Patent number: 10983856Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for identifying root causes of performance issues. During operation, the system obtains a call graph containing a set of call paths for a set of services. Next, the system determines, based on a load test of the set of services, severity scores for the set of services, wherein the severity scores represent levels of abnormal behavior in the set of services. The system then groups the severity scores by the set of call paths and identifies, based on the grouped severity scores, one or more services as potential root causes of performance issues in the set of services. Finally, the system outputs the identified one or more services as the potential root causes of the performance issues.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yi Zhen, Yung-Yu Chung, Yang Yang, Bo Long

Patent number: 10973748Abstract: The composition includes a cyclic, unsaturated compound, preferably a polyphenol derivative. It reduces the synthesis of melanin by inhibiting the activity and expression levels of tyrosinase and related proteins, thereby preventing and limiting the content and distribution of melanin in mammalian skin. It also induces autophagy of melanosome, thereby restricting the synthesis, storage and transfer of melanin from melanocyte to keratinocyte. The dual modes of action allow for the efficacy of the composition at low dosage without causing toxicity to lighten skin and treat disorders associated with hyperpigmentation.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2016Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: VERSITECH LIMITEDInventors: Mingfu Wang, Shu Ting Hu, Yi Zhen Wu

Patent number: 10423821Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for automated profile image generation based on scheduled video conferences. A profile image generation system generates, based on image data captured during a first video conference, a first facial feature data set for a first identified face identified from the image data. The first facial feature data set includes numeric values representing the first identified face. The profile image generation system calculates, based on the first facial feature data set and historic facial feature data sets generated from image data captured during previous video conferences, a first value indicating a likelihood that the first identified face is a first meeting participant that participated in the first video conference. The profile image generation system determines that the first value meets or exceeds a threshold value, and in response, determines that the first identified face is the first meeting participant.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Florian Raudies, Yi Zhen, Ajith Muralidharan, Yiming Ma
