Patent number: 11955763Abstract: An apparatus may include a diode-pumped solid-state laser oscillator configured to output a pulsed laser beam, a modulator configured to modify an energy and a temporal profile of the pulsed laser beam, and an amplifier configured to amplify an energy of the pulse laser beam. A modified and amplified beam to laser peen a target part may have an energy of about 5 J to about 10 J, an average power (defined as energy (J)×frequency (Hz)) of from about 25 W to about 200 W, with a flattop beam uniformity of less than about 0.2. The diode-pumped solid-state oscillator may be configured to output a beam having both a single longitudinal mode and a single transverse mode, and to produce and output beams at a frequency of about 20 Hz.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Sunrise International, Inc.Inventors: Jeff Dulaney, David W. Sokol, Mark E. O'Loughlin, Keith Glover, Gary May

Publication number: 20230330772Abstract: An apparatus for directing a laser beam to a workpiece surface includes a housing having a laser beam exit aperture. The apparatus further includes an output optical device configured to emit a converging laser beam. The converging laser beam is centered on an axis and is directed outward from the housing through the exit aperture toward a workpiece surface. A water nozzle outlet is arranged to discharge a stream of overlay water toward the workpiece surface. An air nozzle outlet is arranged to discharge a stream of air in a direction transverse to the axis at a location axially between the water nozzle and the exit aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: LSP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gary A. Walzer, Jeffrey A. Jewell, Devin R. Hilty, Erich Zelmer, Daniel Merrifield, Michael Snethen, Mark Bloomberg, Keith Glover, Avery Calhoun, Adam Hinerman, Roger S. Weikel, Tim Gorman

Publication number: 20230098272Abstract: An apparatus is provided, the apparatus comprising: (i) a diode-pumped solid-state laser oscillator configured to generate a pulsed laser beam having predefined beam characteristics corresponding to a current setting selection of a controller; and (ii) an amplifier configured to amplify an energy and modify a beam profile of the pulse laser beam. A beam detector is coupled to the generated beam to monitor a combination of: (i) a beam pulse width; (ii) a beam diameter; and (iii) an energy level, and generates an error signal to be sent back as a feedback signal to the controller. The controller configures the current source to output a correction current to tune the DPSSL oscillator, the wave plate, and the first polarizer to rotate a correction polarization angle and adjust the energy amplification or temporal profile to within a defined performance tolerance.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: LSP Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tianyi Michael Yao, Jeff L Dulaney, Keith Glover, Daniel Merrifield, Mark E.

Patent number: 11443052Abstract: A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A first request to cause a portion of the data to be associated with a heightened authentication protocol is received. In response, the portion of the data is caused to require the heightened authentication protocol for access. A second request for a file that is stored in the area that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol is received. The second request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the second request, permission is granted to access the file. In response to a failure to authenticate the second request, access to the file is denied, while access to files stored in other areas associated with the user account is allowed.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Filip C. Lazar, Steven J. Bailey, John D. Rodrigues, Andrew Keith Glover, Jyotsana Rathore, Jose A. Barreto, Kevin Andrew Chan, Gregory P. Young, Jacob C. Schieber, Jackson Cowan, Meir E. Abergel

Patent number: 11032367Abstract: A system and method for detection and management of atypical synchronization sessions of electronic content. The system is configured to determine whether a pending or ongoing synchronization session between a client device and cloud storage service is associated with a condition that will delay the synchronization process. The proposed system and method can significantly improve the ability of users to safeguard their documents as well as reduce the likelihood of data loss.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jose Araujo Barreto, Filip Chelarescu, Andrew Keith Glover, John David Rodrigues, Meir Elie Abergel, Steven J.

Patent number: 8706820Abstract: Techniques described herein allow applications that are separate from a mail client to provide conditions and actions for rules to be run upon messages received by or sent from the mail client. That is, these techniques allow a user to create a rule that includes an action and/or a condition that is provided by an application that is separate from the mail client. This created rule may then be run upon either or both of messages received by or sent from the mail client. When a rule includes a condition or an action that is provided by a separate application, the mail client exposes the message to the separate application to allow the application to test the condition and/or perform the action. As such, these techniques allow applications to seamlessly create and provide conditions and actions that are tailored to each particular application.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2008Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrew Keith Glover, Long Zhou, Anthony G Thane
