Patent number: 10885697Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure presents a technique for generating an augmented reality effect. The technique includes receiving first input data including an image of a face. The technique further includes, based on the first input data, generating a first intermediate texture corresponding to an eyelid of the face with make-up. The technique further includes, based on the first input data, generating a second intermediate texture corresponding to the eyelid of the face without make-up. The technique also includes generating an output texture based on the first intermediate texture and the second intermediate texture. The technique further includes generating an effect by applying the output texture to second input data corresponding to a second image of a second face.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Srinidhi Viswanathan, Ian Erik Smith Heisters, Bruno Pereira Evangelista, Jennifer Dolson, Alexandra Louise Krakaris

Patent number: 9349052Abstract: A social photo curation system is used to automatically identify a subset of photos for an album to provide to a viewing user. The album and its photos are associated with metadata indicating information about the photos, such as individuals tagged in the photos, locations where the photos were taken, keywords or concepts associated with the photos, and the quality and variety of the photos. The social photo curation system uses this metadata to score and select the photos for a particular viewing user. The scoring and selection of photos for the album may be independent of the viewing user, or it may be customized based on the viewing user's interests and connections to other users in a social networking system.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer Dolson, Paul Francois Carduner

Patent number: 9196060Abstract: A texture repository is provided for use with an image manipulation application. The texture repository provides a canvas to the image manipulation application for use with an image filter. The texture repository may provide an existing canvas matching the request from the image filter, or the texture repository may generate a new canvas for the request. The generated canvas may be procedurally generated to match the request, or the generated canvas may be resized from an existing canvas stored in a non-volatile storage or a cache.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Facebook, Inc.Inventors: Apostolos Lerios, Jennifer Dolson

Patent number: 7936641Abstract: An embodiment of a device for generating an acoustic signal in a fluid includes an engine operable to repeat a thermodynamic process to vibrate a membrane of the engine to generate an acoustic signal having more than one period. The thermodynamic process includes heating mass inside a chamber of an engine to generate pressure inside the chamber; in response to generating the pressure, moving in a first direction a portion of a membrane of the engine; removing mass from inside the chamber to decrease the pressure inside the chamber; and in response to decreasing the pressure inside the chamber, moving the membrane portion in a second direction. In an embodiment, because the engine repeats the thermodynamic process, the engine can generate and sustain an acoustic signal for a significant amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: John Rapp, Nicholas John Nagurny, Robert J. Howard, Jared Gilbert, Eliot Goldstein, John Gornowich, Matthew Herbek, Nicole Anderson, Austin Lu, Jennifer Dolson, Ariel Brown, Gordon Briggs
