Patent number: 11767384Abstract: Polyethylene copolymers with a structure that provides improved film properties are provided. The copolymers can have a density of about 0.905 to about 0.911 g/cm3. The copolymers can also have a DRI/I2 ratio of about 0.0008 to about 0.060, an I2 value of about 0.6 to about 3.8 dg/min, and an I21 value of about 8 to about 57 dg/min. The copolymers having those properties can be produced by introducing ethylene and at least one other olefin comonomer to a single reactor at a comonomer/ethylene mole ratio of about 0.02 to about 0.03 and polymerizing at a temperature of about 76.7° C. to about 80.6° C. and a pressure of about 1,724 kPa to about 2,413 kPa. The copolymers can be used to make films having a 21 mol % O2 transmission rate of about 150 to about 200 cc/100 in2/24 hr. and hot tack seal initiation temperatures of about 65° C. to 80° C.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Porter C. Shannon, Handel D. Bennett, Nathaniel B. Guy, Daniel G. O'Neil, James L. Schulze, Michael G. Tribo

Publication number: 20220060455Abstract: An edge computing device includes a System-on-Module (SoM) device that communicates over USB to provide security and provides hardware artificial intelligence acceleration and hardware encryption to the edge computing device. The SoM device includes a hardware encryption module with an encryption key shared between the SoM device and the cloud server that creates an identity for the SoM device and secure authentication of the identity of the SoM device between the SoM device and a cloud server. The hardware encryption module is configured to have a secure root of trust, the ability to attest software containers distributed from the cloud server, and protect data processed on the SoM device and transmitted to the cloud server.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2020Publication date: February 24, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Daniel ROSENSTEIN, David R.

Patent number: 11061436Abstract: The description relates to devices, such as computing devices that have hinged portions. One example can include a first portion and a second portion. The example can also include a first exoskeletal hinge segment secured to the first portion and a second exoskeletal hinge segment secured to the second portion. The first exoskeletal hinge segment can define an arcuate tab that travels in an arcuate cavity defined by the second exoskeletal hinge segment to allow relative rotation between the first and second portions.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Daniel G.

Patent number: 8411037Abstract: A keyboard key has a key portion that forms a cantilevered beam pivotable about an axis. A switch is disposed relative to the cantilevered beam, such that rotation of the cantilever beam about the axis causes depression of the switch. The switch is offset from an applied force-receiving portion of the key portion. A touch sensitive key also includes a touch sensor detecting contact with the key portion of the key. The invention can be extended such that the key portion is formed of transparent or semi-transparent material. The invention can also be extended to include touch sensitive areas on any portion of an upper case of the computer keyboard.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2007Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Glen C. Larsen, Daniel G. O'Neil, Scott M. Mail, David M. Lane
