  • Patent number: 10643366
    Abstract: Implementations are directed to methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs for generation of a three-dimensional (3D) animation by receiving a user input defining a two-dimensional (2D) representation of a plurality of elements, processing, by the one or more processors, the 2D representation to classify the plurality of elements in symbolic elements and action elements, generating, by the one or more processors, based on the symbolic elements, the action elements, and a set of rules a 3D animation corresponding to the 2D representation, and transmitting, by the one or more processors, the 3D animation to an extended reality device for display.

  • Publication number: 20200125050
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for initiating actions based on sequences of events. In one aspect, a process includes receiving, from each of multiple devices, data specifying an event detected by the device. The events are compared to configured scenarios that each specify a sequence of trigger events and an action to be initiated in response to detecting the sequence of trigger events. A determination is made that the events match a first scenario of the scenarios. In response to determining that the events detected by the multiple devices match the first scenario, a first action specified by the first scenario is initiated. A determination is made that a combination of one or more of the events detected by the multiple devices and the first action matches a second scenario. In response, a second action specified by the second scenario is initiated.

  • Publication number: 20200058061
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using location data to identify and provide services in association with items appearing in captured images. One of the methods includes receiving, from a device, an image and location data representing the device's physical location, determining, based on the location data, that a particular set of one or more locations are within a threshold distance of the device's physical location, accessing, for each of the one or more locations in the particular set, item information that indicates one or more items that are associated with the location, determining, based on the accessed item information, that the image likely shows a particular item that is associated with one or more locations in the particular set, and providing, to the device, instructions for presentation of information about (i) the particular item and (ii) one or more locations in the particular set that are associated with the particular item.

  • Patent number: 10515659
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first waveguide core extending along a light-propagation direction and configured to receive light from a light source at a combined transverse electric (TE) mode and a transverse magnetic (TM) mode. A second waveguide core is spaced apart from the first waveguide core and is configured to couple light at a TM mode to the second waveguide core. A near-field transducer (NFT) is disposed at a media-facing surface of a write head, the NFT receiving the light from the first waveguide core or the second waveguide core and heating a magnetic recording medium in response thereto.

  • Publication number: 20190325628
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include receiving a content image depicting a first set of objects and a style image depicting a second set of objects and a collective style, processing, by the design generation assistant, the content image using one or more ML models to determine a first sub-set of objects, to which a style is to be transferred from the style image, the first sub-set of objects including fewer objects than the first set of objects, processing, by the design generation assistant, the style image using the ML models to determine a second sub-set of objects, from which the style is to be transferred, and generating, by the design generation assistant, an output image with stylized objects, each stylized object including an object in the first sub-set of objects having the style of the one or more objects in the second sub-set of objects.

  • Patent number: 10431253
    Abstract: An input waveguide is disposed on a substrate-parallel plane and configured to receive light from an input surface. A mode converter joins the input waveguide at a junction away from the input surface. The mode converter converts the light from a fundamental mode to a higher-order mode. An input coupler is proximate to and overlapping the input waveguide parallel to the substrate-parallel plane. The input coupler extending from the input surface to the mode converter and has an asymmetric taper that transitions from a wider crosstrack dimension near the input surface to a narrower crosstrack dimension away from the input surface.

  • Patent number: 10216734
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for constructing a complementary calendar and/or a shadow calendar. A user may maintain a primary calendar within which the user may schedule user specified tasks and/or meetings, but may inadvertently omit other entries. Accordingly, a complementary calendar may be constructed based upon inferences derived from user signal data (e.g., information used to identify/infer activities of the user, such as social network profile information, messages, temporal information, locational information, documents, etc.). The complementary calendar may be automatically populated with entries corresponding to inferences derived from user signals and/or real-time conditions (e.g., weather, store hours, traffic conditions, etc.). The primary calendar and the complementary calendar may be merged to create a shadow calendar.
