Patent number: 11929211Abstract: A multi-layer capacitor including a capacitor element having at least two segments. Each segment includes multiple layer planes, including ceramic dielectric layers and electrode layers arranged therebetween, which are arranged in a layer sequence one above the other. The electrode layers include different electrodes, including at least first and second electrodes. The different electrodes overlap in active regions but not in passive regions. Multiple segments are arranged one above the other in a stack direction. The outermost dielectric layers of two segments form a connection region in which the segments are fixedly connected to each other parallel to the layer planes. The connection region contains a relief region. The relief region occupies at least the entire passive region of the capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: TDK Electronics AGInventors: Thorsten Bayer, Michael Schossmann

Patent number: 9813403Abstract: Various methods and systems for securing communications with enhanced media platforms, are provided. In particular, an enhanced media platform is authenticated using a trusted location. The authenticated enhanced media platform establishes a bidirectional trust with an enhanced remote location, the enhanced media platform being stored in the enhanced remote location. Upon authentication and establishing the bidirectional trust, the enhanced media platform may securely communicate media content in a media content distribution service infrastructure while supporting custom functionality. The method for securing communications with enhanced media platforms includes communicating authentication credentials to an internal security component at the trusted location. The method further includes receiving validation credentials from the internal security component. The method also includes authenticating the enhanced remote location based on at least a portion of the validation credentials received.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jean-Emile Elien, Daniel Collins Balma, Rocco Crea, III, Michael Brendan Frei, Paul Stephen Hellyar, Victor Tan, Kye Hyun Kim, Travis J.

Patent number: 9467526Abstract: Cooperative interaction of a message processor and an intermediation processor. The message processor processes messages received from a network and to be sent over a network. The intermediation processor intermediates between the message processor and the network using a shared memory that includes a memory portion that is within the address space of the message processor. The message processor writes messages into the memory portion over a physical channel and reads message from the memory portion over the physical channel. The intermediation processor provides messages received from a network into the memory portion so that the received messages can be read by the message processor over the physical channel. The intermediation processor dispatches messages written to the memory portion by the message processor over the network.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Paul Stephen Hellyar, Kye Hyun Kim, Anthony Vincent Discolo, Andres Vega-Garcia, Chad Wesley Wahlin, Travis J.

Patent number: 9421465Abstract: A system that contains multiple game servers that have a non-user specific unused state, and a user-specific game state. When the game server is providing a game service on the other hand, the game server first obtains the user data for the user and game that is to be initiated. Accordingly, the game servers may be thought of as a bank of game servers, any one of which being potentially utilizable for incoming game requests. Once the game session is completed, the user data for the gamer may be deleted, and the game server goes back into the pool of available generic game servers. The user data is downloaded from a user data store, and may be quite limited to perhaps just that portion of the user data that relates to the game to be played.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2014Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Russell Alexander, Daniel Kyle Taylor, Justin Layne Nordin, Daniel Ryan Mitchell, Malia Rebecca Guerrero, Kurt Mar, Roger Arthur Roach, Travis J.

Publication number: 20150350340Abstract: A data center controller that maintains operation of at least one of its constituent headless hardware devices. An example of a headless hardware device may be server, or a server blade. The data center controller identifies that a particular headless hardware device has an unmanaged state, which means the headless hardware device is non-bootable without further code. In response, the data center controller decides which of one or more operational supplements are to be installed on the headless hardware device. The one or more operational supplements are sufficient at least to transition the headless hardware device from an unmanaged state to a managed state, thus allowing the headless hardware device to complete the boot process. The operational supplement(s) might include a management interface through which the data center controller might provide further management instructions to the headless hardware device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2014Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Paul Stephen Hellyar, Chad Wesley Wahlin, Kye Hyun Kim, Anthony Vincent Discolo, John Paul Lynker, JR., Russell Alexander, Travis J.
