Publication number: 20180365614Abstract: A set of nodes are organized into a graph to represent a workflow to enable the dynamic and directed management of that workflow in a decentralized system. Each node maintains a value necessary for execution of the workflow, and includes code to populate that value. A workflow agent manages the population of the values according to an identified dependency structure for the nodes relative to the workflow. As changes are made to the workflow, the workflow agent ensures that values and dependencies of the nodes stay up-to-date. Each node retains historic values, which enables the workflow agent to query several states of the workflow throughout time as changes are made thereto. The dynamic management of the nodes improves the responsiveness of the system to changes, thereby improving computational efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2017Publication date: December 20, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael Brian Palmer, Emad Mohamed Hamdy Elwany, Justin Brooks Cranshaw, Pamela Bhattacharya, Mayerber Loureiro De Carvalho Neto, Charles Yin-che Lee, Benjamin Gene Cheung, Andres Monroy-Hernandez, Todd Daniel Newman

Patent number: 9234797Abstract: A focal plane array (FPA) imaging sensor includes an array of multiple tuning cells disposed on a monolithic substrate, in which each tuning cell includes: (a) a tunable etalon disposed in the monolithic substrate, and (b) a THz detector assembly comprised of at least two antennae disposed in the monolithic substrate. The THz detector assembly is disposed below the tunable etalon. Each tunable etalon includes a Fabry-PĂ©rot interferometer comprised of upper and lower mirrors, spaced by a gap between the mirrors, the gap forming an etalon of the interferometer. The FPA imaging sensor may also be formed as a hybrid, in which portions of the tuning cells are fabricated separately from the THz detector assembly and aligned to each other. The lower mirrors may also be fabricated monolithically with the substrate and the upper mirrors may be formed separately and then aligned to the lower mirrors.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Exelis, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Daniel Newman, Paul Poo-Kam Lee, Andrew Paul Sacco
