| 20090289949 | Dynamically Configurable Bilinear Filtering System - Apparatus and methods for a bilinear filter system comprising a pre-formatter module, a bilinear module, an accumulator module, and a format module. The pre-formatter module is configured to receive texel data and convert it to a normalized fixed point format. The bilinear module is dynamically reconfigurable to perform an interpolation or an extended precision interpolation on the normalized fixed point texel data from the pre-formatter module and generate re-normalized floating point texel data. The interpolator analyzes the exponent range of fixed point texel data from the pre-formatter module to determine if an extended precision calculation is appropriate. The accumulator module is configured to accumulate floating point texel data from the bilinear module to achieve the desired level of bilinear, trilinear, and anisotropic filtering. The format module is configured to convert texel data from the accumulator module into a standard floating point representation. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090295819 | Floating Point Texture Filtering Using Unsigned Linear Interpolators and Block Normalizations - Apparatus and systems utilizing fixed point filtering to perform floating point texture filtering. A texture pipe unit consisting of a texture addressing unit, texture cache unit, and texture filter unit accepts texture requests for a specified pixel from a resource and returns formatted bilinear filtered results based on the specific pixel's corresponding four texels. The texture filtering unit consists of a pre-formatter module, interpolator module, accumulator module and a format module. The pre-formatter module accepts texel data in a floating point or fixed point format. However, if the data is in a floating point format the pre-formatter module converts the floating point data into a normalized fixed point data format whereby the interpolator module may perform its bilinear interpolator functions using standardized fixed point systems and apparatus without necessitating the use of floating point arithmetic units. A method utilizing fixed point filtering to perform floating point texture filtering is also presented. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20090300293 | Dynamically Partitionable Cache - Methods and systems for dynamically partitioning a cache and maintaining cache coherency are provided. In an embodiment, a system for processing memory requests includes a cache and a cache controller configured to compare a memory address and a type of a received memory request to a memory address and a type, respectively, corresponding to a cache line of the cache to determine whether the memory request hits on the cache line. In another embodiment, a method for processing fetch memory requests includes receiving a memory request and determining if the memory request hits on a cache line of a cache by determining if a memory address and a type of the memory request match a memory address and a type, respectively, corresponding to a cache line of the cache. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20100208082 | MEDIA SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING SYNCHRONIZED MULTIPLE STREAMING CAMERA SIGNALS OF AN EVENT - A media system is provided having synchronized multiple camera signals of at least one event or activity for transmission over the internet to end users for selective display and/or manipulation. The media system may provide that end users are able to select and view and manipulate one or more of the multiple streaming video signals at will. The media system may be used in connection with a great variety of events or activities, including without limitation concerts, sports events, political events, sales events, movie premiers, public events, training events and religious events. A method is also provided having synchronized camera signals of at least one event or activity for transmission over the internet to end users for selective display and/or manipulation. The multiple camera signals are provided to end users for selective display and/or manipulation by end users. A media player is also provided for processing synchronized camera signals representing different views of at least one event or activity and providing end users of the media player the options of selectively displaying and/or manipulating at least one of the views at will. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20090198644 | LEARNING QUERY REWRITE POLICIES - A blended query rewrite provider takes as an input a search query and produces a list of query rewrite suggestions. The blended query rewrite provider generates suggestions by applying a number of individual query rewrite providers in series to a query. The sequence in which query rewrite providers are applied to a query is encoded in a query rewrite policy. Policies differ between query types. A policy application engine component selects which policy to apply to a given query based on the cluster to which a query belongs. The policy application engine uses a machine learning algorithm to assign a query to a cluster based on query features. The policy generation engine generates policies and trains the clustering algorithm used by the policy application engine offline based on training data sets and query logs. | 08-06-2009 |
