Abstract: Methods and devices are presented for managing communications in an ephemeral communication system. In some embodiments, messages in the system are analyzed to determine a complexity value for the message. This may be based on various algorithms, models, or system associations. The complexity information may then be used to recommend an availability value for the message, and to set a deletion trigger for the message based on the recommended availability value. When criteria of the automatically set deletion trigger are met at a device receiving the message, the message is automatically deleted from the device. In some embodiments, this deletion trigger at the device may also be used to initiate deletion of the message from other parts of the system.

Abstract: A computing device, e.g., in a vehicle, can receive a communication trigger for a heads-up display (HUD) in a vehicle to project light external to a vehicle. The device can then identify a projection parameter to visibly project the light external to the vehicle, e.g., beyond a viewing area on a projection screen in or on the vehicle, and can then cause the HUD to project the light from the HUD to be visible external to the vehicle in response to the communication trigger.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an elastic polymer aerogel material includes dissolving tire waste in a first portion of a solvent to form a first mixture; dissolving a polymer having at least one double carbon-carbon bond in a second portion of the solvent to form a second mixture; combining the first mixture and the second mixture, wherein the tire waste reacts with the polymer having at least one double carbon-carbon bond to form a reactant gel; and undergoing a solvent exchange on the reactant gel followed by freeze drying the reactant gel to form the elastic polymer aerogel material. The tire waste includes natural rubber, synthetic polymers, steel, and curing systems, and the elastic polymer aerogel material defines a 3D porous structure.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an apparatus and method for compensating a head up display (HUD) for holographic effects introduced by a hologram display screen. The hologram display screen is disposed in a glazing such as a window of a vehicle. The hologram display screen is illuminated by light projected by a projector. The light is modulated in accordance with an array of first pixel intensity values defining an image that conveys information to an operator of the vehicle. A first position within the eyebox is received from an eye tracking device. In response to receiving the first eyebox position, the projector is controlled to modulate the light projected by the projector to compensate images diffracted from the hologram into the eyebox based on eyebox position.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging and imaging software and systems by enabling users to generate customized media overlays that can be shared with other users. For example, media overlays can be generated by the system and displayed in conjunction with media content (e.g., images and/or video) generated by an image-capturing device (e.g., a digital camera). In some embodiments, existing media overlays may be used by users to create derivative media overlays. The system may track usage of media overlays and any derivatives created based thereon, and allow users to control the distribution and use of their overlays in future derivatives. In some embodiments, for example, a user can modify an overlay they created and cause the modification to propagate to all derivative overlays based on the user's overlay.

Abstract: A vehicle-integrated projector projects an image onto a window of a vehicle including a layer of holographic film. Upon detecting a sensed condition indicative of a possible projection of the image onto a surface beyond the window, projection of the image is adjusted to diminish a visibility of the projection of the image beyond the window independent of headlight actuation.

Abstract: A first vehicle-integrated projector for a heads-up display projects an image through a vehicle windshield and onto a projection screen. The projection screen is mounted on the vehicle and positioned a predetermined distance beyond the vehicle windshield. The windshield includes a layer of holographic film. The image is keystone corrected to conform a shape of the image to be closer to a shape of the projection screen than an uncorrected shape of the image. The image is focused on the projection screen.
