Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments for selecting, enriching and sequencing digital media content to produce a narrative-oriented, ordered sub-collection of media such as for movie creation. The method identifies, evaluates, assesses, stores, enriches, groups, and sequences content. The method identifies the content metadata. When metadata are missing or anomalous, the method attempts to populate or correct the metadata and store that new content in the database. The method evaluates content for focus quality and may exclude content based on rules. The method assesses the content storing the people and their emotional level, animals, objects, locations, landmarks and date/time in the database. The method can then enrich the remaining content by providing map, photo, video, text, and audio content. The method uses selecting criteria for grouping and sequencing content by date, time, person, etc. and compiling the sequenced groups into the final narrative ready for distribution, e.g., movie creation.

Abstract: An engine can utilize a combustor to combust fuel to drive the engine. A fuel nozzle assembly can supply fuel to the combustor for combustion or ignition of the fuel. The fuel nozzle assembly can include a swirler and a fuel nozzle to supply a mixture of fuel and air for combustion, which can supply a primary fuel supply and a secondary fuel supply. Increasing efficiency and reducing emission require the use of alternative fuels, which combust at higher temperatures or burn at faster burn speeds than traditional fuels, requiring improved fuel introduction without the occurrence of flame holding or flashback.

Abstract: A continuous glucose monitoring system may utilize externally sourced information regarding the physiological state and ambient environment of its user for externally calibrating sensor glucose measurements. Externally sourced factory calibration information may be utilized, where the information is generated by comparing metrics obtained from the data used to generate the sensor's glucose sensing algorithm to similar data obtained from each batch of sensors to be used with the algorithm in the future. The output sensor glucose value of a glucose sensor may also be estimated by analytically optimizing input sensor signals to accurately correct for changes in sensitivity, run-in time, glucose current dips, and other variable sensor wear effects.
