Publication number: 20240143382Abstract: An example virtualized computing system includes: a host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts, the virtualization layer supporting execution of virtual machines (VMs); an orchestration control plane integrated with the virtualization layer, the orchestration control plane including a master server executing in a first VM of the VMs; guest cluster infrastructure software (GCIS) executing in the master server, the GCIS configured to create a set of objects defining a container orchestration cluster, and manage lifecycles of second VMs of the VMs based on state of the set of objects; and guest software executing in the second VMs to implement the container orchestration cluster as a guest cluster of the host cluster, the guest software having components that interface with the GCIS.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Zachary James SHEPHERD, Derek William BEARD, George Gregory HICKEN, Mark Russell JOHNSON, Jared Sean ROSOFF, Joseph Stephen BEDA, Konstantinos ROUSSOS

Patent number: 7453474Abstract: Vector graphics may be flexibly resized. Pins are associated with vector graphics control points, and when a canvas is resized, the pin locations are scaled according to the canvas resizing, and the control points associated with the pin are scaled according to a different positioning scheme. Pins may be fixed in location relative to the pin location, or may scale only in one direction. Control points not associated with a pin are scaled according to the canvas resizing. Other embodiments allow regions to be defined, in which control points are governed by a different positioning scheme, or allow a grid lines to be drawn defining the canvas into slices, where each slice is assigned a specific positioning scheme.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2003Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Peter Faraday, Charles Robert Stoner, Joseph Stephen Beda, Kenneth Young, Bo Zhang

Patent number: 7262775Abstract: A graphical display animation system is disclosed that supports timed modification of element property values of elements within a graphical display. The animation system utilizes a display structure for maintaining a set of elements corresponding to displayed objects within a graphically displayed scene. The elements include a variable property value. The animation system also utilizes a property system that maintains properties associated with elements maintained by the display structure. The properties include dynamic properties that are capable of changing over time—and thus affecting the appearance of the corresponding element on a graphical display. The animation system includes animation classes, from which animation objects are instantiated and associated with an element property at runtime. The animation object instances provide time varying values affecting values assigned to the dynamic properties maintained by the property system.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2003Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matt Calkins, Joseph Stephen Beda, III, Kevin Gallo, Gilman K. Wong, Leonardo Esteban Blanco
