IPC Code(s): H01L33/10, H01L25/075, H01L33/00, H01L33/32
CPC Code(s): H01L33/105
Abstract: a device includes a light emitting diode (led) configured to emit light characterized by a peak wavelength, a lower wavelength band extending across lower wavelengths than the peak wavelength, and a higher wavelength band extending across higher wavelengths than the peak wavelength. the device also includes a reflector positioned in a first direction from the led. the device also includes a distributed bragg reflector (dbr) having a lower reflectance than the reflector, positioned in a second direction from the led opposite the first direction, and configured to block light within a stopband overlapping a portion of the lower wavelength band or a portion of the higher wavelength band but not overlapping the peak wavelength, such that the dbr propagates filtered light in the second direction.
20240243232. MICRO-LED DBR FABRICATION BY ELECTROCHEMICAL ETCHING_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)
Inventor(s): Ye Tian of Sheffield (GB) for snap inc., Xiang Yu of Sheffield (GB) for snap inc., Peng Feng of Sheffield (GB) for snap inc., Nicolas Poyiatzis of Sheffield (GB) for snap inc., Jack Haggar of Sheffield (GB) for snap inc.
IPC Code(s): H01L33/46, H01L27/15, H01L33/32, H01L33/40
CPC Code(s): H01L33/46
Abstract: a method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a distributed bragg reflector (dbr) includes depositing, above a dbr deposition surface, a plurality of dbr layers to form a dbr, forming at least one aperture extending through the plurality of dbr layers to expose each dbr layer, and applying electrochemical etching to the plurality of dbr layers via the at least one aperture, thereby transforming at least one dbr layer of the plurality of dbr layers into a nanoporous structure.

IPC Code(s): H04L12/18, G06F3/04842
CPC Code(s): H04L12/1813
Abstract: aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for configuring 360-degree video within a virtual conferencing system. the program and method provide, in association with designing a room for virtual conferencing, a first interface for configuring at least one participant video element which is assignable to a respective participant video feed; receive, via the first interface, an indication of user input for setting first properties for the at least one participant video element; provide, in association with designing the room for virtual conferencing, a second interface for configuring a 360-degree video element which is assignable to a 360-degree video source; receive, via the second interface, an indication of user input for setting second properties for the 360-degree video element; and provide, in association with virtual conferencing, display of the room based on the first properties and the second properties.
20240244061. USER CONTACT CONTROL IN A NETWORK APPLICATION_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)
Inventor(s): Rudd Fawcett of New York NY (US) for snap inc.
IPC Code(s): H04L9/40, H04M1/72436
CPC Code(s): H04L63/105
Abstract: a method for managing a contact list on a client device to enable user control of access to contacts. these processes include actions in response to a request to access user contacts. the method presents contact selection options on a client device, where the selection or control element allows for multiple controls. the user selects all, none or a subset of a user contact list and may control how the information is used by the network service.
20240244157. REAL TIME VIDEO EDITING_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)
Inventor(s): Devin Doty of Brooklyn NY (US) for snap inc.
IPC Code(s): H04N5/91, G06F3/04842, G06F3/04883, H04N23/63
CPC Code(s): H04N5/91
Abstract: a video recording process is commenced by a camera of a device. the video recording process produces a sequence of frames. while the video recording process is in progress, a gesture directed at the device is detected. a new first frame from the sequence of frames is displayed in a camera view user interface (ui) of the device, based on a characteristic of the gesture. a video file is generated using frames captured during the video recording process and the new first frame is set as a starting point of the video file.
20240244298. VIDEO SOUND CONTROL_simplified_abstract_(snap inc.)
Inventor(s): Nathan Kenneth Boyd of Los Angeles CA (US) for snap inc., Jacob Catalano of Burlington (CA) for snap inc., Imani Ritchards of Los Angeles CA (US) for snap inc., Ian Anthony Wehrman of Venice CA (US) for snap inc., Nikhil Halkude of Fremont CA (US) for snap inc.
IPC Code(s): H04N21/485, G06F3/16, H04N21/439, H04N21/472
CPC Code(s): H04N21/4852
Abstract: systems and methods are provided for presenting videos. the systems and methods access a video playback graphical user interface (gui) that automatically plays back a plurality of videos in sequence. the systems and methods determine, by the one or more processors, a current mute state of the video playback gui, a disabled mute state allowing output of audio associated with the playback of the plurality of videos, and an enabled mute state preventing the output of the audio associated with the playback of the plurality of videos. the systems and methods conditionally present an indicator that visually informs a user that audio is currently in the enabled mute state while an individual video of the plurality of videos is being played back based on the current mute state of the gui.
