  • Patent number: 10884602
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing and interfacing with content are disclosed. An example method can comprise providing an interface and receiving an interaction with the interface. The interface can be updated with a first element if the interaction is in a first direction. The first element can provide information based on user data. The interface can be updated with a second element if the interaction is in a second direction.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Thomas Loretan, Heather Hollis, George Robert Kissinger, Justin Gravante, Matthew Luther, Eugene Kernan
  • Patent number: 10844658
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices that include a perovskite, where, when a first condition is met, at least a portion of the perovskite is in a first phase that substantially transmits light, when a second condition is met, at least a portion of the perovskite is in a second phase that substantially absorbs light, and the perovskite is reversibly switchable between the first phase and the second phase by reversibly switching between the first condition and the second condition.

  • Patent number: 10734165
    Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosures is a method that includes applying a perovskite precursor solution to a first solid conductor and treating the perovskite precursor solution such that a first portion of the perovskite precursor solution is converted to a first solid perovskite, where the first solid conductor comprises a first charge transport characteristic, which is predominantly p-type or predominantly n-type, and the treating results in the first solid perovskite having a second charge transport characteristic that is substantially the same as the first charge transport characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20200169586
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes connecting to a virtual session for co-experiencing digital media content with one or more other users in a virtual reality environment, where the virtual reality environment comprises a screen for displaying the digital media content, receiving relative-position information indicating relative positions between the first user and the one or more other users in the virtual reality environment, rendering the screen based on a first position of the first user in the virtual reality environment, wherein the screen and the first position of the first user have a predefined spatial relationship in the virtual reality environment, and rendering, based on the received relative-position information and the first position of the first user, a second avatar representing a second user in the virtual reality environment, wherein the second user is one of the one or more other users.

  • Publication number: 20200055882
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a perovskite that includes A1-xA?xBX3, where A is a first cation, A? is a second cation, B is a third cation, X is a first anion, and 0<x?1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the perovskite may further include a second anion (X?) such that the perovskite includes A1-xA?xB(X1-zX?z)3, where 0<z?1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the perovskite may further include a fourth cation (A*) such that the perovskite includes A1-x-yA?xA*yB(X1-zX?z)3, where 0<y?1. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the perovskite may further include a fifth cation (B?) such that the perovskite includes A1-x-yA?xA*yB1-aB?a(X1-zX?z)3, where 0<a?1.

  • Patent number: 10273403
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a particle and a surface species, where the particle has a characteristic length between greater than zero nm and 100 nm inclusively, and the surface species is associated with a surface of the particle such that the particle maintains a crystalline form when the composition is at a temperature between ?180° C. and 150° C.

  • Publication number: 20190114840
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable the creation of user interfaces that may adapt to different environments and may be automatically created. User interfaces may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional and may be used in virtual reality or augmented reality applications. An interface creator may create or receive digital assets associated with a content item, define virtual planes and associated digital asset templates, associate the digital assets with the virtual planes, and enable display of the virtual planes with associated digital assets to a user for user interaction. Digital assets may be automatically edited to meet the specifications of the templates associated with the virtual planes. Virtual planes and templates may also be standardized and aggregated so that a completed user interface may be easily delivered and presented with other content items in a uniform manner.
