Patent number: 9661770Abstract: Techniques for graphic formation via material ablation described. In at least some implementations, a graphic is applied to a surface of an object by ablating layers of the object to form an ablation trench in the shape of the graphic. In at least some embodiments, an object can include a surface layer and multiple sublayers of materials. When an ablation trench is generated in the object, the ablation trench can penetrate a surface layer of the object and into an intermediate layer. In at least some implementations, height variations in an object surface caused by an ablation trench can cause variations in light reflection properties such that a graphic applied via the ablation trench appears at a different color tone than a surrounding surface, even if the ablation trench and the surrounding surface are coated with a same colored coating.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2013Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mark Thomas McCormack, Raj N. Master, Michael Joseph Lane, Krishna Darbha, Ralf Groene, James Alec Ishihara, Joshua James Fischer

Patent number: 9205486Abstract: Metal alloy injection molding techniques are described. In one or more implementations, these techniques may also include adjustment of injection pressure, configuration of runners, and/or use of vacuum pressure, and so on to encourage flow of the metal alloy through a mold. Techniques are also described that utilize protrusions to counteract thermal expansion and subsequent contraction of the metal alloy upon cooling. Further, techniques are described in which a radius of edges of a feature is configured to encourage flow and reduce voids. A variety of other techniques are also described herein.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2012Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Paul C.

Publication number: 20140148938Abstract: Techniques for object profile for object machining are described. In at least some implementations, an object profile is generated by measuring attributes of an object, such as its dimensions. The object profile can correspond to a data representation of object attributes. The object profile is employed to determine a machining path for machining the object based on a particular design and/or pattern. In at least some implementations, an alignment guide is generated that enables an object to be positioned for machining by a machining device. The alignment guide, for instance, can correspond to a particular position in a coordinate space. Aligning an object with the alignment guide includes moving the object (e.g., rotationally and/or translationally) to align with the alignment guide. When aligned with the alignment guide, the object can be machined according to a specified object profile and/or pattern.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Allen Dayong Zhang, Massood Nikkhah, Michael Joseph Lane, Cao Zhiqiang, Andrew William Hill
