Patent number: 10733710Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for beautifying raw drawing data include a beautification engine having a raw data processor that receives the drawing data and identifies a set of segments in the data. A beautification director constructs a structural representation of the set of segments data that specifies a topological relationship between the segments. A single primitive beautifier identifies a segment in the structural representation to be beautified and a single primitive beautification action is applied to the segment to generate beautified raw drawing data. A multiple primitive beautifier identifies adjacent segments in the structural representation to be beautified and a multiple beautification action is applied to the adjacent segments to generate further beautified drawing data.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Tianyi Chen, Xiao Tu, Sheng Yi, Kyle Thomas Beck, Reed L. Townsend, Megan L. Fu

Publication number: 20180181245Abstract: A computing system includes a capacitive touch-display including a plurality of touch-sensing pixels, a digitizer configured to generate one or more capacitive grid maps, and an operating system. Each capacitive grid map includes a capacitance value for each of the plurality of touch-sensing pixels. The controller may be configured to receive the one or more capacitive grid maps directly from the digitizer, identify one or more touch inputs based on the one or more capacitive grid maps, and determine a dominant hand of a user based on the one or more touch inputs.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2018Publication date: June 28, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kyle Thomas Beck, Connor Weins, Fei Su, David Abzarian, Austin Bradley Hodges, Andrew Pyon Mittereder

Patent number: 9734158Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata, searchable text, and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. Search data from the placeholders is integrated into a local search database of the client such that the client is able to satisfy queries and identify relevant local and remote file system objects even when the client is offline with respect to remote storage.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael John Novak, Chris Guzak, Sangeeta Ranjit, Scott David Hoogerwerf, Amnon Itamar Govrin, Marc Wautier, Kiernon Reiniger, Kyle Thomas Beck, Relja Ivanovic, Oded Yehuda Shekel, Tyler Kien Beam
