Abstract: A video server machine initiates an analysis of a video stream to be provided to a player device, and the initiated analysis may be configured to detect an optically readable code appearing within the video stream. The video server machine initiates provision of the video stream to the player device during or after the analysis that is configured to detect the optically readable code within the video stream. In response to the optically readable code being detected, the video server machine generates a command to control the player device, and the generated command indicates the screen location of the optically readable code detected by the analysis. The video server machine then controls the player device by providing the generated command to the player device, and the provided generated command causes the player device to present an interactive region at the screen location of the optically readable code.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to retirement plan optimization. By collecting client information, systems and methods of the inventive subject matter are configured to develop scenarios for a user. From those scenarios, multiple simulations can be run. Each scenario features scenario parameters, and each simulation features simulation parameters. Scenario parameters can include ranges of values or a set of different possible values. For a given scenario, many simulations can be run, where each simulation has a corresponding set of simulation parameters, and where each set of simulation parameters features set values for each of the scenario parameters for that scenario. After running multiple simulations for each scenario, high performing simulations can be identified based on a base case performance and based on one or more optimization goals. Once high performing simulations are identified, actionable retirement plans can be developed therefrom.

Abstract: An apparatus to be viewed by a driver to aid parking their car parallel to the walls of their garage. The driver will be able to park in exactly the same spot each time, at the desired distance from other cars, walls, or other stationary objects. This will help minimize banging car doors on objects on opening while maximizing use of space within the garage. The apparatus is installed in a fixed position in front of the driver at eye level as they sit comfortably in the driver's seat of their vehicle. As the driver drives their car into their garage to park, they are guided by visual cues from the apparatus to park the car in the same footprint on the floor each time.

Abstract: A diffusion model may be used to generate an audio signal from text. The diffusion model may process received text and noise vectors to compute encoded audio vectors that correspond to the text. The encoded audio vectors may be decoded to generate an audio signal of a person speaking the text that may be presented to a user. The diffusion model may process a sequence of byte-encoding vectors corresponding to the text, and the use of the byte-encoding vectors may allow for the generation of higher quality audio signals. In some implementations, prompt audio of a person may also be used to generate an audio signal that resembles the speech of that person.
