Patent number: 10460653Abstract: A graphical display device includes a plurality of color-specific subpixels spatially distributed across a display region. Subpixel wear compensation is performed for some or all of the color-specific subpixels. For each color-specific subpixel, the compensation may include sampling one or more display signals directed to the color-specific subpixel to obtain a time-series of sampled values. The compensation may further include storing, in non-volatile storage, compensation data for the color-specific subpixel derived from the time-series of sampled values. The compensation may further include driving the color-specific subpixel based on the compensation data.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Matthew Morris, Ying Zheng, Minhyuk Choi, Rajesh Manohar Dighde

Patent number: 10422540Abstract: An evaporative cooling device may be provided. The device may comprise a plurality of rollers, a screen looped around the plurality of rollers, a motor coupled to at least one roller and configured to drive the at least one roller, a basin configured to hold a liquid within an interior of the basin, and wherein at least one roller is at least partially within the interior of the basin. The screen may travel into the basin and capture an amount of the liquid. As the liquid is drawn into an airstream feeding a heat rejection device, the liquid may evaporate, cooling the air. The cooled air may provide a more efficient heat rejection device.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Inventor: Matthew Morris

Publication number: 20190172409Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices and techniques for dynamically adjusting the bias voltage (V) levels (e.g., low level gate voltage (VGL) and high level gate voltage (VGH)) for display screens made with thin-film transistor (TFT) technology based on a display run time. Thus, as the positive bias temperature stress for the TFTs increases over the course of the display lifetime, features of the present disclosure adjust the bias voltage levels to maintain operation margin (e.g., the ratio between the high level gate voltage (VGH) value and the voltage value which the display can maintain with normal operation).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2019Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: Minhyuk CHOI, Ying ZHENG, Matthew Morris, Andrew CADY, Jerry Michael HILL, Gangok LEE, Rajesh DIGHDE

Patent number: 10284544Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed that relate to security of a computer accessory device. For example, one non-limiting embodiment provides a host computing device configured to conduct an initial portion of a mutual authentication session with an accessory device, and send information regarding the host computing device and the accessory device to a remote pairing service via a computer network. The host computing device is further configured to, in response, receive a pairing certificate from the remote pairing service, the pairing certificate being encrypted via a private key of the remote pairing service, and complete the mutual authentication with the accessory device using the pairing certificate from the remote pairing service.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Harish Krishnamurthy, Ming Zhu, Kurt Torben Nielsen, Matthew Morris

Patent number: 10181278Abstract: The description relates to display devices. One example can receive a first frame rendering that expresses color content with a defined number of bits that convey a set of color states that correspond to a first range of voltages for driving light emitting diodes (LEDs) of a display. The example can obtain information about degradation of the LEDs of the display. The example can also combine the defined number of bits that express the color content with additional degradation compensation overdrive bits relating to compensating for the degradation of the LEDs of the display. The example can map the combined defined number of bits and the additional degradation compensation overdrive bits to a second range of voltages for driving the display where individual values of the second range exceed the first range.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2016Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rajesh Dighde, Jacob Choi, Matthew Morris, Ying Zheng
