Patent number: 10664431Abstract: An advanced PCI express board assembly is mountable in a PCI express slot. The assembly includes a main board that is attached to an adapter board by a connector section that includes mechanical and electrical connectors. When the main board is attached to the adapter board, the plane defined by the main board is parallel to, and laterally offset from, the plane defined by the adapter board. The adapter board is connectable to a female PCI express connector in the PCI slot. When the adapter board is connected to the female PCI express connector, the main board plane is perpendicular to the motherboard and is laterally offset from the PCI express slot. More and larger components can be placed on the main board while the assembly remains within the reserved PCI express space.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Inventors: Michael Feldman, Boris Feldman

Patent number: 10481660Abstract: Data storage device has a super-capacitor, a control unit with multiple operational states, non-volatile memory, and a bus connected to a computing device with a separate power source. The control unit state is set by the power level of the computing device and the super-capacitor. In a backup state, the control unit stores backup data from the computing device in the non-volatile memory using power from the super-capacitor. In an inactive state, the control unit does not receive power from the super-capacitor. The control unit is set to the backup state when the device power level is less than a first threshold and the super-capacitor voltage level is greater than a second threshold. The control unit is set to the inactive state when the super-capacitor voltage level decreases below a third threshold that is less than the second threshold by more than the dielectric absorption voltage gain of the super-capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Inventors: Michael Feldman, Boris Feldman

Patent number: 9996495Abstract: An advanced PCI Express board assembly is intended for efficiently placing more electronic components or modules having a large height (up to 8.57 mm) in comparison with traditional PCI Express add-in boards. This assembly comprises two PCBs connected together. The first one has the minimum possible sizes. This PCB includes a PCI Express male edge connector and is intended to be plugged in to motherboard female PCI Express connector. The second PCB is parallel to first one and is located in the middle of the space (slot) defined for one add-in PCI Express board. This position makes possible to place high electronic components or modules on the both sides (top and bottom) of the second PCB.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Inventors: Michael Feldman, Boris Feldman

Publication number: 20160034412Abstract: PCI Express Cluster dedicated for system expansion through installation of up to four high-performance PCI Express boards (example: graphics processing units—GPU). Cluster includes a special chassis and a backplane. Add-in PCI Express boards are plugged into PCI Express connectors that are located on both sides of the backplane (two on the top side and two on the bottom side); said boards are specially oriented, relative to each other, thereby ensuring that all component sides of said four PCI Express boards will be directed outwards. This type of PCI Express board placement allows the cooling fans, located on the component side of each PCI Express board, to intake cooling air at ambient temperature, and to eliminate the possibility of airflow obstruction or intake of air that has already been heated by nearby boards. PCI Express Cluster can be connected to host computer in the first implementation or operate independently as a stand-alone device in the second implementation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2014Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventors: Michael Feldman, Boris Feldman

Publication number: 20150324846Abstract: Aspects of the present invention utilize card-linked offer data to determine a user's interests. In one aspect, the card-linked offer data is analyzed by a card-linked offer system to determine user interests. The user interests are then transferred to other applications, such as a search engine or advertising system, that use the interest information to select relevant content. In another aspect, the card-linked offer data is transferred to other applications that use the data to determine user interests. The card-linked offer data may be combined with other information, such as a user's browsing history, search history, social network posts, and such, to determine a user's interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2014Publication date: November 12, 2015Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: BORIS FELDMAN, GENE M.

Publication number: 20150112778Abstract: Aspects of the present invention describe an offer service that incentivizes people to share offer invitations with other people. An offer invitation gives a person an opportunity to subscribe to a customized offer with an incentive (e.g., a discount on a good or service) provided by a vendor. The offer invitation can take many forms. In one aspect, the offer invitation is a digital communication (e.g., a text, email, social post) that provides some details and provides a means to subscribe to the offer. The offer invitation can be passed between users that each receives a different offer upon subscribing to the offer. A user may receive a different sharing incentive based on the sharing mechanism he uses to share a user invitation. For example, a user may receive a larger incentive when he shares an offer invitation through his social network than when he shares via email.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: BORIS FELDMAN, JOSE SAURA, GENE MICHAEL DECLARK

Publication number: 20140372193Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention automatically link users to card-linked offers. A card-linked offer is an incentive tied to a user's credit card or other form of electronic payment. To be eligible to receive offers, a user may choose to link one or more of their credit cards within the service. The incentive associated with the offer is automatically given to the user when a payment method linked to this service is used to make the purchase. Embodiments of the present invention automatically associate linked offers with users who are presumed to have an interest in the offer. Machine learning algorithms and classifiers may be used to identify a user's interests and match them with offers for a product or service that fits their interests. When an offer is autolinked, the user receives a notification. Various methods of providing the notification are possible including email, text, and geolocation-based notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: ERIK MARK JORGENSEN, JOSE SAURA, BORIS FELDMAN

Publication number: 20130306267Abstract: The proposed advanced multi-level protective system comprises two types of barriers, harmoniously complementing to each other: a portable barrier for the protection of individual houses at the height of the floods up to 0.8-0.9 meters, and more powerful protective quick-installable barriers, suitable for mechanized installation and resistant to higher water flows up to 1.2-2 meters. The proposed advanced protective system comprises a number of additional means capable of weakening against dangerous natural processes that give rise strong water flows, and these means can weaken these flows and increase the efficiency of proposed protective barriers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2012Publication date: November 21, 2013Inventors: Boris Feldman, Michael Feldman

Publication number: 20100211865Abstract: Many web developers spend significant time investigating and/or mitigating inconsistencies that may present when a web page is rendered across different browsers. Most websites are developed for multiple versions of one or more web browser and/or for multiple versions of one or more platforms. As provided herein, a cross-browser page visualization may be generated. A visualization may comprise a Document Object Model (DOM) associated with a screenshot image of a web page rendered within an available browser. Multiple visualizations may be created using locally installed browsers and/or remote browsers. The visualizations provide high-fidelity browser renderings coupled with underlying styling and/or DOM information that may be used to interrogate and/or annotate the screenshot image, thus allowing a web page to be developed that can be desirably rendered on different browsers, different operating systems and/or on different versions of the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2009Publication date: August 19, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael C.
