Patent number: 9467526Abstract: Cooperative interaction of a message processor and an intermediation processor. The message processor processes messages received from a network and to be sent over a network. The intermediation processor intermediates between the message processor and the network using a shared memory that includes a memory portion that is within the address space of the message processor. The message processor writes messages into the memory portion over a physical channel and reads message from the memory portion over the physical channel. The intermediation processor provides messages received from a network into the memory portion so that the received messages can be read by the message processor over the physical channel. The intermediation processor dispatches messages written to the memory portion by the message processor over the network.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Paul Stephen Hellyar, Kye Hyun Kim, Anthony Vincent Discolo, Andres Vega-Garcia, Chad Wesley Wahlin, Travis J.

Publication number: 20150350340Abstract: A data center controller that maintains operation of at least one of its constituent headless hardware devices. An example of a headless hardware device may be server, or a server blade. The data center controller identifies that a particular headless hardware device has an unmanaged state, which means the headless hardware device is non-bootable without further code. In response, the data center controller decides which of one or more operational supplements are to be installed on the headless hardware device. The one or more operational supplements are sufficient at least to transition the headless hardware device from an unmanaged state to a managed state, thus allowing the headless hardware device to complete the boot process. The operational supplement(s) might include a management interface through which the data center controller might provide further management instructions to the headless hardware device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2014Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Paul Stephen Hellyar, Chad Wesley Wahlin, Kye Hyun Kim, Anthony Vincent Discolo, John Paul Lynker, JR., Russell Alexander, Travis J.

Patent number: 8599199Abstract: Disclosed herein are a stereoscopic image generation method of background terrain scenes, a system using the same, and a recording medium for the same. The stereoscopic image generation method of background terrain scenes includes an initial mesh creation step of creating an initial mesh using terrain geometry based on image sequences, a geometry error correction step of generating a projection map, detecting error regions of the initial mesh using the generated projection map, generating a vector map of the detected error regions, and generating a corrected mesh, error of which is corrected, and a stereo conversion step of generating a stereoscopic image using the corrected mesh. Since the stereoscopic image is generated based on the mesh, the mesh fits the terrain shape even though the geometry is complex. Further, time coherence can be enforced, the mesh can be edited easily, and new elements can be unseamingly composed into the terrain.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)Inventors: Jun Yong Noh, Hui Cheol Hwang, Kye Hyun Kim
