  • Patent number: 12236512
    Abstract: The disclosed system establishes, by a first augmented reality (AR) device, a voice communication session between a plurality of users. The system displays, by the first AR device of a first user of the plurality of users, an avatar representing a second user of the plurality of users. The system receives, by the first AR device of a first user of the plurality of users, input from the first user that selects a display position for the avatar representing the second user within a real-world environment of the first user. The system animates the avatar representing the second user based on movement information received from a second AR device of the second user.

  • Publication number: 20250060862
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe generating a shared list of media elements. The system detects a selection of an application icon within a chat interface and generates an application interface. The application interface comprises a media library. The system initiates a first user time limit and detects a selection of a media element from the media library. The system adds the media element to a shared list of media elements. Upon expiration of the first user time limit, the system initiates a second user time limit and detects a selection of a second media element from the media library. The system adds the second media element to the shared list of media elements. Upon expiration of the second user time limit, the system stores the shared list of media elements.

  • Publication number: 20240338910
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing operations on an augmented reality (AR) device using an external vision system. The system establishes, by the AR device, a communication with an external client device. The system overlays, by the AR device, a first AR object on a real-world environment being viewed using the AR device. The system receives interaction data from the external client device representing movement of a user determined by the external client device. The system, in response to receiving the interaction data from the external client device, modifies the first AR object by the AR device.

  • Publication number: 20230297714
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems, methods, devices, and instructions for protected data use in a third-party software application, where use can be enabled while maintaining protection of the protected data from the third party software application. In particular, various embodiments provide a software application architecture that permits a data party that owns or maintains protected data to support a software development ecosystem where a third-party can develop a third-party software application that uses the protected data while denying the third-party access to the protected data.

  • Patent number: 11706234
    Abstract: Techniques for user behavior anomaly detection. At least one low-variance characteristic is compared to an expected result for the corresponding low-variance characteristics to determine if the low-variance characteristic(s) is/are within a pre-selected range of the expected results. A security response action is taken in response to the low-variance characteristic not being within the first pre-selected range of the expected results. At least one high-variance characteristic is compared to an expected result for the corresponding high-variance characteristics to determine if the high-variance characteristic(s) is/are within a pre-selected range of the expected results. A security response action is taken in response to the high-variance characteristic not being within the first pre-selected range of the expected results. Access is provided if the low-variance and the high-variance characteristics are within the respective expected ranges.

  • Publication number: 20230029027
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the biosynthesis of cannabinoids and related prenylated phenolic compounds using recombinant enzymes. In particular, the disclosure provides recombinant prenyltransferase enzymes engineered to produce a greater amount of a desired product, or to have a greater ability to catalyze a reaction using a desired substrate, as compared to the wild type prenyltransferase. The disclosure also provides methods of preparing such recombinant enzymes; as well as methods of use thereof in improving the biosynthesis of cannabinoids and related prenylated phenolic compounds.

  • Publication number: 20220411766
    Abstract: Described herein are prenyltransferases including non-natural variants thereof having at least one amino acid substitution as compared to its corresponding natural or unmodified prenyltransferases and that are capable of at least two-fold greater rate of formation of cannabinoids such as cannabigerolic acid, cannabigerovarinic acid, cannabigerorcinic acid, and cannabigerol, as compared to a wild type control. Prenyltransferase variants also accept different hydrophobic substrates (e.g., “donor” molecules), compared to wild type controls, to create different minor and novel cannabinoids. Prenyltransferase variants also demonstrated regioselectivity to desired cannabinoid isomers such as CBGA (3-GOLA), 3-GDVA, 3-GOSA, and CBG (2-GOL). The prenyltransferase variants can be used to form prenylated aromatic compounds, and can be expressed in an engineered microbe having a pathway to such compounds, which include 3-GOLA, 3-GDVA, 3-GOSA, and CBG.

  • Publication number: 20220364066
    Abstract: Described herein are variant, novel cannabinoid synthases, nucleic acids encoding same, and various uses thereof. In one aspect, a variant cannabinoid synthase or an active fragment thereof is provided comprising a non-naturally occurring amino acid sequence relative to a wild-type cannabinoid synthase or an active fragment thereof which acts on a substrate to produce an altered amount of a cannabinoid relative to an amount of the cannabinoid produced by the wild-type cannabinoid synthase or active fragment thereof.
