Publication number: 20230334514Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to generating an engagement model to predict actions that may have a high probability of maintaining user engagement in-application or causing a user to reengage with the application. To generate the engagement model, an approach has been developed which incorporates features analysis of the application and application users. Users may be grouped based on similar features that are used to generate machine learning engagement models. The output of an engagement model may be a prediction on whether a user will continue to engage with an application. The prediction may be provided to a reengagement model which may output prompts to help increase user engagement with the application. The prompts may be based on an understanding of application users and their preferences.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2022Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Javier HERNANDEZ RIVERA, Mar GONZALEZ FRANCO, Melanie J.

Publication number: 20180081379Abstract: Low cost storage for write once read rarely data is described. In an embodiment a storage device comprises a plurality of hard disk drives connected to a server via an interconnect fabric. The storage device comprises a cooling system which is only capable of cooling a first subset of the hard disk drives and a power supply system which is only capable of powering a second subset of the hard disk drives and in some examples, the interconnect fabric may be only capable of providing full bandwidth for a third subset of the hard disk drives. Each subset may comprise only a small fraction of hard disk drives. A control mechanism, which may be implemented in software, is provided which controls which hard disk drives are active at any time in order that the constraints set by the cooling and power supply systems and interconnect fabric are not violated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2017Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Shobana M. BALAKRISHNAN, David T. HARPER, Stephen HEIL, Eric C. PETERSON, Adam B. GLASS, David Alex BUTLER, Austin Nicholas DONNELLY, Antony Ian Taylor ROWSTRON, Sergey LEGTCHENKO

Patent number: 9164567Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for providing and interacting with a centralized wake service. A server-side wake service is provided that is operable to allow applications to subscribe to the wake service. The wake service receives a wake request directed to a particular computing device from a particular one of the applications. The wake request is forwarded from the wake service to a client-side communication service on the particular computing device if forwarding is determined to be appropriate. When the client-side communication service on the particular computing device receives the wake request while in a reduced power mode, the computing device wakes up and an appropriate response is determined.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gregory S.

Patent number: 8196103Abstract: A system and method for an ejection failure mechanism is provided. The system receives a request to eject an ejectable resource, and, provides information associated with a failure of the ejection of the ejectable resource, if ejection of the ejectable resource is unsuccessful. The system thus provides a deterministic mechanism through which information associated with failure of the ejection of an ejectable resource can be communicated. As such, an initiator of the request to eject can receive information associated with a cause of the ejection failure.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2008Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam B.

Patent number: 7451459Abstract: The present invention utilizes a topology application programming interface (API) to provide relation information describing processor and platform topology to an executable program via a standardized interface. By providing topology information, the topology API allows the program to optimize its performance based upon the information without having to be explicitly aware of the actual platform architecture. The present invention also provides an expandable topology API that allows for future expansion of information type, without altering the standardized interface. In another instance of the present invention, the topology API collects, processes, and provides topology information about an underlying hardware architecture.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2003Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam B.
