Patent number: 10049614Abstract: An OLED degradation compensation system includes a display system having an OLED display device. A computing device is coupled to the display system and includes an OLED display device adjustment database storing an OLED table that is associated with a usage time of the OLED display device and that includes OLED compensation information that is based upon the usage time. An OLED display device use tracking engine in the computing system determines usage data for the OLED display device. An OLED display device adjustment engine in the computing system retrieves the usage data determined by the OLED display device use tracking engine, uses the usage data to select the OLED table in response to the usage data corresponding to the usage time associated with the OLED table, and causes at least one OLED in the OLED display device to be powered using the OLED compensation information in the OLED table.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2015Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Stefan Peana, Jace Files, Kenneth W. Stufflebeam, Jr.

Patent number: 7275167Abstract: A computing system that incorporates an auxiliary processor to the main system processor. The auxiliary system utilizes a separate application runtime for processes and is capable of operating even when the primary system is in an off state. Methods for load-balancing are provided based on computing needs respective to power consumption requirements. Processes that are not computationally intensive are processed by a low-power, auxiliary processor. In addition, peripheral components accessible to the overall computing system are shared.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2006Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adrian M. Chandley, Chad L. Magendanz, Christopher Allen Schoppa, Dale C. Crosier, Jason Michael Anderson, Juan J. Perez, Kenneth W. Stufflebeam, Jr., Pasquale DeMaio, Steven T. Kaneko, William J. Westerinen
