Abstract: A system may include an image capture device a processor communicatively coupled to the image capture device. The image capture device may be configured to obtain one or more images. The processor may be configured to receive a first image obtained by the image capture device, determine if a first object is in the first image, determine if a size and a location of the first object in the first image meet threshold values if the first object is determined to be in the first image, determine at least one corrective action to be taken if at least one of the size and the location of the first object in the image does not meet the threshold values, and cause an instruction for taking the at least one corrective action to be communicated to a user. Methods and machine-readable storage media also are disclosed.

Abstract: A system includes a computing device including a processor communicatively coupled to a camera. The computing device is configured to, in response to receiving a request, capture an image via the camera and detect, within the image, a first plurality of locations of a first object. The computing device is further configured to segment the first plurality of locations of the first object by determining, for each location of the first plurality of locations, a likelihood the corresponding location includes a part of the first object. The computing device is configured to inpaint a second plurality of locations with an associated likelihood the corresponding location includes the part of the first object above a threshold value. The computing device is additionally configured to generate an augmented image by superimposing a selected second object over the image and display the augmented image on a user interface of the computing device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for vision test and uses thereof are disclosed. A method may be implemented on a mobile device having at least a processor, a camera and a display screen. The method may include capturing at least one image of a user using the camera of the mobile device; interactively guiding the user to a predetermined distance from the display screen of the mobile device based on the at least one image; presenting material on the display screen upon a determination that the user is at the predetermined distance from the display screen; and receiving input from the user in response to the material presented on the display screen. The material presented on the display screen may be for assessing at least one characteristic of the user's vision. Mobile devices and non-transitory machine-readable mediums having machine-executable instructions embodied thereon for assessing a user's vision also are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a silicone composition that includes an epoxy-functional organopolysiloxane resin and an epoxy-functional organosiloxane oligomer, and a method of preparing optical waveguides using the silicon composition. The present invention also provides a cured silicon composition, and an optical waveguide that includes the cured silicon composition.

Abstract: A light guide has a transmission of greater than 90 percent, a refractive index greater than 1.4, and less than 10 haze percent. The light guide also includes an organosiloxane block copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of at least 20,000 g/mole. The organosiloxane block copolymer includes 40 to 90 mole percent disiloxy units of the formula [R12SiO2/2] arranged in linear blocks each having an average of from 10 to 400 disiloxy units [R12SiO2/2] per linear block, 10 to 60 mole percent trisiloxy units of the formula [R2SiO3/2] arranged in non-linear blocks each having a weight average molecular weight of at least 500 g/mol, and 0.5 to 25 mole percent silanol groups [?SiOH]. R1 is independently a C1 to C30 hydrocarbyl and R2 is independently a C1 to C20 hydrocarbyl. Moreover, at least 30% of the non-linear blocks are crosslinked with another non-linear block and aggregated in nano-domains.
