint is inserted into a distributed ledger, with the distributed ledger returning a ledger address. A manifest object containing the transaction object, the ledger address, and a list of the content object and, optionally, related edits is then created and stored. The server may index fingerprints. Thus, a fingerprint can be used to authenticate subsequently received object against the stored metadata.

Abstract: A digital asset is represented and verified as a set of related digital asset or other content objects. Related metadata is stored on an immutable distributed ledger separately from the content objects themselves. For example, a transaction object includes metadata such as identifiers for two or more content objects, fingerprints for the content objects. The content objects may be stored in a local or cloud object repository. Validation of a later identified content object may include determining a fingerprint for the later identified content object, mapping that fingerprint to an address within the immutable distributed ledger to retrieve metadata previously mapped, and comparing the two fingerprints. Visual validation may be provided when the first and second fingerprints match, such as by displaying a positive icon adjacent the later identified object.

Abstract: Improving how a codebase, which may include source code, related databases, test files, code history, and/or changes, is drafted, edited, debugged, or otherwise developed. Machine learning is performed on a model codebase to establish a machine learning model. When a change to a codebase occurs, the machine learning model may be applied to evaluate that change. A change context providing context for this change is accessed. An analyzer then analyzes the change using the machine learning model and at least a part of the change context to generate an analysis result. Some information about the result is rendered. After rendering that information, a determination regarding how a user responded to the information is performed, and a subsequent analysis is then modified based on the user's response.

Abstract: This document describes an automated external defibrillator comprising a control configured to switch between a pediatric operating mode and an adult operating mode, wherein each operating mode comprises a mode-specific energy configuration and a mode-specific user configuration; an indicator configured to provide an indication of the operating mode in use during a resuscitation process; one or more processors configured to switch to the mode-specific energy configuration and the mode-specific user configuration upon a change of operating mode between the pediatric operating mode and the adult operating mode such that the automated external defibrillator delivers a defibrillating shock to a patient based on the mode-specific energy configuration; and an interface of the automated external defibrillator provides resuscitation instructions to a user based on the mode-specific user configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for resuming media in different modes of playback, based on attributes of a physical environment that a user has moved to. For example, a user may access a media asset (e.g., television broadcast of a baseball game) in a first environment (e.g., a living room). A media guidance application may then determine that the user has left the first environment. In response, the media guidance application may identify the user's new environment (e.g., a car) and analyze characteristics of the new environment. Based on the characteristics, the media guidance application may determine a suitable mode of playback (e.g., an audio version featuring play-by-play commentary of the baseball game on the car's radio) that the user can access from the playback position from where the user left off at the first environment.
