Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100283783Environment Mapping - A system and method for environment mapping determines a computer-generated object's reflective appearance, based upon position and orientation of a camera with respect to the object's location. An embodiment of the present invention is implemented as a real-time environment mapping for polygon rendering, however, the scope of the invention covers other rendering schemes. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a vector processing unit (VPU) uses a modified reflection formula—r=e−(e·(n+e11-11-2010

20090002380Graphics Processing Apparatus, Graphics Library Module And Graphics Processing Method - There is provided a graphics processing system that includes a main processing unit and a graphics processing unit (GPU). The main processing unit puts rendering commands generated using a graphics library in the queue of a command buffer in a main memory. In this process, the library function offered by the graphics library is converted into the rendering commands, without any rendering attributes retained in the library. The GPU reads and executes the rendering commands stacked in the command buffer, and generates rendering data in a frame buffer.01-01-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090004201Therapy-Enhancing Glucan - A therapeutic composition for treatment of cancer in a mammal is disclosed. The composition comprises an effective amount of a yeast beta-glucan composition which is suitable for oral administration and for absorption through the gastrointestinal tract of the mammal. The above therapeutic composition may further comprise antitumor antibodies or cancer vaccine composition, wherein the antitumor activities of the antitumor antibodies or the cancer vaccine composition are enhanced by the yeast glucan.01-01-2009
20090053221IMMUNE RESPONSE ENHANCING GLUCAN - This invention discloses a composition for enhancing the protective immunity in a subject, comprising an effective amount of a β-glucan and a vaccine, wherein the β-glucan enhances the immune response of the vaccine against cancer or infectious agents. The infectious agents can be viruses, fungi, bacteria or parasites. In one embodiment, the β-glucan is derived from yeast and comprises side chains attached to a β-(1,3) backbone. In another embodiment, the vaccine comprises an antibody and whole tumor cells. The invention also provides a method of enhancing protective immunity using said composition.02-26-2009
