For example, a computer-implemented method may include receiving raw historical data identifying historical value(s) corresponding to attribute value(s) of a set of ordered attribute values and transforming the raw historical data into parameter expanded data by, for each particular attribute value of the set of ordered attribute values, aggregating each of the historical value(s) that corresponds to the particular attribute value and each of the historical value(s) that corresponds to an attribute value that is greater than the particular attribute value. The machine learning model(s) are trained based on the parameter expanded data, which trained machine learning model(s) are used to generate the predictions.

Abstract: A sprung frame assembly that can accommodate varying tolerance device heights while still exerting sufficient pressure/force required to a heatsink to contact and cool a bare die device, or other device of the like. Adapted for space constrained modules where placement of mounting holes is limited, and module density is high. Sprung frames are secured to mounting points at available locations on support structures as to eliminate any mounting holes in the PCB. The required force/pressure can be evenly achieved by methodically tightening a plurality of screws with springs at the corners of the sprung frames in sequence, pressure is applied evenly without damaging the device, while also taking up any tolerances in the device height.

Abstract: This application is directed to presenting a unified user interface on a network-connected television device. The unified user interface displays media content recommendations selected and organized based on knowledge of a user (e.g., search queries, search results, watch history, purchase history, physical activities). The unified user interface also includes a focus area for displaying a series of media content items (e.g., an advertisement) sequentially according to a temporal order for the purposes of promoting a media content item, product, event or service. In some implementations, playback of a media content item presented on the unified user interface relies on a collaborative implementation of a corresponding media player application and a media content casting application, particularly when the play involves a restricted mode. The content casting application is enabled to play the media content item at the restrict mode when the media player application does not operate in the restricted mode.
