Patent number: 11929842Abstract: A method and system for managing delivery of a content stream to a plurality of devices participating in an online conference session, including delivering, to each of the devices, the content stream associated with the online conference session at a first signal quality, receiving an indication signal indicating that a first device is to broadcast the content stream, responsive to the indication signal, increasing a signal quality of the content stream delivered to the first device from the first signal quality to a second signal quality, wherein the second signal quality is higher than the first signal quality, delivering the content stream to the first device at the second signal quality, and delivering the content stream to the rest of the devices at the first signal quality or a third signal quality, wherein the third signal quality is lower than the first signal quality.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Aaron Linne, Eric Scott Albright, Albert Jose Mangay, Satya Sasikanth Bendapudi, Jizhe Jin

Publication number: 20220245375Abstract: Disclosed, among other things, is volumetric security, which may provide improved techniques for identifying a subject by receiving inputs from a 3-dimensional (3D), or volumetric, image, a 2-dimensional (2D) image, an audio feed or recording, a biometric scanning system, a password entry system, a location-based technology system such as Global Positioning System (GPS) or interactions between a Bluetooth® beacon and an application on a mobile device, or another data source, comparing the inputs to data stored in one or more databases, assigning weights to the inputs, outputting weighted values, and integrating an algorithm that factors the weighted values to output a subject identifier and a confidence score. The confidence score may define a probability that the identifier correctly identifies a subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2021Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: David Young, Terrence Nevins, Doug de la Torre, Aaron Linne

Publication number: 20170372170Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure implements a method of ranking images in real-time as the images are being received. In this regard, the method comprises receiving a first and a second images from end users. Then, the first and second images are made available to two or more human annotators from network accessible computing devices. The method provided by the present disclosure then receives designations from each of the two or more human annotators regarding whether the first or second image is preferred. From the received input, a determination is made, in the aggregate, whether the two or more human annotators preferred the first or second image. If the two or more human annotators preferred the first image, the method allocates a rank to the first image that is higher than the second image. On the other hand, if the two or more human annotators preferred the second image, the method allocates a rank to the second image that is higher than the first image.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Applicant: Judgemyfoto Inc.Inventors: David Young, Aaron Linne, Doug de la Torre

Patent number: 9452638Abstract: A caster includes a wheel supported for rotation about a rolling axis and a pin extending from the wheel along a pin axis in a direction normal to the rolling axis. A mounting plate includes a first aperture sized to receive the pin such that the wheel is rotatable about the pin axis. The mounting plate includes a plurality of mounting apertures arranged circumferentially around the first aperture, wherein a first of the mounting apertures is a first distance from the pin axis and a second of the mounting apertures is a second distance from the pin axis, the second distance being greater than the first distance. A bearing is positioned between the mounting plate and the wheel and is arranged to support rotation about the pin axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2015Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: CHOICE EQUIPMENT CO., INC.Inventors: Chad Aaron Linn, Joseph John Bova

Patent number: 7986804Abstract: An audio speaker having a removable voice coil, which may be a part of a voice coil assembly. The voice coil may be user-removable to facilitate replacement of a damaged voice coil or reconfiguration of a speaker system. Properly positioning the voice coil assembly may provide a solder-free electrical connection between the voice coil and leads that provide current to the voice coil. In some embodiments, the voice coil is user-removably attached to an inner circumferential surface of a diaphragm. In other embodiments, the voice coil is connected to the diaphragm, and the voice coil assembly and the diaphragm are both user-removably attached to a frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2007Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Boston Acoustics, Inc.Inventors: Aaron Linn, Leif Blackmon

Patent number: 6430300Abstract: A cooling mechanism is provided for an audio speaker, which mechanism includes a plate of a thermally conductive material mounted between the driver mechanism of the speaker and the speaker basket and extending from the voice coil gap to the outside of the speaker. The spacing between this plate and the voice coil is preferably kept as small as possible. The plate is preferably a vent plate having a plurality of radial vents extending along the width of the plate from the voice coil gap side thereof to the side facing the outside of the speaker. Such a vent plate, in addition to providing radiant cooling, also provides cooling via air flow as well as conduction and convection cooling. The vents are sized and shaped so as to minimize any turbulence, and thus any audible air noise.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1999Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Boston Acoustics, Inc.Inventors: Brian Cox, Aaron Linn, Leif Blackmon

Patent number: 5940522Abstract: An audio speaker, the voice coil of which is passively cooled by using at least one of the speaker cone and spider as a bellows to draw air in and to push air out through a first vent passing through the voice coil and a second vent, connected to the first vent through an air flow path, which second vent is formed in a basket of the speaker which is formed of a material having good heat transfer properties. Air drawn into the speaker through the first vent removes heat from the voice coil and is heated thereby. This air is mixed with cooler air drawn in through the second vent which cooler air is expelled through both vents under appropriate action of the bellows. Partially cooled air expelled through the first vent further cools the voice coil and expelled through the second vent, which is also partially heated, has heat removed therefrom as it passes through the second vent formed in the basket, the relatively large area of the basket passed through by this air functioning as a heat sink.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1998Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Boston Acoustics, Inc.Inventors: David Cahill, Aaron Linn, Derek Hatchett
