Patent number: 11895812Abstract: A computing component is described. The computing component includes a cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material. In some embodiments, the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material may have a cosmetic surface and a protrusion surface. The computing component includes a protrusion extending from the protrusion surface of the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material. In some embodiments, the cosmetic surface of the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material is uniform in appearance to the naked eye. In some embodiments, the protrusion may have a base and an end. The base may have a cross-sectional width and the end may have a cross-sectional width. A difference in the cross-sectional width of the base and the cross-sectional width of the end may be less than 250 microns.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Lincoln Matthew Ghioni, Gary Russell McClary, Lawrence David Azzano, Minh Cao Nguyen, Scott Jeffrey Korn

Patent number: 10678314Abstract: Optimized charging of a battery of a computing device is provided. The computing device includes a dynamic phase change device. The dynamic phase change device includes a wick structure with a valve. The valve is operable to regulate a working fluid of the dynamic phase change device based on a position of the valve. The computing device also includes a battery physically connected to and in thermal communication with the dynamic phase change device, and a sensor operable to determine a temperature of the battery. The computing device includes a first heat generating component physically and thermally connected to the dynamic phase change device. The first heat generating component or a second heat generating component is configured to compare the determined temperature to a predetermined temperature and control the valve based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chau Van Ho, Lawrence David Azzano, David Otto Whitt, III, Andrew Douglas Delano, Lincoln Ghioni

Patent number: 8863346Abstract: The hands-free dental appliance includes upper and lower tray members (12, 14) for receiving the teeth of the user, the tray members having teeth contact members such as bristles. A power assembly (28) moves the tray member in a reciprocal manner, resulting in cleaning of the surfaces of the teeth by the bristles. A grounding system (30) with bite portions (32, 34, 36) for biting contact whereby the user's teeth grounds the appliance to the user's mouth structure, reacting both static and dynamic forces, the grounding system being either separate from the tray members or flexibly connected to the tray members, allowing the tray members to move and clean the teeth without the user having to hold or otherwise manipulate the appliance.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2010Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Patrick A. Headstrom, Tijn Pieter Lodewijk Huttenhuis, Jeffrey Daniel Allison, Lawrence David Azzano
