摘要： Based on a driver programmable stencil reference value command, stencil reference value logic produces a plurality of stencil reference values for a corresponding plurality of pixels or pixel samples. At least one of the plurality of stencil reference values has a different value than at least one other of the plurality of stencil reference values. The driver programmable stencil reference value command may include a reference to instruction data or instruction data itself such that the graphics processing logic produces the plurality of stencil reference values based on the instruction data. Stencil logic performs a stencil test on the produced plurality of stencil reference values with respect to or without reference to a previously produced plurality of stencil values. Stencil logic performs stencil operations based on the result of the stencil test.

摘要： Embodiments of a system and method including graphics processing of a pixel sample are described. According to an embodiment, a first depth test processes a value, such as a z/stencil value, of a pixel sample and determines whether the value of the pixel sample satisfies the first depth test. If the value of the pixel sample satisfies the first depth test, the value of the pixel sample is not immediately written to storage, such as a Z-buffer. That is, if the value of the pixel sample satisfies the first depth test, the depth processing logic prevents or delays a write operation for the value of the pixel sample to storage at that time. A second depth test is performed on the value of the pixel sample if the value of the pixel sample satisfied the first depth test. If the value of the pixel sample satisfies the second depth test, the value of the pixel sample is then written to storage.

摘要： A skimmer door assembly for use with a skimmer having an opening therein, having a face plate for matingly engaging the skimmer around the opening of the skimmer. The face plate has an opening therein which communicates with the opening of the skimmer. A raised rib portion extends around a periphery of the opening of the face plate. A cover has a first, planar wall which closes the opening of the face plate. The cover has a groove formed on the planar wall which engages the rib of the face plate for sealing the face plate to prevent water from entering the opening of the face plate.

摘要： A MEMS based thermoacoustic cryo-cooler for thermal management of cryogenic electronic devices. The cryogenic cooling system can be integrated directly into a cryogenic electronic device. A vertical comb-drive provides an acoustic source through a driving plate to a resonant tube. By exciting a standing wave within the resonant tube, a temperature difference develops across a stack in the tube, thereby enabling heat exchange between heat exchangers. A tapered resonant tube improves the efficiency of the cooling system, compared with a simple cylinder configuration, leading to reduced harmonics and strong standing waves.
