Abstract: A user-described virtual environment method, system, and apparatus obtains a representation of an object and receives a natural language-based communication from a user requesting that a computer-implemented system embody the object within a virtual environment that is described by the user. The natural language description of the virtual environment is interpreted by applying a computer-implemented trained neural network A video stream that embodies the object within a computer-generated virtual environment that is in accordance with the user-described virtual environment is generated by applying a trained neural network and then delivered to the user. The user may then describe desired modifications to the virtual environment and a second video stream is generated in accordance with the desired modifications.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for sending a snapshot message using an electronic eyewear device by a first user capturing an image, identifying a physical marker in the captured image, and determining that the physical marker in the captured image has been within a field of view of the electronic eyewear device for a predetermined amount of time. A 3D snapshot including an object is captured and, each time the identified object appears in a field of view of the electronic eyewear device, a representation of the object is sent for display to a second user as if the real object was sent. The representation of the object may include the snapshot image, the object extracted from the snapshot image, a stored representation of the object, augmented reality content representing the object, etc.

Abstract: A gas lift device includes a housing, a valve, and a nozzle. The housing defines a chamber and defines an inlet and an outlet in communication with the chamber. The valve in the chamber permits fluid communication from the inlet toward the outlet and prevents fluid communication in the reverse. The nozzle disposed in the chamber has a converging section, a throat, and a diverging section, which extend along a longitudinal axis of the chamber. A surface of the converging section converges inwardly from the chamber to the throat to funnel fluid communication from the inlet to the throat. A flow restriction of the throat restricts the fluid communication from the converging section to the diverging section. A surface of the diverging section diverges outwardly from the throat toward the outlet. Vanes extend inwardly in the diverging section and spiral about the longitudinal axis.
