Patent number: 12267921Abstract: A luminaire includes a first light source and a second light source, the first and second light source operatively configured to provide amounts of light independently controllable during operation; and an optical system having an input aperture system and an output aperture system. The output aperture system is displaced by a predetermined distance along a forward direction from the input aperture system. The optical system is operatively coupled with the first and second light source and configured to direct light received at the input aperture system to the output aperture system. The output aperture system is configured to output light from the first light source in first directions and light from the second light source in second directions at least in part different from the first directions.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Quarkstar LLCInventors: Eric Bretschneider, Louis Lerman, Ferdinand Schinagl, Andrew Stuart Gladwin

Patent number: 12204858Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for filtering predictive text surfacing candidates are provided. A predictive text filtering model may be maintained. The predictive text filtering model may comprise a plurality of terms that are associated in the predictive text filtering model with a precarious classification, and a range of a number of words for filtering cooccurrences of precarious and other precarious or blocklist terms from the plurality of terms. A text input may be processed with a predictive text model. A plurality of surfacing candidates may be determined based on the processing of the text input with the predictive text model. The predictive text filtering model may be applied to a surfacing candidate of the plurality of candidates. The surfacing candidate may be filtered from further processing. At least one non-filtered surfacing candidate may be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2021Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Andrew Stuart Glass, Margaret Hope Magnus, Roland Radtke, Claes-Fredrik Urban Mannby

Publication number: 20250020569Abstract: Detection of microplastics is accomplished using a combination of techniques. A position-detection technique such as crossed-polarization detection, autofluorescence detection, or photothermal infrared imaging is used to determine the locations of microplastics in a sample. Infrared absorption can be detected at those locations to characterize the microplastics. In this way the microplastic content can be located and characterized more quickly and accurately than using conventional techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2023Publication date: January 16, 2025Inventors: Craig Prater, Kevin Kjoller, Eoghan Dillon, Andrew Stuart

Patent number: 11947909Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for determining a language of a text string are presented. A language detection model may be maintained. The language detection model may comprise identities and weights for initial and final consonants, identities and weights for prefixes and suffixes, and identities and weights for vowel sequences, where each identity is derived from a training corpus. The weights may correspond to a frequency of a text unit in the corpus. A text string may be received and a match score between the text string and the language of the language detection model may be determined. The match score may be based on initial and final consonant scores, prefix and suffix scores, and/or vowel sequence scores for each word in the text string. If the match score meets a threshold value a follow-up action associated with the language may be performed.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Andrew Stuart Glass, Margaret Hope Magnus, Roland Radtke

Patent number: 11879426Abstract: A rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade defining a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Further, the rotor blade assembly includes at least one structural feature secured within the rotor blade and spaced apart from the trailing edge to define a void between the pressure side, the suction side, and the trailing edge. Moreover, the rotor blade assembly includes an adhesive filling the void between the pressure side, the suction side, and the trailing edge to provide an adhesive connection between the pressure side, the suction side, the trailing edge, and the structural feature(s). In addition, the adhesive contacts the structural feature(s) at an interface and defines a fillet profile.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: BLADE DYNAMICS LIMITEDInventors: Andrew Stuart Edge, Paul Trevor Hayden, Harald Behmer, Mark Hancock, Harry Fish

Patent number: 11809702Abstract: The disclosed technologies address various technical and user experience problems by augmenting the functionality provided by virtual on-screen trackpads without requiring users to switch between modes. In this way, users can access extended functionality without interfering with expected traditional trackpad functionality (e.g. moving a cursor, clicking, and scrolling). In particular, technologies are disclosed for modeless digital pen input to a virtual trackpad, modeless gestures for summoning user interfaces, modeless gestures utilizing position relative to adjacent user interfaces, and modeless cursor control and interaction with virtual touch targets.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Klein, Andrew Stuart Glass

Patent number: 11393451Abstract: A speech processing system configured to convey linked content to a user in a voice user interface (VUI) environment is described. The system may create output audio data that includes an audible indicator (e.g., a beep) that indicates to a user linked content. An audible indicator may be located at the beginning and/or end of linked content in the output audio data. The system may also output non-linked content in a first voice while outputting linked content in a second voice. The system may further overlay audio atop the linked portion of the output audio data, with the overlaid audio indicating the linked content to the user. A user may invoke linked content in output audio by speaking the linked content, or a portion thereof, back to the system. The system may then output the linked, additional content to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2017Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Arvind Srinivasan, Frédéric Johan Georges Deramat, Kevin Shude Lin, Saiprasad Satya Kapila, Andrew Stuart Huntwork
