Patent number: 11946722Abstract: A detector for detecting the removal and/or insertion of a weapon out of and/or into a holster. The detector may transmit a message each time the weapon is removed from the holster. A recording system may receive the message and determine whether or not it will begin recording the data it captures. A detector may detect the change in a magnitude of an inductance and/or an impedance of a circuit to detect insertion and removal of the weapon into and out of the holster. The holster is configured to couple to the detector to position the detector to detect insertion and removal of the weapon. An adhesive tape may couple a detector to a holster.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Axon Enterprise, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Joseph Wagner, Nache D. Shekarri, Jonathan R. Hatcher, John W. Wilson, Andrew G. Terajewicz, Lucas Kraft, Brian Piquette, Zachary B. Williams, Elliot William Weber, Jason W. Haensly

Patent number: 10365763Abstract: A display device comprises a sensing subsystem configured to detect one or more conditions associated with touch input to the display device occurring via a contact of an input object at a surface of the display device. The display device further comprises a microphone system configured to receive sound, a logic machine, and a storage machine holding instructions. The instructions are executable by the logic machine to determine, based on the one or more conditions, a time of the contact; determine, based on at least the time of the contact, some characteristics of the contact; and generate an audio output via applying a selective attenuation to process sound received into the microphone system. The selective attenuation is selected based on the sonic characteristics and applied over a time interval beginning at the determined time of contact.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Sean M. Donnelly, Jason D. Wilson, Denis Varlamov, Eric Immel

Patent number: 10088962Abstract: A display device includes an array of display pixels having display pixel apertures that are periodic along two orthogonal directions, x and y, at spatial frequencies fx and fy, respectively. An array of electrodes is overlaid on the array of display pixel apertures. The array of electrodes is comprised of a metal mesh having openings that are periodic along a first direction u at an angle ?u relative to x, and along a second direction v at an angle ?v relative to y, and at spatial frequencies fu and fv. The array of electrodes is overlaid on the array of display pixels such that the parameter set {?u, fx, fu, ?v, fy, fv} satisfies specific geometric criteria in order to minimize perceptible moiré patterns.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sean M.

Patent number: 10007368Abstract: Different lamination methods may be used to create a touch sensor with a darkened side of metalized film facing the user. One lamination method includes laminating a metalized film to an optically clear adhesive (OCA) layer such that an edge of the metalized film including the termination pads remain un-adhered to the OCA layer. Flex-tails may be bonded to the termination pads at a later time by bending up the un-adhered edge. Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) may be placed on the termination pads prior to laminating the metalized films. Flex-tails may be placed onto an OCA layer in a location where the termination pads on the metalized film will be located when laminated to the OCA layer. A strip of ACF may be placed on the flex-tail pads. The flex-tails may be bonded to the termination pads of the metalized film prior to the metalized film being laminated.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jason D.
