Patent number: 11944130Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: JUUL Labs, Inc.Inventors: Samuel C. Anderson, Wei-Ling Chang, Brandon Cheung, Steven Christensen, Joseph Chun, Joseph R. Fisher, Jr., Nicholas J. Hatton, Kevin Lomeli, James Monsees, Andrew L. Murphy, Claire O'Malley, John R.

Publication number: 20240087206Abstract: Systems and methods of rendering effects are described herein. A computing device can receive a user selection of an effect to be applied during gameplay of a computer game. The computing device can initiate a framework with which to apply the effect during the gameplay. The computing device can determine scenes during the gameplay to apply the effect through the framework. The computing device can determine graphical elements in the scenes that correspond to non-user interface elements through the framework. The computing system can apply the effect to the graphical elements through the framework.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: INNOPEAK TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Hongyu SUN, Chen LI, Chengeng LI, Qiang QIU, Huihui XU, Steven JACKSON, Andrew PHAM

Patent number: 10990598Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of partitions containing records spanning a time interval, wherein the records include a set of values for a metric and a set of dimensions associated with the set of values. For each dimensional subset associated with the set of dimensions, the system aggregates, based on the set of partitions, a corresponding subset of values for the metric into a distribution-based representation of the metric. The system then stores a dictionary encoding of the dimensional subset in association with the distribution-based representation of the metric. Finally, the system calculates, based on the distribution-based representation, one or more quantiles associated with the dimensional subset and outputs the quantile(s) for use in characterizing a distribution of the metric.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Steven Pham, John C. Moon, Yumo Liu, Ruixuan Hou, Fenghuan Lu, David Q. He

Patent number: 10457449Abstract: A plastic container includes a first portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange and a second portion including an outwardly extending peripheral flange. The first portion and the second portion define a container volume. The plastic container also includes a hinge joining the peripheral flange of the first portion and the peripheral flange of the second portion. The hinge includes a pivot line and two arcuate segments proximate to respective ends of the pivot line. The pivot line is tangent the peripheral flange of the first portion and tangent to at least a portion of each arcuate segment. The flange of the first portion can extend further than the flange of the second portion proximate each end of the pivot line to create a seamless periphery about the hinge relative to a periphery of the first portion when the container is closed.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Inline Plastics Corp.Inventors: Steven Pham, Thomas Iaquinto
