Abstract: Transportation-based service share systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example method can include receiving a request from a service provider to reserve a ridehail vehicle for a ridehail having a time frame, the request specifying a service provided by the service provider; determining the ridehail vehicle for the service provider based on the service; and dispatching the ridehail vehicle, the service provider rendering the service during the ridehail.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented for taking a combination of images taken synchronous in time with one another. According to one example, the present disclosure proposes one or more sensor arrays, each of which comprises multiple pixel sensors arranged to capture image data responsive to light exposure. Light is incident on the respective sensor arrays during substantially synchronous exposures. The one or more sensor arrays are configured such that the image data captured by the respective sensor arrays during the synchronous exposure differ in at least one of a luminance output or a color profile from one another.

Abstract: A computer system identifies that a user activity on a user device during a first time period corresponds to a first user activity profile. The computer system monitors user activity on a user device during a second time period. The computer system determines that the user activity associated with the second time period does not correspond to the first user activity profile. In response to the determining that the user activity associated with the second time period corresponds to the second user activity profile, the computer system implements one or more security measures.

Abstract: A multi-optical surface optical design for generating multiple focal planes with identical image data displayed at substantially the same time to generate the perception of varying focal depths is described. The multi-optical surface optical design can include a device comprising reflective optical surfaces that can be arranged on top of one another and configured to generate multiple focal planes and an image source for projecting image data onto the reflective optical surfaces. The technologies described can cause image data to be rendered in a focal plane corresponding to a desired focal distance and multiple copies of the image can be perceived in other focal planes of the multiple focal planes at substantially the same time as the image data is rendered in the focal plane. Each copy of the multiple copies can be presented with a perceived degree of sharpness such that each copy is out-of-focus.

Abstract: Laser module including a meniscus collimating lens. In some embodiments, a monolithic material having an index of at least 2.0 provides a concave lens surface proximal to an emission surface of the laser and a convex lens surface distal from the emission surface. In some embodiments, a perimeter of the collimating lens has a face-flat that may be disposed directly against a reference surface while the concave lens surface is separated from the emission surface. The meniscus lens may advantageously provide reduced angle of ray incidence and require lower asphericity relative to a plano-convex collimating lens.
