摘要： A hierarchy of 2D visual objects and 3D scene objects are integrated for seamless processing to render 2D images including a 2D view of a 3D scene on a 2D computer display. The processing of the 3D model objects and 2D visual objects in the visual hierarchy is integrated so that the processing is readily handed off between 3D and 2D operations. Further the number of transitions between processing visual 2D objects and 3D model objects when creating a display image has no architectural limit. A data structure integrates computer program objects for creating 3D images and 2D images in a visual tree object hierarchy having visual 2D objects or 3D scene objects pointing to 3D model objects. The data structure comprises an object tree hierarchy, one or more visual 2D objects, and one or more 3D reference or scene objects pointing to 3D model objects. The visual 2D objects define operations drawing a 2D image. The 3D reference or scene objects define references pointing to objects with operations that together draw a two-dimensional view of a three-dimensional scene made up of one or more 3D models. The 3D reference or scene objects point to 3D model objects and a camera object. The camera object defines a two-dimensional view of the 3D scene. The 3D model objects draw the 3D models and define mesh information used in drawing contours of a model and material information used in drawing surface texture of a model. The material information for the surface texture of a model may be defined by a visual 2D object, a 3D reference or scene object or a tree hierarchy of visual 2D objects and/or 3D reference scene objects.

摘要： An application program interface may be used to construct a three-dimensional (3D) scene of 3D models defined by model 3D objects. The interface has one or more group objects and one or more leaf objects. The group objects contain or collect other group objects and/or leaf objects. The leaf objects may be drawing objects or an illumination object. The group objects may have transform operations to transform objects collected in their group. The drawing objects define instructions to draw 3D models of the 3D scene or instructions to draw 2D images on the 3D models. The illumination object defines the light type and direction illuminating the 3D models in the 3D scene. A method processes a tree hierarchy of computer program objects constructed with objects of the application program interface. The method traverses branches of a 3D scene tree hierarchy of objects to process group objects and leaf objects. The method detects whether the next unprocessed object is a group object of a leaf object. If it is a leaf object, the method detects whether the leaf object is a light object or a drawing 3D object. If the leaf object is a light object, the illumination of the 3D scene is set. If a drawing 3D object is detected, a 3D model is drawn as illuminated by the illumination. The method may also performs a group operation on the group of objects collected by a group object.

摘要： A media integration layer including an application programming interface (API) and an object model allows program code developers to interface in a consistent manner with a scene graph data structure in order to output graphics. Via the interfaces, program code adds child visuals to other visuals to build up a hierarchical scene graph, writes Instruction Lists such as geometry data, image data, animation data and other data for output, and may specify transform, clipping and opacity properties on visuals. The media integration layer and API enable programmers to accomplish composition effects within their applications in a straightforward manner, while leveraging the graphics processing unit in a manner that does not adversely impact normal application performance. A multiple-level system includes the ability to combine different media types (such as 2D, 3D, Video, Audio, text and imaging) and animate them smoothly and seamlessly.

摘要： In aspects, a class hierarchy is defined that provides definitions of methods for operating on at least bitmaps and vector graphics. A software developer may instantiate an object according to a class definition of the class hierarchy and assign it to any variable (e.g., a control's property) having a type of an ancestor class of the class. The object may be associated with an image internally represented as bitmap, vector graphics, or some other representation. The control does not need to be aware of how the image is represented. Rather, to draw an image associated with the object, a draw method associated with the object may be called.

摘要： A computing system translates two-dimensional (2D) graphical input by a user who is selecting one or more 2D images in a three-dimensional (3D) scene of 3D models created by model 3D objects. The computing system comprises a viewport module, a retrieve module, set ray module and, a hit detection module. The viewport module defines 2D boundaries of the 3D scene and a view point location in 3D space for viewing the 3D scene. The retrieve module retrievies a selection point location in 2D space for the 2D graphical input. The set ray module sets a pick ray in 3D space based on the view point location and the selection point location. The hit detection module detects a hit by the pick ray on a 3D model in the 3D scene. In this computing system there is a method of processing a hierarchy of computer program visual objects for detecting a hit by 2D input on 2D and 3D images displayed by a computing system. The method begins by traversing branches of a first tree hierarchy of visual objects to leaf objects. Next the method detects whether the next unprocessed leaf object is a visual 2D object with 2D geometry or a model 3D object with 3D geometry. Lastly the method calls a 2D process to detect a hit on the 2D geometry of a visual object if a visual 2D object is detected and calls the 3D process to detect a hit on the 3D geometry of a visual object if a model 3D object is detected.

摘要： An intelligent caching data structure and mechanisms for storing visual information via objects and data representing graphics information. The data structure is generally associated with mechanisms that intelligently control how the visual information therein is populated and used. The cache data structure can be traversed for direct rendering, or traversed for pre-processing the visual information into an instruction stream for another entity. Much of the data typically has no external reference to it, thereby enabling more of the information stored in the data structure to be processed to conserve resources. A transaction/batching-like model for updating the data structure enables external modifications to the data structure without interrupting reading from the data structure, and such that changes received are atomically implemented. A method and mechanism are provided to call back to an application program in order to create or re-create portions of the data structure as needed, to conserve resources.

摘要： A parameterized scene graph provides mutable (animated) values and parameterized graph containers such that an application program or the like can selectively change certain aspects of the scene graph description while leaving other aspects intact, and also reuse portions of the scene graph with different parameters. To this end, mutable values are provided, which provide the higher level code with hooks into the scene graph enabling the scene description to be changed. The mutable values may be varied over time to provide animation. A parameterized graph container is also described that enables a scene graph portion to be templatized for reuse throughout a scene in a generic way. In this manner, a single parameterized graph container may be efficiently reused in a scene graph, with different values for its parameters.

摘要： Compositions and methods of increasing the bioavailability of catechins are presented. Compositions for increasing the bioavailability of catechins include compositions where the catechin is added to a solution of ethanol and water; compositions where the catechin is encapsulated within a nanoparticle; and compositions in which a nanoparticle complex is formed between the catechin and the nanoparticle. Each of these compositions was shown to increase bioavailability of EGCG and is useful in treating diseases such as Alzheimer's and HIV-associated dementia.
