Abstract: Methods to securely remediate a captive portal are provided. In these methods, a processor of a user device detects a connection, via a network, to a captive portal. Based on the detected connection to the captive portal, the processor launches a dedicated secure web browser, and selectively restricts access of the user device to the network in order to only allow, via the dedicated secure web browser, communications related to remediation with the captive portal.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant capable of bypassing soliciting a user for supplemental data for completing an action when a previously-queried application is capable of providing the supplemental data. For instance, when a user invokes the automated assistant to complete a first action with a first application, the user may provide many pertinent details. Those details may be useful to a second application that the user may subsequently invoke via the automated assistant for completing a second action. In order to save the user from having to repeat the details to the automated assistant, the automated assistant can interact with the first application in order to obtain any information that may be essential for the second application to complete the second action. The automated assistant can then provide the information to the second application, without soliciting the user for the information.

Abstract: A stream hosting server generates anchors associated with a live stream, each anchor specifying a timestamp of the live stream that represents an opportune moment for a user to join the live stream. When a viewer client device sends a request to join the live stream, the stream hosting server analyzes the anchor list and selects an appropriate anchor. The stream hosting server provides the live stream to the viewer client device beginning at the timestamp specified by the anchor. Thus, the viewer client device can begin displaying the live stream at the opportune moment specified by the anchor. The stream hosting server also creates video on demand content that include a completed live stream as well as anchors associated with the live stream. The viewer client device can display the VOD beginning at different anchors.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing referrer data to an application are provided. One method includes receiving a first set of data packets indicating a command to navigate from a first resource to a second resource. The first set of data packets identifies the first resource and secondary referrer data associated with the first resource or a first content item on the first resource. The method includes rendering the second resource and a second content item provided within the second resource. The method includes receiving a selection of the second content item. The method includes generating a second set of data packets including the secondary referrer data and primary referrer data associated with the second resource or the second content item. The method includes transmitting the second set of data packets to a server, receiving a deeplink generated by the server, and rendering a content interface using the deeplink.

Abstract: A method for reducing bandwidth needed for streaming media content. The method includes identifying, by the streaming media server, a subset of a plurality of media content items having a portion of media data in common and extracting, by the streaming media server, the common portion from a first media content item of the subset; generating, by the streaming media server, a common media package comprising the extracted common portion, providing, by the streaming media server to a client media device, the common media package, and receiving, by the streaming media server from the client media device, a request for an item of content.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for retrieving content associated with links are provided.

Abstract: A swim paddle can include a low profile housing body including a hand surface and a water surface. The low profile housing body can further include a longitudinal axis that is parallel to the length of a hand of a swimmer and a transverse axis that is parallel to a width of the hand, wherein the longitudinal axis is longer than the transverse axis, and wherein the hand surface is adjacent to a palm of the hand. The paddle can further include a strap that can secure the low profile housing body with the hand of the swimmer. The swim paddle can further include an electronics package that can be affixed to the low profile housing body.

Abstract: A tool for retracting pistons into cylinder bores is disclosed, with a narrow gap between facing pressure plates allowing use of the tool in tight places, and ratcheting spreading of the facing pressure plates causing outward moving of the pistons, enabling work to be performed.

Abstract: A system for measuring concentration of water vapor in a gas includes a pressure sensor configured to sense a static pressure of the gas and a differential pressure sensor configured to sense a differential pressure. A temperature sensor senses a temperature of the gas. Circuitry estimates determines a concentration of water vapor in the gas based upon the measured pressures and temperature.

Abstract: Techniques are described related to prior context retrieval with an automated assistant. In various implementations, instance(s) of free-form natural language input received from a user during a human-to-computer dialog session between the user and an automated assistant may be used to generate a first dialog context. The first dialog context may include intent(s) and slot value(s) associated with the intent(s). Similar operations may be performed with additional inputs to generate a second dialog context that is semantically distinct from the first dialog context. When a command is received from the user to transition the automated assistant back to the first dialog context, natural language output may be generated that conveys at least one or more of the intents of the first dialog context and one or more of the slot values of the first dialog context. This natural language output may be presented to the user.
