It may be determined when at least one boost achievement condition is satisfied for temporarily boosting visibility of a video streaming channel within one or more interfaces of a video streaming service. The boosting of the visibility of the video streaming channel may be initiated based on satisfaction of the at least one boost achievement condition. It may be determined when at least one boost reward condition is satisfied. The boosting of the visibility of the video streaming channel may be terminated based on satisfaction of the at least one boost reward condition. The at least one boost achievement condition and the at least one boost reward condition may differ for different video streaming channels and may be determined based at least in part on viewership of the different video streaming channels.

Community boosting of stream visibility

A control device to provide control of electrical devices based on timing information. The control device stores device operational information which indicates an association between timing information and a plurality of operational modes for each of a set of electrical devices associated with a physical space. The control device detects a presence of a user within the physical space. The user is associated with an electronic apparatus. The control device further compares other timing information captured at a time of the detection of the presence of the user with the timing information. The control device determines an operational mode from the plurality of operational modes for each of the set of electrical devices based on the comparison. The control device further controls each of the set of electrical devices based on the determined operational mode.

Device control based on timing information

The invention uses a PID controller engine to provide a desired distribution of targeted ad placements, including controlling campaign pace in realtime to precisely spend a campaign budget over a prescribed runtime, while producing optimum results in a cost efficient manner based on desired targeting parameters. Those parameters include one or more probabilities that a viewer associated with an ad impression opportunity: belongs to one or more targeted demographic categories; will convert with respect to a product or service being offered; has an intention to buy the product or service; or exhibits one or more defined behaviors. Probabilities are determined by a truth-based machine-learning modelling engine. Upon receiving an ad slot opportunity package, a DSP makes a bid decision and determines a bid price, and then sends a bid response to the supply-side partner, all within 200 mS of receiving the ad slot opportunity or the bid will be ignored.

Systems and methods described herein are directed to an adjustable steering wheel. According to one aspect, a steering wheel includes a center post, a plurality of arc segments, a plurality of telescoping arms, and a plurality of modular segments. The plurality of arc segments have a fixed arc length relative to a center post axis defined by the center post. Each arm of the plurality of telescoping arms has a first end portion affixed to the center post and a second end portion non-removably affixed to an arc segment of the plurality of arc segments. The plurality of modular segments have adjustable arc lengths relative to the center post axis. Together the plurality of arc segments and the plurality of modular segments cooperate to define a circumference of the steering wheel that is orthogonal to the center post axis.
