20130176212 | REPOSITIONING GESTURES FOR CHROMELESS REGIONS - In graphical computing environments, applications are often presented as windows and other regions with visual controls that enable standardized region management functions, including repositioning the regions. However, in some scenarios (particularly devices with small displays), such user interface “chrome” may undesirable diminish the size of the region devoted to the output of the application, and removing such visual controls without eliminating repositioning functionality may be advantageous. Presented herein are repositioning gestures that may be invoked to request repositioning of a selected region by “hovering” a pointer near an edge of the display that is near the selected region; optionally by activating the pointer; and by moving the pointer away from the edge of the display (e.g., “dragging” the pointer while depressing a mouse button). This gesture may easily and unambiguously invoke a region repositioning mode for the selected region, despite the absence of visual repositioning controls confluent with the region. | 2013-07-11 |

20130176310 | IMAGE SYNTHESIS DEVICE - An image processing device, including an analyzer calculating cutting data and difference data from image data, a selector receiving data from a working node, the data including cutting data, cost data, and position data, an assembler receiving data from working nodes and from a predecessor node and calculating updated node data as a function of the cost data, a driver configured to call the analyzer with image data of an input image, call the selector with an input node and with the cutting data calculated by the analyzer, call the assembler with the successor nodes determined by the selector as working nodes and with the input node as a predecessor node, and repeatedly call the selector and the assembler using one of the updated nodes as a working node for the selector, until a condition relating to the cutting data and the position data of an updated node is satisfied. | 2013-07-11 |
20130176311 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AN OUTER LAYER REPRESENTATION OF AN OBJECT - A system and method for generating a representation of an outer layer of a three-dimensional object is disclosed. The object is represented by a plurality of two-dimensional triangles. The method comprises receiving the plurality of two-dimensional triangles representing the object and determining a three-dimensional bounding box comprised of a plurality of voxels that encapsulates the object. The method also includes determining an intersecting set of voxels of the plurality of voxels. A member of the intersecting set of voxels intersects with at least one triangle of the plurality of triangles. The method also includes determining an outer set of voxels from the intersecting set of voxels, wherein a member of the outer set of voxels shares a face with a voxel that is not a member of the intersecting set of voxels. The method further includes determining an outer layer set of triangles from the plurality of triangles. | 2013-07-11 |
