Publication number: 20200368776Abstract: An apparatus and a method for surface coating by means of grid control and plasma-initiated gas-phase polymerization. The method comprises: dividing a vacuum chamber into a discharging cavity (2) and a processing chamber (3) by using a metal grid mesh (1), the metal grid mesh (1) being insulated from the vacuum chamber; separately feeding carrier gas and monomer steam into the discharging cavity (2) and the processing chamber (3) through different pipes (4, 5), putting a substrate to be processed (11) in the processing chamber (3), and generating in the discharging cavity (2) plasma that continuously discharges; and applying pulse positive bias to the metal grid mesh (1), to release the plasma into the processing chamber (3) to initiate monomer polymerization.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventor: Jian ZONG ZONG

Patent number: 9876986Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate describing, communicating, utilizing, etc. a frame dependency structure in connection with real time video communication. For example, a protocol can be employed to communicate the dependency structure from a sender to a receiver. Moreover, a mechanism on a receiver side can detect frame(s) that will be rendered with artifacts if displayed due to previous frame loss; this mechanism can leverage receiver side knowledge concerning the dependency structure of the of the frames.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jingyu Qiu, Timothy M. Moore, Zong Zong Yuan, Regis J. Crinon

Patent number: 7957307Abstract: An error correction system determines a level of error correction protection to apply to a frame of video data to be transmitted by a sending endpoint to a receiving endpoint based on the predicted impact of packet loss as well as the importance of the frame based on inter-frame dependencies, frame size, packet loss probability, historical packet loss pattern, central processing unit (CPU) load, and available network bandwidth. At the receiving endpoint, when packet loss is detected for a particular frame, the receiving endpoint will attempt to recover the frame using protection packets received along with the video data.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2007Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jingyu Qiu, Timothy M. Moore, Guo-Wei Shieh, Zong Zong Yuan, Regis Crinon, Arvind Jayasundar

Patent number: 7664246Abstract: Systems, methods, and/or techniques (“tools”) are described that sort speakers in a network-enabled conference. In some cases, this sorted list of speakers indicates which speaker is dominant. With this sorted list, a participant's communication device may provide context about the speakers. In some cases a participant's communication device has a display that presents real-time video of the speakers or other visual indicia, such as each or the most dominant speaker's name, picture, title, or location. These and other context about speakers may help participants better understand discussions in network-enabled conferences.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2006Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anton W. Krantz, Dalibor Kukoleca, Wei Zhong, Guo-Wei Shieh, Zong Zong Yuan, Tim M Moore, Danny Levin, Michael R VanBuskirk
