Patent number: 11895812Abstract: A computing component is described. The computing component includes a cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material. In some embodiments, the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material may have a cosmetic surface and a protrusion surface. The computing component includes a protrusion extending from the protrusion surface of the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material. In some embodiments, the cosmetic surface of the cosmetic prefabricated sheet of material is uniform in appearance to the naked eye. In some embodiments, the protrusion may have a base and an end. The base may have a cross-sectional width and the end may have a cross-sectional width. A difference in the cross-sectional width of the base and the cross-sectional width of the end may be less than 250 microns.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Lincoln Matthew Ghioni, Gary Russell McClary, Lawrence David Azzano, Minh Cao Nguyen, Scott Jeffrey Korn

Patent number: 11670973Abstract: A charging system for a peripheral device, such as a stylus, including orientation control. The charging system includes charging circuitry and magnets. The magnets are configured so that they attract the peripheral device to an engagement surface when it is in a first orientation relative to the engagement surface so that charging circuitry in a peripheral device portion couples with charging circuitry in a charger portion. The magnets are configured so that they also repel and rotate the peripheral device when it is in a second orientation relative to the engagement surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Patrick Thomas Gaule, Jazmine Ama Hoyle, Yauhen Radzikevich, Anthony James Hewett, Scott Jeffrey Korn, Ketan R. Shah, Katherine Margaret Bailey, Woo Ram Lee, Wenzhao Zhang, Nicolas Jean-Claude Schmitt, Ibrahim Iskender Kushan, Jay Michael Fassett, James Alec Ishihara

Patent number: 11144092Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include connection mechanisms for a peripheral computing device to connect with a mobile computing device. The peripheral computing device may include a device interface component that defines part of the connection mechanisms, and an electrical connection protrusion extending from the device interface component and configured to insert in a corresponding electrical receptacle of a computing device. The device interface component may also include a magnetically connectable docking member configured to magnetically attract or to be magnetically attracted to a corresponding docking component on the computing device. The device interface component may further include a support rail configured to support the electrical connection protrusion and the magnetically connectable docking member. The support rail may comprise a shoulder configured to define a pivot point to guide connecting the peripheral computing device with the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Anthony James Hewett, Katherine Margaret Bailey, Ketan R. Shah, Yajing Liu, Karsten Aagaard, Scott Jeffrey Korn, Christopher Alan Schafer, Cesar Ambriz Rios, Alex Sai Cheong Cheng
