Emotional reaction sharing

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for emotional reaction sharing are provided. For example, a client device captures video of a user viewing content, such as a live stream video. Landmark points, corresponding to facial features of the user, are identified and provided to a user reaction distribution service that evaluates the landmark points to identify a facial expression of the user, such as a crying facial expression. The facial expression, such as landmark points that can be applied to a three-dimensional model of an avatar to recreate the facial expression, are provided to client devices of users viewing the content, such as a second client device. The second client device applies the landmark points of the facial expression to a bone structure mapping and a muscle movement mapping to create an expressive avatar having the facial expression for display to a second user.

Selective deposition of tungsten

A method for selectively depositing a metal film onto a substrate is disclosed. In particular, the method comprising flowing a metal precursor onto the substrate and flowing a non-metal precursor onto the substrate, while contacting the non-metal precursor with a hot wire. Specifically, a reaction between a tungsten precursor and a hydrogen precursor selectively forms a tungsten film, where the hydrogen precursor is excited by a tungsten hot wire.

Replacement heart valve prosthesis

A prosthesis can be configured to grasp intralumenal tissue when deployed within a body cavity and prevent axial flow of fluid around an exterior of the prosthesis. The prosthesis can include an expandable frame configured to radially expand and contract for deployment within the body cavity and a valve body. The expandable frame can include a frame body and a supplemental frame. The valve body can include a plurality of leaflets and one or more intermediate components. The one or more intermediate components can couple at least a portion of the leaflets to the expandable frame. The prosthesis can include an annular flap positioned around an exterior of the expandable frame.

Method and system for providing auto focus and optical image stabilization in a compact folded camera

Compact folded camera modules having auto-focus (AF) and optical image stabilization (OIS) capabilities and multi-aperture cameras including such modules. In an embodiment, a folded camera module includes an optical path folding element (OPFE) for folding light from a first optical path with a first optical axis to a second optical path with a second optical axis perpendicular to the first optical axis, an image sensor and a lens module carrying a lens with a symmetry axis parallel to the second optical axis. The lens module can be actuated to move in first and second orthogonal directions in a plane perpendicular to the first optical axis, the movement in the first direction being for auto-focus and the movement in the second direction being for OIS. The OPFE can be actuated to tilt for OIS.
