Publication number: 20220417111Abstract: A plugin works with a remote desktop client that is executing on a client computing device to present a user interface of a communications application that is executing in a cloud computing environment. The plugin enables the remote desktop client to conduct audio and/or video communication with a remote computing device in a peer-to-peer manner rather than via the communications application. The plugin also enables the remote desktop client to determine a hardware-based media processing capability of the client computing device and leverage such capability in conducting the peer-to-peer audio and/or video communication with the remote computing device. Such hardware-based media processing capability may be used, for example, to process media received from the remote computing device, to process media captured from a media source of the client computing device, or as a basis for negotiating a media communication parameter with the remote computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Neil R. HINNANT, Matthew C. HOWARD, Rafael Vincent Prieto VERTIDO

Patent number: 10909403Abstract: A computing device is provided, including a display and a processor. The processor may, for each frame of a plurality of frames included in a video, determine a brightness characterization for a region of interest of the frame. The processor may determine one or more additional brightness characterizations for the region of interest of one or more additional frames of the plurality of frames. The processor may determine that a high brightness condition is present in the region of interest. The processor may generate a filter for the frame based on the brightness characterization and the one or more additional brightness characterizations. The processor may apply the filter to the region of interest of the frame to generate a filtered frame. The high brightness condition is not present in the region of interest of the filtered frame. The processor may output the filtered frame for display at the display.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Matthew Richard Wozniak, Mehmet Kucukgoz, Holly Helene Pollock, Ian Glen Neal, Rafael Vincent Prieto Vertido

Patent number: 10778932Abstract: A computing device is configured to selectively adjust a brightness of a video based on a user-specific response to light. A user-specific light response parameter is determined. For each frame of a plurality of frames included in the video, (1) a brightness characterization for the frame is determined, (2) one or more additional brightness characterizations for one or more additional frames of the plurality of frames is determined, (3) a filter for the frame is generated based on the brightness characterization, the one or more additional brightness characterizations, and the user-specific light response parameter, (4) the filter is applied to the frame to generate a filtered frame, and (5) the filtered frame is output by the computing device. The filter is configured such that if a high brightness condition is present in the frame, then the high brightness condition is mitigated or removed from the filtered frame.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Matthew Richard Wozniak, Mehmet Kucukgoz, Holly Helene Pollock, Ian Glen Neal, Rafael Vincent Prieto Vertido

Patent number: 7458524Abstract: A spray nozzle assembly includes a nozzle tip and a nozzle tip holder. The holder can be rotationally adjusted so as to change the spray pattern orientation for a nozzle tip that produces an asymmetrical spray pattern. The nozzle holder includes a keyway feature such as different sized holes that provide an indication to the operator of the nozzle pattern orientation. The holes may also be used in combination with a tool or key that allows the nozzle holder to be adjusted for a particular spray pattern orientation. The tool may optionally include a feature that indicates to an operator the spray pattern orientation. The nozzle holder may also include a recess for retaining the nozzle tip at an angle relative to an axis of the holder.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: Vincent A.
