20130115871 | Snow Proof Roof Vent - There is disclosed a snow proof roof vent for ventilating the roof of a building to the atmosphere. The improved roof vent includes a flange portion dimensioned and configured to lay against the roof, the flange portion having a central opening to let air vent from the attic. The roof vent further includes a collar portion extending from the flange portion and enclosing the central opening and a cap dimensioned and configured to cover over the collar portion and cover over the central opening. The cap is dimensioned and configured to provide a passage through which air can pass between the atmosphere and the central opening. The collar portion also includes a filter plate enclosed by the cap and interposed between the central opening and the passage, the filter plate having a pore size sufficient to permit air to pass through but block the passage of snow. | 05-09-2013 |

20100045672 | Computerized Image Rendering With Per-Frame Buffer Scene Segmentation - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for image rendering with per-frame buffer scene segmentation. A user specifies how geometric objects, light sources, and various types of rendering operations in a graphics scene are associated. A segmentation API translates scene data into specific instructions used by a rendering engine that cause the rendering engine to generate a set of scene segments within a set of user specified frame buffers. The scene segments may be composited together using a variable contribution value for each scene segment to generate a final image. | 02-25-2010 |
20100103171 | Material Data Processing Pipeline - A method for generating a shader that is used by a rendering engine to render a visual representation of a computer model. A shader generation engine receives a set of surface data that describes a surface in view of various lighting conditions. The shader generation engine compresses the set of surface data to generate a compressed representation of the set of surface data based on a selected compression algorithm. The shader generation engine generates a shader based on the compressed representation that is configured to be implemented with a rendering engine, and generates a set of shader data based on the compressed representation that includes a set of material characteristics for coloring pixels of the visual representation. Advantageously, the shader generation process is simplified because different compression algorithm-rendering engine shader combinations can be generated without manually programming the shaders. | 04-29-2010 |
20100207943 | MODULAR SHADER ARCHITECTURE AND METHOD FOR COMPUTERIZED IMAGE RENDERING - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique rendering an image pixel within a graphics image with multiple shaders in a single rendering phase using a modular shader architecture.

20110310773 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FAIL-SAFE CALL SURVIVAL - The present invention provides a system and method for fail-safe call survival by detecting failure of an active call serving component and switching the service over to a standby component. The system and method will prevent an existing call, whether established or to be established, from being dropped due to a single point of failure within a Voice over Internet Protocol system. The continuation of the call is based on the failed component as opposed to relying on communication endpoints to re-initiate or re-route the failed call. Call recovery is initiated independent from the call path of a call. The detection of a condition or need for call recovery and the determination to initiate call recovery procedures are made without involving endpoints or intermediate points of the call. The availability and sanity of all components are continuously monitored and are tailored specifically for the duties of each component. | 12-22-2011 |

20150216261 | SPORTING FOOTWEAR AND SYSTEM FOR ENHANCING FORCE TRANSFER - A sporting footwear and system for enhancing a force transfer is described. The footwear enhances the force transfer from a foot of the wearer of the footwear, to a playing surface on which the footwear is being used. The footwear has a shell which receives and encloses the foot. The shell has a heel portion, and opposite sole and upper portions. The footwear also has a force-transferring member. The member has a first surface which can be attached to the inside of the upper portion, and an opposed second surface which can abut against the top of the wearer's foot when it is inserted into the shell. When the member abuts against the top of the foot, it fills a void and enables an increased operative contact surface within the footwear. This allows for enhanced force transfer between the foot and the shell of the footwear, and ultimately, the playing surface. | 08-06-2015 |
