Patent number: 12047338Abstract: Traditional messaging applications (such as email, social networking platforms, text, instant messaging, chat, etc.) are ill-equipped for collaboration. For instance, a sender and recipients corresponding regarding a topic are often required to exchange multiple messages. As a result, determining a consensus regarding the topic or summarizing the collaboration is difficult and cumbersome. Moreover, when links are included in messages, recipients are required to navigate away from the messaging application to view the linked content. A messaging application is provided that may be configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate regarding links or data within a sent message or a receive message. In aspects, a collaborative user experience (UX) is provided, which may be an interface within a message that enables real-time collaboration between a sender and one or more recipients regarding message content—without exchanging additional messages or navigating away from the messaging application.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Leeviana Peng Gray, Sebastien Rene Vandenberghe, Kyle P. Curlett, Yan Zhong Leigh, Brian D. Meersma, Benjamin G. Wilde, Natalie Ann Mionis, Sophia Isabel Vennix, Christopher Andrews Jung, Humberto Lezama Guadarrama

Publication number: 20210395108Abstract: A distillation device may comprise a source fluid input and an evaporator in fluid communication therewith. The device may further comprise a compressor having an impeller coupled to a motor, the compressor having a low pressure inlet for vapor from the evaporator and a high pressure outlet for compressed vapor. The device may further comprise at least one temperature sensor configured to monitor temperature of vapor in the inlet and a condenser in heat transfer relationship with exterior surfaces of the evaporator and in fluid communication with the compressor outlet. The device may further comprise a controller configured to govern rotation speed of the impeller with an impeller motor command based on a calibrated motor speed for the distillation device. The controller may be configured to determine an adjusted motor speed for a next use of the device and overwrite the calibrated motor speed with the adjusted motor speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Ryan K.
