Patent number: 10979519Abstract: Techniques for broadcasting notifications with low latency are provided. A set of recipients for a notification of a content item is determined. The notification is stored in a second notifications storage that is separate from a first notifications storage. A request for one or more notifications is received over a computer network from a client device that is associated with a particular recipient in the set of recipients. In response to receiving the request, first notification data is retrieved from the first notifications storage, second notification data that includes the notification is retrieved from the second notifications storage. The first notification data is combined with the second notification data to generate combined notification data. The combined notification data is transmitted over the computer network to the client device and is stored in the first notifications storage. The notification may be removed from the first notifications storage.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Swapnil Ghike, Changji Shi, David Benjamin Liu, Guanchao Wang, Sandor Nyako, Netra Malagi, Amit Ruparel, Cheng-Fu Lin, Akhilesh Gupta

Publication number: 20130296003Abstract: A multi-handset cordless telephone system with power backup function causes that the power stored in the handsets can be reused as a power supply of the base unit in power outage state so that the power supply to the base unit is uninterrupted. Furthermore, the rechargeable backup cell added to the circuit further causes that the power is indeed uninterrupted even at the initial timing of the power outage. Moreover, broadcasting to the handsets wirelessly or through networks cause the users to keep attention to the power outage state as it occurs so as to adapt required operations for continuation of communication. However the present invention is suitable for usages of hospitals, hotels, and those having a large amount of handsets distributed in wide areas. These applications need to assure the un-interruption of communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2012Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventor: Cheng-Fu Lin

Publication number: 20060152922Abstract: The present invention is to provide a cup comprising a cup body and a copy base. The cup base includes a circuit portion and a light emitting portion. The circuit portion controls the light emitting portion and provides the light emitting portion the power source needed, so as to project out light source from the light emitting portion. Therefore, the cup of the present invention can produce light source by employing the light emitting portion. In addition, since the cup body is detachably connected with the cup base, the cup is then able to be cleaned and transported more easily.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2005Publication date: July 13, 2006Inventor: Cheng-Fu Lin
