Patent number: 11572975Abstract: A device for supporting an electronic display includes a base, a display mount having a first position and a second position relative to the base, and a connection mechanism positioned between the base and the display mount. The connection mechanism is configured to rotate and translate the display mount from the first position to the second position according to a torque curve. The torque curve includes a discovery stage adjacent the first position, an initiation stage rotationally after the discovery stage, and an approach stage rotationally after the initiation stage. The connection mechanism applies a force toward the first position in the discovery stage. The connection mechanism having an initiation force applied toward the first position that is greater than the force in the discovery stage. The approach stage having an approach force applied toward the second position.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kae-Ling Jacquline Gurr, Jonne Aapi Harju, Eric Paul Witt, Timothy Guyton Escolin, Ryan Eugene Whitaker, Young Soo Kim, James David Wahl, Daniel Clark Park, Bruce James Sandmeyer, Scott Ashley Rutschman, William Loren Emery

Patent number: 11223890Abstract: An electronic device for playing audio information to a user includes a body and an ear insert. The body has a speaker therein. The ear insert includes an integrated fin and sound director. The fin and sound director are oriented opposite one another at opposite ends of the ear insert in a longitudinal direction. The fin and sound director each project beyond the body in the longitudinal direction. The sound director is in audio communication with the speaker to direct sound from the speaker through and out of the sound director.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kaitlyn Marley Schoeck, Timothy Guyton Escolin, John Richard Morris

Patent number: 10627854Abstract: A device for supporting an electronic display includes a base, a display mount, and a connection mechanism positioned between the base and the display mount. The display mount is movably connected to the base and movable between a first position and a second position. The connection mechanism is configured to couple a rotation of the display mount relative to base to a translation of the display mount relative to the base such that the display mount experiences rotation and translation when the display mount is moved between the first position and the second position.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kae-Ling Jacquline Gurr, Jonne Aapi Harju, Eric Paul Witt, Timothy Guyton Escolin, Ryan Eugene Whitaker, Young Soo Kim, James David Wahl, Daniel Clark Park, Bruce James Sandmeyer, Scott Ashley Rutschman, William Loren Emery
