A system is described for interactively analyzing plays of a sporting event based on real-world positional tracking data. Using positional information regarding the players and / or ball and / or other objects obtained from a tracking system, along with identified event data and contextual information, the system processes a library of plays (e.g., one or more seasons' worth of a league's contests) into a searchable database of plays using multiple alignment templates and discriminative clustering techniques. A user interface is described for interacting with the database in a graphical manner, whereby users can query a graphical depiction of a play and receive the most similar plays from the library, along with statistical information relating to the plays. The user interface further permits the user to modify the query graphically (e.g., moving or exchanging players, ball trajectories, etc.) and obtain updated statistical information for comparison.

A co-solvent such as CF3—X or F—X is added that selectively replaces C—CH3 bonds with C—CF3 or C—F bonds. Alternatively, H2O2 is employed as co-solvent to replace a halogen in a C—Z bond where Z=F, Cl, or Br with an hydroxyl group. Two co-solvents may be combined with CO2 for more flexibility. The cured dielectric layer has improved properties that include better adhesion, lower k value, increased hardness, and a higher elastic modulus.

Method and apparatus for factoring ambiguous finite state transducers

A method factors an ambiguous finite state transducer (FST) into two finite state transducers. The first FST is functional (i.e., unambiguous). The second FST retains the ambiguity of the original FST but is fail-safe (i.e., no failing paths) when applied to the output of the first FST. That is, the application of the second FST to an input string never leads to a state that does not provide a transition for the next symbol in the input. Subsequently, the first FST can be factorized into a left-sequential FST and a right-sequential FST that jointly represent a bi-machine.

System and method for low-resolution signal rendering from a hierarchical transform representation

A “multi-resolution signal renderer” provides a computationally efficient process for generating reduced-resolution versions of a hierarchical transform coded digital signal from the encoded coefficients of that signal. The multi-resolution signal renderer begins by decoding the transform coded signal up to the highest hierarchical resolution not exceeding the desired signal resolution. The multi-resolution signal renderer then operates in one of two modes to generate reduced resolution signals. First, to generate signals at coded hierarchical resolution levels, DC coefficients of the transform coefficients are scaled, and then lowpass filtered to reduce aliasing in the signal. Second, to generate intermediate resolution signals between coded hierarchical resolution levels, the multi-resolution signal renderer retrieves the encoded coefficient blocks for the next highest resolution coding level, lowpass filters those blocks in the transform domain, performs an inverse transform, and then downsamples the resulting signal to the desired resolution.
