Abstract: A light guide has an elongated body that includes an entrance face at which light is admitted into the light guide and an exit face at which the light emanates from the light guide. The light guide has an inboard side wall and an outboard side wall extending between the entrance face and the exit face. The entrance face, the exit face, the inboard side wall and the outboard side wall enclose a medium containing a colorant by which the medium meets a color criterion while minimizing light absorption at a wavelength of the light.

Abstract: An online document system can allow users to track various amendments made over time and corresponding to an original document. The online document system accesses the original document comprising a plurality of content sections and a set of amendment documents each comprising one or more amendments to the original document. The online document system applies a machine-learned model to the original document and the set of amendment documents to identify, for each amendment, a content section of the plurality that corresponds to the amendment and a type of amendment corresponding to the amendment. The online document system generates an amended original document comprising the plurality of content sections modified to include each amendment. The online document system displays the amended original document by displaying each of the plurality of content sections and, in conjunction with each content section, any amendments corresponding to the content section are highlighted.

Abstract: A light guide has an elongated body that includes an entrance face at which light is admitted into the light guide and an exit face at which the light emanates from the light guide. The light guide has an inboard side wall and an outboard side wall extending between the entrance face and the exit face. The entrance face, the exit face, the inboard side wall and the outboard side wall enclose a medium containing a colorant by which the medium meets a color criterion while minimizing light absorption at a wavelength of the light.

Abstract: A system and a method include a substrate wrinkled coating having a substrate, and a curing layer on top of the substrate. The curing layer includes a partially cured portion directly atop the substrate, and a completely cured portion having light-diffusive wrinkles on top of the partially cured portion. Properties of the light-diffusive wrinkles are controlled by one or more curing parameters, and a composition of the partially cured portion is the same as a composition of the completely cured portion.

Abstract: A coated substrate includes a substrate having a glow-discharged surface; and a coating having a submicrometric layer thickness sputter deposited onto the substrate. The coating having a submicrometric layer thickness has a predetermined absorbance. The predetermined absorbance regulates an amount of light transmitted from a light source through the substrate from a first side to a second side of the substrate. The substrate is opaque on the second side of the substrate when the light source is deactivated on the first side of the substrate. The predetermined absorbance varies as a function of one or more controlled process parameters.
