Patent number: 12368364Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to a power supply device for controlling a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel in a reliable and power efficient manner. In one example, the power supply device includes a positive-side switching converter, a negative-side switching converter, and a controller. In an active-bias mode, the controller controls the positive-side switching converter and the negative-side switching converter to alternate a polarity of a bias voltage across a positive output node and a negative output node by alternating between a forward-bias state and a reverse-bias state. In a neutral-bias mode, the controller provides a neutral bias voltage across the positive output node and the negative output node.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2022Date of Patent: July 22, 2025Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chang Joon Park, Mike Voong, Brock McCray Roland

Publication number: 20250232334Abstract: Social media networking applications, web sites, and services creates implicit relationships between users based on their interest or participation in real-world and optionally virtual or online activities in addition to explicitly defined peer relationships. User profiles, activity entities, and expressions may be associated with metadata to assist in searching and navigation. Metadata is implicitly associated with user profiles, activity entities, expressions, or other data entities based on user behavior using metadata collector. A metadata collector is a poll, survey, list, questionnaire, census, test, game, or other type of presentation adapted to solicit user interaction. A metadata collector is associated with metadata elements. When users interact with a metadata collector, their user profiles and the data entities included in their interactions become associated with the metadata elements of the metadata collector. These metadata element associations may then be used for any purpose.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2025Publication date: July 17, 2025Inventors: David Gourley, Brian Totty, Ed Haslam, Paul Gauthier, Gary Lerhaupt, Mike Y.
