  • Publication number: 20220165309
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, are provided, for generating video anchors for a video. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining key moment identifiers for a video, where each key moment identifier includes a time index value specifying a playback time in the video, and is indicative subject matter of the video that has been determined to meet one or more interest criteria that define salient topics within the video. For each key moment identifier, a video anchor is generated, where each video anchor indicates a playback time for the video, and may include an image of a frame that occurs near the playback time. Upon a selection of the video anchor by the user, an instruction in the video anchor causes a video player to begin playback of the video at the playback time specified by the video anchor.

  • Patent number: 10851719
    Abstract: Systems are disclosed for supplying fuel to fuel-injected gensets in a recreational vehicle. An apparatus includes a fuel injection system having a fuel reservoir and a first pump fluidly coupled to the first reservoir and structured to supply fuel to the fuel reservoir. The fuel injection system is further provided with a pressure sensor and a second pump. The second pump is fluidly coupled to the pressure sensor and structured to provide pressurized fuel from the fuel reservoir to one or more fuel injectors of an associated engine. The second pump is a variable speed fuel pump.

  • Publication number: 20180130026
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software technology for updating calendar items associated with live events on a per-item basis. A calendar client application communicates an update request to a calendar service for an update to a calendar item in a calendar associated with a user that is related to a live event. The calendar service queries a search service for status information on the event and replies to the client with the status information. The client receives the reply and may responsively surface the status information a user interface to the calendar.

  • Patent number: 9708950
    Abstract: A genset comprises an engine; an alternator, an exhaust system, a controller, and at least one of an intake system, an EVAP system, a fuel injector, an EGR system, a SAI system and an aftertreatment system. The controller is configured to control at least a portion of the genset. The controller is in electrical communication with one or more of the alternator, the EVAP system, the EGR system, the SAI system and the aftertreatment system via communication circuitry. Furthermore, the controller is configured to: (a) receive an electrical output from the alternator via the communication circuitry, (b) determine a load on the alternator from the electrical output, which corresponds to mechanical load on the engine, and (c) generate an electrical signal configured to at least partially control operation of at least one of the EVAP system, the EGR system, the SAI system and the aftertreatment system via the communication circuitry.

  • Publication number: 20170132821
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein automatically generate captions for visual media, such as a photograph or video. The caption can be presented to a user for adoption and/or modification. If adopted, the caption could be associated with the image and then forwarded to the user's social network, a group of users, or any individual or entity designated by a user. The caption is generated using data from the image in combination with signal data received from a mobile device on which the visual media is present. The data from the image could be gathered via object identification performed on the image. The signal data can be used to determine a context for the image. The signal data can also help identify other events that are associated with the image, for example, that the user is on vacation. The caption is built using information from both the picture and context.
