Publication number: 20230089659Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage time calibration associated with an oscillator of a computing system. In one example, a computing system monitors clock cycles for an oscillator on the computing system, receives timing messages from a server, and calculates the frequency of the oscillator at intervals based on the monitored clock cycles and timing messages. The computing system further identifies a temperature from a temperature sensor at each of the intervals and generates a function to demonstrate frequency of the oscillator versus temperatures from the temperature sensor based on the identified temperatures and frequencies at the intervals.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2021Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Ali Najafi, Michael Wei, Andreas Georg Nowatzyk, Amy Tai

Patent number: 9389717Abstract: A reduced-latency ink rendering system and method that reduces latency in rendering ink on a display by bypassing at least some layers of the operating system. “Ink” is any input from a user through a touchscreen device using the user's finger or a pen. Moreover, some embodiments of the system and method avoid the operating system and each central-processing unit (CPU) on a computing device when initially rendering the ink by going directly from the digitizer to the display controller. Any correction or additional processing of the rendered ink is performed after the initial rendering of the ink. Embodiments of the system and method address ink-rendering latency in software embodiments, which include techniques to bypass the typical rendering pipeline and quickly render ink on the display, and hardware embodiments, which use hardware and techniques that locally change display pixels. These embodiments can be mixed and matched in any manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Steven Bathiche, Paul Henry Dietz, Hrvoje Benko, Andreas Georg Nowatzyk

Patent number: 6262823Abstract: In a system for communicating optically encoded data among a network of nodes, the nodes are connected to each other by optical transmit and receive fibers. Each node includes a laser, a transmitter, and a receiver connected to the transmitters of the other nodes by a fiber stretcher. The rate at which the laser generates light pulses is controlled by a frequency control signal supplied to an oscillator connected to the laser. The delay from the transmitters to the receivers is controlled by a phase control signal supplied to the fiber stretcher connected to the receive fiber. The transmitter connected to the transmit fiber selective delays the pulses into a plurality of time multiplexed channels. The receiver connected to the fiber stretcher selectively detects the pulses in the time multiplexed channels while all of the pulses of all of the nodes are globally synchronized in all of the time multiplexed channels in frequency and phase using the frequency and phase control signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1998Date of Patent: July 17, 2001Assignee: Compaq Computer Corp.Inventor: Andreas Georg Nowatzyk
