20100001999Hybrid Multisample/Supersample Antialiasing - A system and method for dynamically adjusting the pixel sampling rate during primitive shading can improve image quality or increase shading performance. Hybrid antialiasing is performed by selecting a number of shaded samples per pixel fragment. A combination of supersample and multisample antialiasing is used where a cluster of sub-pixel samples (multisamples) is processed for each pass through a fragment shader pipeline. The number of shader passes and multisamples in each cluster can be determined dynamically for each primitive based on rendering state.01-07-2010

20110087840EFFICIENT LINE AND PAGE ORGANIZATION FOR COMPRESSION STATUS BIT CACHING - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing a memory access request to compressed data within a virtually mapped memory system comprising an arbitrary number of partitions. A virtual address is mapped to a linear physical address, specified by a page table entry (PTE). The PTE is configured to store compression attributes, which are used to locate compression status for a corresponding physical memory page within a compression status bit cache. The compression status bit cache operates in conjunction with a compression status bit backing store. If compression status is available from the compression status bit cache, then the memory access request proceeds using the compression status. If the compression status bit cache misses, then the miss triggers a fill operation from the backing store. After the fill completes, memory access proceeds using the newly filled compression status information.04-14-2011

20090007170System and method for monitoring a real time event - An apparatus includes a trigger module and a tuning module. The trigger module presents a notification on a display device in connection with an occurrence of a predetermined condition in a real time event, such that the notification is added to a decoded video signal representing a video presentation other than the real time event before the decoded video signal is output to the display device. The tuning module displays the real time event when the notification is selected. A method for presenting a notification for an occurrence of a predetermined condition in a real time event and for displaying the real time event is also disclosed.01-01-2009

20100051552IN-LINE SENSORS FOR DIALYSIS APPLICATIONS - A system for monitoring water quality for dialysis, dialysis fluids, and body fluids treated by dialysis fluids, is disclosed. The system uses microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors for detecting impurities in input water or dialysis fluid, and in the prepared dialysate. These sensors may also be used to monitor and check the blood of the patient being treated. These sensors include ion-selective sensors, for ions such as ammonium or calcium, and also include amperometric array sensors, suitable for ions from chlorine or chloramines, e.g., chloride. These sensors assist in the monitoring of water supplies from a city water main or well. The sensors may be used in conjunction with systems for preparing dialysate solutions from water for use at home or elsewhere.03-04-2010

20100044697BRIGHT VISIBLE WAVELENGTH LUMINESCENT NANOSTRUCTURES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND DEVICES FOR USING THE SAME - Luminescent nanostructures (e.g., nanowires) and devices are provided which are capable of emitting bright visible light. The luminescent nanowires are most preferably in the form of a doped ZnO having a spectrally integrated ratio of visible to UV light of at least about 1000 or greater. The dopant for the ZnO luminescent nanowires may be at least one of sulfur, selenium, oxygen, zinc, magnesium, aluminum, with sulfur being especially preferred. The doped ZnO luminescent nanowires may be provided in devices for emitting visible light whereby visible light is emitted by the doped ZnO luminescent nanowires in response to excitation by UV light provided by a UV light source. The device may preferably comprise a transparent or translucent lens covering the UV light source, wherein the doped ZnO luminescent nanowires are present as a coating on a surface of the lens. In some embodiments, the device will comprise multiple UV light sources. Devices of the present invention may be provided with a flat panel lens which is positioned adjacent the multiple UV light sources and has a coating of the doped ZnO luminescent nanowires thereon. 02-25-2010

20090271691LINKING DIGITAL AND PAPER DOCUMENTS - Various embodiments facilitate linking physical documents to digital documents. Links link physical documents to digital documents. Using a sensor, the physical documents are automatically detected and identified on a digital workspace. A computer is capable of displaying graphics, and user interaction with displayed graphics can be detected. The digital workspace displays a GUI component having one or more controls, and the GUI component is displayed at a location relative to a physical document on the digital workspace. User interaction with the control is detected and either a link between the physical document and one of the digital documents is edited, or an existing link between the physical document and a digital document is used to perform an operation on the digital document. Alternatively or additionally, links may be automatically generated digital documents determined to be implicitly related to the physical document.10-29-2009
