| 20110216077 | GRAPHICS PROCESSING ARCHITECTURE EMPLOYING A UNIFIED SHADER - A graphics processing architecture employing a single shader is disclosed. The architecture includes a circuit operative to select one of a plurality of inputs in response to a control signal; and a shader, coupled to the arbiter, operative to process the selected one of the plurality of inputs, the shader including means for performing vertex operations and pixel operations, and wherein the shader performs one of the vertex operations or pixel operations based on the selected one of the plurality of inputs. The shader includes a register block which is used to store the plurality of selected inputs, a sequencer which maintains vertex manipulation and pixel manipulations instructions and a processor capable of executing both floating point arithmetic and logical operations on the selected inputs in response to the instructions maintained in the sequencer. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20100156915 | Multi-Thread Graphics Processing System - A graphics processing system comprises at least one memory device storing a plurality of pixel command threads and a plurality of vertex command threads. An arbiter coupled to the at least one memory device is provided that selects a command thread from either the plurality of pixel or vertex command threads based on relative priorities of the plurality of pixel command threads and the plurality of vertex command threads. The selected command thread is provided to a command processing engine capable of processing pixel command threads and vertex command threads. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20090287814 | VISUALIZATION OF STREAMING REAL-TIME DATA - A system facilitates dynamic data visualizations. The system includes an analysis component that periodically processes one or more incoming data streams to determine a visualization form from a plurality of visualization forms. A visualization component dynamically generates the visualization form based in part on the processing of the incoming data streams. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090326921 | GRAMMAR CHECKER FOR VISUALIZATION - A visualization development system is provided. The system includes a visualization tool to develop one or more visualizations and a grammar engine that operates with the visualization tool to automatically detect visualization problems during the development of the visualizations. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090327883 | DYNAMICALLY ADAPTING VISUALIZATIONS - An adaptive visualization system is provided. The system includes a processing component that receives visualization configurations to determine a suitable visualization for a user. A visualization component automatically adapts a visualization output based in part on the visualization configurations. The visualization configurations can include user context inputs, user profile inputs, device characteristic inputs, or background data inputs, for example. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090327921 | ANIMATION TO VISUALIZE CHANGES AND INTERRELATIONSHIPS - Modifications to a collection of data are maintained in chronological order and selectively rendered as a function of time. The selective rendering can include an animated version of the modification, which can include a timeline of events. The modifications can be associated with related data that includes information as to who made the modification, when the modification was made, and so forth. The related data can also include a motivation behind the modification. Further, confidence information can be related to the modification to add further detail to the modifications and events surrounding the collection of data. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090278848 | DRAWING FAMILIAR GRAPHS WHILE SYSTEM DETERMINES SUITABLE FORM - A graphical user interface system is provided. The system includes a graphical component to enable sketching of a diagram and a logical component to associate one or more data sources with the diagram. A visualization component adjusts the diagram in accordance with the one or more data sources. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090322782 | DASHBOARD CONTROLS TO MANIPULATE VISUAL DATA - A system (and corresponding methodology) by which a user can interact directly with visual data is provided. The system employs associations and relationships between visual data objects to automatically update objects based upon a change in other objects. The innovation also provides specialized controls (e.g., dashboard tools/controls) that facilitate manipulation of visual data. As there can be numerous manners in which a user can interact with visualization data, the innovation enables a specialized set of controls to be identified and provided to a user thereby reducing overwhelming effects of a large number of controls. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100199181 | WIZARD FOR SELECTING VISUALIZATION - A visualization design system is provided. The system includes a metadata component to describe characteristics of data. An analyzer determines attributes of a peer group, where the attributes are related to prior visualization design experiences of the group. A wizard component determines a subset of potential visualization types based in part on the characteristics of data and the attributes of the peer group. | 08-05-2010 |
