Publication number: 20240106256Abstract: This document generally relates to techniques for adaptively triggering charging notifications for a battery-powered user device. One example includes a method or technique that can be performed on a computing device. The method or technique can include obtaining a battery charge level of a battery of a battery-powered user device and accessing user data for a user of the battery-powered user device. The user data can reflect previous usage sessions of the user with the battery-powered user device. The method or technique can also include predicting a future usage session of the user with the battery-powered user device based on the user data. The method or technique can also include estimating confidence that the battery will last through the future usage session based on the battery charge level and the predicted future usage session. The method or technique can also include triggering a charging notification prior to the future usage session based on the estimated confidence.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason HARRIGAN, Tero J.

Patent number: 11943905Abstract: An EMI attenuation device includes a housing stator, a fan rotor, and an electrical bridge therebetween. The housing stator has an aperture therethrough, and at least a portion of the housing stator is electrically conductive. The fan rotor is adjacent to the aperture and has a rotational axis relative to the housing stator and a proximate surface proximate the housing stator. The fan rotor is electrically conductive, and the proximate surface is continuous around a rotational direction of the fan rotor. The electrical bridge is between the proximate surface of the fan rotor and a contact surface of the housing stator.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason A. Harrigan, David Bennett Johnson

Patent number: 10565488Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder may include a substrate and a device. The substrate may be in communication with a controller and an antenna, and the antenna is arranged to receive radio frequency signals. A first side surface of the substrate may include a capacitor. The device may be detachably coupled with the substrate via a conductive member positioned between the structure and the capacitor of the substrate, and the conductive member may be within a desired proximity of the capacitor. The structure may be attached to an attachment surface so that an attachment strength between the structure and the attachment surface may be greater than a force required to decouple the structure from the substrate. When the structure is decoupled from the substrate, the conductive member separates from the capacitor, disabling the transponder.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: INTERMEC, INC.Inventors: Gregory Alan Raven, Jason Harrigan, Rene Martinez, Pavel Nikitin, Shashidhar Ramamurthy, David William Gilpin, Stephen Kelly

Patent number: 10445540Abstract: Systems and methods for a distributed antenna network are provided. One system includes a plurality of antenna modules coupled via a communication line, with each antenna module configured to be switched between a through state and a connected state using radio-frequency identification (RFID) control signals. The system further includes a plurality of antennas, with each antenna connected to a corresponding antenna module. A controller is coupled to the communication line and configured to transmit RFID control signals to the plurality of antenna modules to selectively activate one of the antenna modules by switching the antenna module to the connected state to thereby activate an antenna connected to the antenna module in the connected state.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2018Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: INTERMEC, INC.Inventors: Rene Martinez, Pavel Nikitin, Stephen J.
