In an embodiment, the acousto-optic layer has a substantially planar shape defining an x-y plane and functions as an optical waveguide to optical waves and as an acoustic waveguide to acoustic waves propagating in the x-y plane. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic radiation source is optically coupled to the acousto-optic layer and configured to deliver electromagnetic radiation therein. In an embodiment, the acoustic source is acoustically coupled to the acousto-optic layer and configured to deliver acoustic energy therein and is configured to adjust a wavelength of the acoustic energy. In an embodiment, the electromagnetic radiation source and the acoustic energy source are positioned to provide an intersection between the electromagnetic radiation and the acoustic energy, which at least partially scatters light from the intersection out of the x-y plane.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTAInventors: Mo Li, Huan Li, Qiyu Liu

Patent number: 11729112Abstract: The present disclosure relate to allocating electronic resources. In some arrangements, a server configures allocable electronic resources for a live streaming room in response to receiving a first configuration request from a first client. The first configuration request is configured to indicate a first configuration operation performed by an anchor to the live streaming room, and the allocable electronic resources are associated to a target commodity corresponding to the live streaming room. The server acquires an allocation request sent by a second client, wherein the allocation request is triggered by an interactive operation of an audience of the second client in the live streaming room. The server allocates an electronic resource from the allocable electronic resources to the audience of the second client, in response to the allocation request, wherein the allocated electronic resource is used by the audience for completing an order operation about the target commodity.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: BEIJING DAJIA INTERNET INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Qiyu Liu, Yang Zhang
