Patent number: 11941222Abstract: A channel graphical user interface (GUI) of a content sharing platform is provided for presentation to a channel owner. A request is received, via the channel GUI, to enable an online community option that (i) facilitates an online conversation between the channel owner and a subset of viewers of the channel of the channel owner on the content sharing platform, and (ii) allows the channel owner to control viewer responses that are permitted during the online conversation. In response to the request of the channel owner to enable the online community option, the online community option is associated with the channel in a data store, and the channel GUI is modified, the modified channel GUI presenting an online community GUI element representing the online community option.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Renato Verdugo, Kiley McEvoy, Shannon Butler, Paul Heider, Molly Nix, Nicholas Jones, Eric Mayers

Patent number: 11911842Abstract: A crystalline material processing method includes forming subsurface laser damage at a first average depth position to form cracks in the substrate interior propagating outward from at least one subsurface laser damage pattern, followed by imaging the substrate top surface, analyzing the image to identify a condition indicative of presence of uncracked regions within the substrate, and taking one or more actions responsive to the analyzing. One potential action includes changing an instruction set for producing subsequent laser damage formation (at second or subsequent average depth positions), without necessarily forming additional damage at the first depth position. Another potential action includes forming additional subsurface laser damage at the first depth position.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: WOLFSPEED, INC.Inventors: Matthew Donofrio, John Edmond, Harshad Golakia, Eric Mayer

Patent number: 10186644Abstract: Described herein are LED chips incorporating self-aligned floating mirror layers that can be configured with contact vias. These mirror layers can be utilized to reduce dim areas seen around the contact vias due to underlying material layers without the need for the mirror layer to be designed at some tolerance distance from the electrical via. This increases mirror area, eliminating lower light reflection in the proximity of the via and producing higher light output with greater light emission uniformity. In some embodiments, the mirror layer is formed with a contact via. This allows for a self-aligning process and results in the mirror layer extending substantially from the edge of the via.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Eric Mayer, Jae Park, Manuel L.
