Abstract: A computing system described herein is configured to obtain a video of a video game being played by a video game player, where an esports competition includes play of the video game by the video game player. The computing system is additionally configured to identify, in the video and through use of machine vision technologies, occurrence of an event in the video game depicted in the video, where the machine vision technologies have been trained to detect occurrences of the event in videos, and further where an outcome of the esports competition is based upon the occurrence of the event in the video game. The computing system is additionally configured to output a value that is indicative of the occurrence of the event in the video game depicted in the video, where a score for the video game player is updated in the esports competition based upon the value that is indicative of the occurrence of the event in the video game depicted in the video.

Abstract: A method of designing at least one coil for producing a magnetic field is disclosed. The method comprises: i) setting a performance target comprising: a target magnetic field, and at least two of a target power, a target resistance, a target size and/or weight, a target supply voltage or current, and a target inductance; ii) determining initial design parameters for the at least one coil; iii) modelling performance with the current design parameters to determine a simulated performance against each of the performance targets; iv) calculating a penalty function based on the difference between the simulated performance and the performance targets; v) modifying the design parameters in order to reduce the penalty function; vi) iterating steps iii) to v) until the penalty function or simulated performance has met an acceptance condition.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for increasing the wetting rate of a plant growth medium utilizing a wetting agent composition. The composition is comprised of at least one modified block copolymer. The modified block copolymer is comprised of an ester of an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymer and a fatty acid. The composition of the present invention also enhances plant growth and productivity by increasing the water uptake and the nutrient uptake by the plant roots.
