    摘要: A method for depth complexity reduction includes inserting checkpoints between depth sorted object sections in a stream of geometric primitives. In response to receiving a checkpoint while rasterizing primitives for an image region, coverage data stored for the image region is checked to determine whether each pixel in the image region is fully covered. If so, then additional primitives for the image region can be ignored to avoid rendering occluded geometry.

    摘要: Techniques and tools for rendering procedural graphics are described. For example, an architecture is provided which allows evaluation of geometric, transform, texture, and shading procedures locally for a given set of procedure parameter values. This evaluation is performed in parallel for different parameter values on a single-instruction, multiple-data array to allow parallel processing of a procedure set. In another example, a sampling controller is described which selects sets of parameter points for evaluation based on information in tag maps, rate maps, and parameter maps.

    摘要: A device for detecting the position of a human finger or other object on a touch-sensitive scrolling pad. Dual independent oscillators may be used to generate two pulse trains at frequencies dependent upon the capacitance of two conductors resulting from the position of the finger on the conductors. The pulses from each oscillator may be counted over a time interval. A ratio-metric measurement may be taken by calculating the ratio of the two counts, and a sum may also be calculated. The ratio of the two counts relates to finger position on the device, and their sum relates to finger pressure upon the device.

    摘要: A method for supporting image compression in a real-time graphics rendering pipeline includes sorting object geometry for a scene among image regions called chunks. The object geometry for each chunk is rendered separately, and in a serial fashion. After the object geometry is completely rendered for a given chunk, the pixel data for that chunk is compressed and stored. Each chunk of an image can be generated and stored in this manner. To assemble a display image, compressed image chunks are retrieved, decompressed, and temporarily cached. Decompressed image data in the cache is combined into a display image. The process of generating a display image with compression can be performed at real-time rates.

    摘要: Systems and methods directed at providing flow computing. An application configured with flow computing capabilities can determine possible results that are intended by a user based on one or more user-initiated actions. The application identifies idling computing resources in the computing device that are available and automatically performs other actions to produce the possible results using the idling computing resources. The application caches the results and provides at least one of the cached results in an interactive data stream. The user directs the data stream by selecting pre-generated choices to achieve the desired outcome.

    摘要: A transmission line phase shifter ideally suited for use in low-cost, steerable, phased array antennas suitable for use in wireless fidelity (WiFi) and other wireless telecommunication networks, in particular multi-hop ad hoc networks, is disclosed. The transmission line phase shifter includes a wire transmission line, such as a coaxial, stripline, microstrip, or coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line. A high-permittivity dielectric element that overlies the signal conductor of the wire transmission line is used to control phase shifting. Phase shifting can be electromechanically controlled by controlling the space between the high-permittivity dielectric element and the signal conductor of the wire transmission line or by electrically controlling the permittivity of the high-permittivity dielectric element.

    摘要: A layered graphics rendering pipeline measures image fidelity ("fiducials") to determine how accurately a transformed image layer approximates a rendering of a 3D object. The graphics rendering pipeline approximates the change in position or color of 3D object by transforming a rendering of the 3D object from a previous frame. The pipeline uses the fiducials to control rendering of factored scene elements to independent image layers. The pipeline then combines the layers to compute frames of animation. The types of fiducials include sampling, visibility, and photometric fiducials. The sampling fiducial measures the distortion of an image sample when warped to screen coordinates. The visibility fiducial measures the change in visibility of a scene element since a previous rendering of the scene element. The photometric fiducial measures either the change in lighting from the time of the previous rendering to the current time, or it measures the difference between warped color samples and actual color samples of the scene element for a current frame.

    摘要: A liquid crystal display (LCD) is provided that comprises a rearward LCD substrate sheet that has an array of vias formed, where the vias provide electrical conduction between both sides of the rearward LCD substrate sheet. The number of vias in the array is substantially equal to or at least equivalent to a combination of a number of column drive lines and a number of row drive lines. The respective drive lines are connected to a corresponding via, such as on one side of the rearward LCD substrate sheet, and respective patterned conductors are connected to a corresponding via, such as on the other side of the rearward LCD substrate sheet. The patterned conductors provide a connection between respective drive lines and one or more corresponding drivers. In one example, this allows a “full bleed” display to be generated.
