  • Publication number: 20240173631
    Abstract: In various examples, compute resources may be allocated for highlight generation in cloud gaming systems. Systems and methods are disclosed that distribute, between and among various devices, processing including user interface generation and overlay, analysis of game streams for actionable events, generation of highlights, storage of highlights, and sharing of highlights. The distribution of processing or compute resources within the cloud gaming system may be dependent on system information of various devices and/or networks. Recordings, snapshots, and/or other highlights may be generated within the cloud gaming system using the determined distribution of compute resources.

  • Publication number: 20140230726
    Abstract: A robotic spray coating assembly is used in a method for spraying a coating. The assembly may include a robotic arm having a remote end region and a coating head mounted on the remote end region. The coating head emits a coating material within a defined coating delivery region via at least one first orifice located in the coating delivery region, the at least one first orifice connected to a coating supply. One or more second orifices are positioned in a pattern beyond the periphery of the coating delivery region, and a fluid supply is connected to the one or more second orifices. Fluid emitted from the one or more second orifices forms a fluid curtain that at least partially encircles the coating delivery region, thereby minimizing overspray emerging therefrom. The present invention also discloses a vehicle spray painting system and a method of spray painting a vehicle.
