Patent number: 10620814Abstract: Techniques relating to scrolling, object selection, and object moving are discussed. Strokes are inputted by a user, for instance using a touch sensitive surface. Strokes are directed to a scrollable surface with objects therein. Strokes that end before meeting a condition select the objects, and strokes then end after meeting the condition move the objects or representations thereof. The condition may be a distance. Selection may only occur when strokes meet a threshold condition such as having a particular direction (e.g., perpendicular to a direction for scrolling the surface) or moving a minimal distance. Strokes in a scrolling direction (e.g., horizontal) may scroll the surface in that direction and strokes in another direction (e.g., vertical) may both select and move the objects. Objects selected may slide on rails before moving.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Alan Stephenson, Brian Wheeler, Joyce Wu, Pamela De la Torre Baltierra, Reed Townsend, Uros Batricevic

Publication number: 20160042700Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a shutter-based light modulator. The shutter includes at least three depressions extending outward from the surface of the shutter. Any two adjacent depressions of the at least three depressions define a gap therebetween to reduce damping forces caused by fluids in which the shutter is immersed. In some implementations, the at least three depressions can be aligned into more than one row, each row including more than two of the at least three depressions, along the surface of the shutter. In some implementations, to improve structural stability of the shutter, depressions in one row are staggered with respect to depressions in another row.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2014Publication date: February 11, 2016Inventors: Joyce Wu, Mark Andersson, Tyler Dunn, Andrew William Sparks
