Abstract: In some implementations, a user device can predictively route media content to a remote playback device based on playback context information obtained by the user device. The playback context can include local playback context information related to the state and/or context of the user device. The playback context can include remote playback context information related to the state and/or context of available remote playback devices. Based on the playback context information obtained by the user device, the user device can generate a predictive score for each available playback device that indicates or predicts the likelihood that the user will want to send media content to the corresponding playback device. The user device can generate and present a graphical user interface that can identify the playback devices having predictive scores over a threshold score. In some instances, the user device can automatically route selected media content to a predicted playback device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for digital coin exchange. A digital coin platform receives a distribution request from an entity server comprising digital multimedia content associated with an entity. Digital coins are created responsive to the request. Each digital coin comprises a first coin associated with the entity and a second coin associated with consumers. The first and second coins are linked via linking information. The first coins are transferred to the entity server. A consumption request including the digital multimedia content is transmitted to a consumer device. Responsive to an indication that the content is at least partially consumed via the consumer device, one or more second coins are transferred to the consumer device. The digital coins and the transferred first and second coins are recorded. The transferred second coins permit the consumer device to perform transactions associated with the entity.

Abstract: A system for reading and reporting data from a production of an alcoholic beverage includes a data capture device having a sensor end for placement within a liquid. The sensor end has at least two sensors for measuring data related to the liquid. A transmitter located within the data capture device is coupled to the at least two sensors and the transmitter periodically transmits the data related to the liquid. Color transmission or reflection of the liquid is used to measure clarity, color of the liquid, and relative sugar content.

Abstract: A dual rotary cutter bale processor operable in a first mode for producing ground material and dispersing ground material for a first use and a second mode for producing cut material and dispersing cut material from the processor for a second use, where the cut material is coarser than the ground material. Material is processed for feeding into a container, bunk, or tire, into windrows on the ground, making piles of material, spreading the material for use as animal bedding, and/or mulching newly seeded areas. A screen and moveable bypass door for each rotary cutter and a position of a deflector direct a cut path such that the bypass doors can be used to force the material through the screens to further reduce size of the material or the deflectors can be used so the material bypasses the screens for dispersal from the processor in a coarser state.

Abstract: A touch sensor panel comprising a first touch node electrode of a plurality of touch node electrodes, the first touch node electrode coupled to a first sense connection comprising a first set of traces, the first sense connection configured to have a first resistance per unit length that varies along a length of the first sense connection, and a second touch node electrode of the plurality of touch node electrodes, the second touch node electrode coupled to a second sense connection comprising a second set of traces, the second sense connection configured to have a second resistance per unit length that varies along a length of the second sense connection differently than the first resistance per unit length varies along the length of the first sense connection. An effective resistance of the first sense connection and the second sense connection are equal.

Abstract: A mixed-reality golf simulation system includes a ball-tracking sub-system to generate ball-tracking data when a golf ball is hit by a user, a near-eye display, a storage device to store images of a hole of a golf course associated with location coordinates of a plurality of locations along the hole, and a controller. The controller may direct the near-eye display to display a mixed-reality environment from the perspective of a location on the hole based on images associated with the location, receive ball-tracking data including a landing location of a ball hit by the user, alert the user if the landing location is a target pin, and direct the near-eye display to display a mixed-reality environment from the perspective of the landing location based on images associated with the landing location if the landing location is not the target pin.
