Abstract: Data processing systems and methods are disclosed for combining video content with one or more augmentations to produce augmented video. Objects within video content may have associated bounding boxes that may each be associated with respective RGB values. Upon user selection of a pixel, the RGBA value of the pixel may be used to determine a bounding box associated with the RGBA value. The client may transmit an indicator of the determined bounding box to an augmentation system to request augmentation data for the object associated with the bounding box. The system then uses the indicator to determine the augmentation data and transmits the augmentation data to the client device.

Abstract: A user interface for a media system supports using gestures, such as swiping gestures and taps, to navigate frame-synchronized video clips or video feeds. The detection of the gestures is interpreted as a command to navigate the frame-synchronized content. In one implementation, a tracking system and a trained machine learning system is used to generate the frame synchronized video clips or video feeds. In one implementation, video clips of an event are organized into storylines and the user interface permits navigation between different storylines and within individual storylines.

Abstract: Sulfur-containing chalcogenide absorbers in thin film solar cell are manufactured by sequential sputtering or co-sputtering targets, one of which contains a sulfur compound, onto a substrate and then annealing the substrate. The anneal is performed in a non-sulfur containing environment and avoids the use of hazardous hydrogen sulfide gas. A sulfurized chalcogenide is formed having a sulfur concentration gradient.
