Patent number: 11968185Abstract: Technologies for on-device experimentation include embodiments that receive a request to provide digital content for display in a slot of a user interface display screen of a first device. By a secure execution environment, an identifier received with the request is anonymized. The request is determined to be associated with a content distribution test. The anonymized identifier is assigned to a test group associated with the content distribution test. The secure execution environment receives user interface event data generated by the first device in response to the content distribution test. The received user interface event data is attributed to the test group. An association of the user interface event data with the test group and the content distribution test is provided by the secure execution environment to a second device different than the first device while the identifier and the anonymized identifier are not provided to the second device.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kirill S. Lebedev, Elise Georis, Xiaoxu Wu, Alex S. Kaufman, Jialiang Mao, Wanjun Liu

Publication number: 20240112257Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a system for data monitoring. The system may receive data associated with a user. The system may determine a rating corresponding to the user based on the received data. The system may dynamically generate a score by aggregating the rating and a respective second rating of additional user(s). The system may determine whether the score satisfies a first threshold. Responsive to determining the score satisfies the first threshold, the system may cause a user device to display, via a GUI, the score in a first format. Responsive to determining the score does not satisfy the first threshold, the system may determine whether the score satisfies a second threshold. Responsive to determining the score satisfies the second threshold, the system may generate a first modified GUI comprising the score in a second format, and may cause the user device to display the first modified GUI.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Nimit Sharma, Olivia Lewis Broeker, Sripriya Tenepalli, Bonnie Vig, Alex Wu

Publication number: 20240098158Abstract: A push notification mechanism at a mobile user device provides for automated limiting of the rate of production of push notification alerts (such as an audible alert or a vibratory alert) and/or push notifications responsive to the occurrence of chat events relevant to a chat application hosted by the user device. Some chat events automatically trigger suppression periods during which push notification alerts are prevented for subsequent chat events that satisfy predefined suppression criteria. Such push notification and/or alert limiting can be performed separately for separate users, chat groups, and/or chat event types.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Alex Joseph Castro, Michael Brian Murray, William Wu

Patent number: 11915912Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing peak ion energy with a low angular spread of ions are described. In one of the systems, multiple radio frequency (RF) generators that are coupled to an upper electrode associated with a plasma chamber are operated in two different states, such as two different frequency levels, for pulsing of the RF generators. The pulsing of the RF generators facilitates a transfer of ion energy during one of the states to another one of the states for increasing ion energy during the other state to further increase a rate of processing a substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Juline Shoeb, Ying Wu, Alex Paterson
