Patent number: 9448699Abstract: Techniques are provided for displaying electronic calendar information. A calendar entry corresponding to a date is selected. In response to selecting the calendar entry, the calendar entry is expanded by increasing a portion of a display area associated with the calendar entry. Other calendar entries are compressed by decreasing a portion of the display area associated with the other calendar entries.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing LLCInventors: August de los Reyes, Adrian Mark Chandley, Paul E.

Patent number: 8732132Abstract: A secure memory device and method for obtaining and securely storing information relating to a life moment is disclosed. In the method, a parameter is received and inputted in a search heuristic. A search is made for the information according to the search heuristic and, upon finding the information, metadata is appended to the information. The information and metadata is then stored in a secure memory location. The secure memory location has a housing fabricated to withstand a predetermined stress, a detachable connection to a computer and a memory that stores the information and protects it from unauthorized deletion. In some embodiments, the stored information may be selectively deleted in a safe and controlled manner.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2008Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Akitha M. Adams, Adrian Mark Chandley, Carl J. Ledbetter, Dale Clark Crosier, Pasquale DeMaio, Steven T. Kaneko, Taryn K. Beck

Patent number: 7355506Abstract: Systems and methods for remotely shutting down or preventing operation of device via a wireless network infrastructure are provided. The device may be disabled using a defined command the device receives on a wide area network, such as a SPOT network or wireless carrier network. In various embodiments, the device responds to pre-defined command(s) and operation is disabled locally. Override codes may be used to locally re-enable the device. In a “keep alive” embodiment, the device operates as long as it continues to receive “keep alive” messages from the intended environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2003Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Adrian Mark Chandley

Patent number: 7228448Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing the size of a power supply in a computing device by monitoring activities to maintain the load on the power supply below a predetermined threshold. Through a set of software drivers, various components are placed into low power states in order to reduce the load on the power supply. The methods allow manufacturers to utilize smaller power supplies that are better fitted for the actual operating conditions of the computing device, rather than a large power supply designed for worst case conditions.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2004Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jason Michael Anderson, Adrian Mark Chandley
