20100191792 | Signal Processing with Fast S-Transforms - The ability to examine the frequency content of a signal is critical in a variety of fields, and many techniques have been proposed to fill this need, including the Fourier and wavelet family of transforms. One of these, the S-transform, is a Fourier based transform that provides simultaneous time and frequency information similar to the wavelet transform but uses sinusoidal basis functions to produce true frequency and globally referenced phase measurements. It has been shown to be useful in several medical imaging applications but its use is limited due to high computational requirements of the original, continuous form. The described embodiments include a general framework for describing linear time-frequency transforms, using the Fourier, wavelet and S-transforms as examples. As an illustration of the utility of this formalism, a fast discrete S-transform algorithm is developed that has the same computational complexity as the fast Fourier transform. | 07-29-2010 |

20100164983 | LEVERAGING GRAPHICS PROCESSORS TO OPTIMIZE RENDERING 2-D OBJECTS - Methods and computer-readable media for displaying two-dimensional objects on a display device are disclosed. Rendering requests are received from an application to render two-dimensionally modeled graphics to a display device. Primitive geometries of drawing calls of the rendering requests are tessellated into sequences of triangles. The vertices of the triangles are mapped to a vertex buffer along with an index to identify associated constant data. Batching operations store and communicate calls and mapped data to a graphics processing unit by way of a three-dimensional rendering application program interface. Constant data associated with the mapped data are indexed and appended together in a constant buffer, thereby allowing drawing calls to be coalesced. A staging buffer and a staging texture are provided for batching text anti-aliasing operations. Shader fragments are precompiled and organized by way of a predetermined lookup table. | 07-01-2010 |

20090199288 | DISTRIBUTED AUTHENTICATION IN A PROTOCOL-BASED SPHERE OF TRUST IN WHICH A GIVEN EXTERNAL CONNECTION OUTSIDE THE SPHERE OF TRUST MAY CARRY COMMUNICATIONS FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES - A distributed authentication model that operates within a protocol-based sphere of trust. Rather than being able to communicate with any one of the computing systems internal to the sphere of trust, the amount of authentication is reduced by having the external computing systems initially communicate with a specific edge internal computing system. Many if not all of the internal computing systems then delegate the task of authentication to the edge computing system, and will rely on any authentication performed by the edge computing system. This allows the task of authentication to scale well for large protocol-based spheres of trust. | 08-06-2009 |
20090282149 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISTRIBUTING LOAD BY REDIRECTING TRAFFIC - Disclosed is a system for servers to redirect client requests to other servers in order to distribute client traffic among the servers. A client is assigned to a server although the client may be unaware of that assignment. When the client accesses a server, a server possibly identified to the client by a name service, the server checks the client's assignment. If the client is not assigned to this server, then in some scenarios this server redirects the client to its assigned server. The client responds by sending its request to the assigned server. In other scenarios, the first server accessed by the client proxies the client's traffic to the assigned server. A database is kept of client-to-server assignments. If the present load distribution is less than ideal (e.g., clients are assigned to an unavailable server), then the assignment database is updated to reflect how the load should be distributed. | 11-12-2009 |
