Publication number: 20140240607Abstract: When a set-top box determines to enter a low-power state, the set-top box determines a wake-up time based on a recording schedule, a maintenance schedule, and a boot spread. Before transitioning to the low-power state, the set-top box sends a message to a schedule server with the wake-up time. The server provides services to many set-top boxes. The server uses a wake-up time schedule that includes the wake-up times for the set-top boxes that it services to determine if the wake-up time will create too much load for the server given the set-top boxes already scheduled to wake-up around the wake-up time. If the proposed wake-up time will not create too much load, the server may respond to the set-top box that the proposed wake-up is acceptable. If not, the server may propose a new wake-up time based on the schedule.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeffery Truong, Vyacheslav Leizerovich, Vivienne Catherine Lee, Christopher Elliott Fry, Paul Cooper

Publication number: 20140240640Abstract: A thin collimated backlight is provided for use in a monochrome liquid crystal display or a color liquid crystal display with color converting elements. The color converting elements are located on the opposite side of the liquid crystal panel to the backlight. The backlight is illuminated by narrow-band light sources such as single color LEDs. The backlight is formed by a lightguide, one or more conventional light controlling sheets and a polymeric filter sheet. The polymeric filter acts to: 1) reflect one polarization direction over the bandwidth of source at all angles of incidence and 2) reflect the orthogonal polarization direction over the bandwidth of the source only at high incident angles. Light in this orthogonal polarization passes through the filter when incident close to the normal to the filter sheet. Light reflected by the filter is efficiently recycled within the backlight.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Peter J.
