20140198838 | TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING VIDEO STREAMING - An apparatus may include a memory to store a video frame, a processor circuit and a selective encoding component for execution on the processor to perform selective encoding of the video frame, the selective encoding to classify the video frame into a primary object region and a background region, and encode the primary object region at a first quality level and the background region at a background quality level, the first quality level to comprise a higher quality level than the background quality level. | 07-17-2014 |
20150091890 | RENDERING TECHNIQUES FOR TEXTURED DISPLAYS - Rendering techniques are disclosed for displays capable of adjusting/changing the angle of individual pixels (or pixel groups), referred to herein as textured displays. The textured displays may be capable of creating on demand textures which may be used to simulate the surface of an object in a scene. The rendering techniques may be used to improve upon the realism of rendered scenes/objects and they may provide users with a unique rendering experience whereby the textured display physically changes to mimic textures of the rendered scenes/objects. This can be achieved by sending geometric data, such as surface normal information, to individual pixels of the textured display. Other factors may be considered when adjusting the angle of individual pixels of the textured display, such as whether the user is experiencing too much glare. | 04-02-2015 |
20150179150 | MONITOR RESOLUTION AND REFRESHING BASED ON VIEWER DISTANCE - Techniques are disclosed for improving energy efficiency of displays, and in particular, displays capable of selective refresh. In an embodiment, the techniques include adjusting the effective resolution of a display based on the viewer's distance from the display. The effective resolution adjustment can be accomplished by, for example, grouping individual pixels or blurring the display buffer (or both pixel grouping and blurring) based on the viewer's distance from the display. Such an adjustment has the effect of creating enlarged pixels from a plurality of smaller pixels. In any such cases, each of the enlarged pixels (also called macro-pixels) can then be selectively refreshed based on changes from the previous frame. In addition, even if one of the macro-pixels has changed from the last frame, it also need not be refreshed if the viewer would not perceive that change given a subtle or otherwise unperceivable difference in intensity. | 06-25-2015 |
20150187388 | INTELLIGENT RECORDING IN ELECTRONIC DEVICES - In one example a controller comprises logic, at least partially including hardware logic, configured to receive a signal from a remote device, and in response to the signal, modify at least one aspect of a recording signal received from a recording device.

20150234251 | DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING MEMS DEVICES - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques and configurations for a display apparatus. In one embodiment, the apparatus may include one or more micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices. The MEMS device may include a first electrode including a partially reflective surface, a second electrode including a partially or completely reflective surface and disposed substantially parallel to the first electrode, and an analog actuation arrangement coupled to the first electrode, the second electrode or both the first and second electrodes to cause movement of the first electrode from a start position to a selected position of a plurality of end positions, responsive to a selected application of an actuation voltage, to cause the MEMS device to selectively output a reflection of a light in a selected wavelength, or no reflection of the light. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed. | 08-20-2015 |
20150279321 | DIRECT VIEWER PROJECTION - Techniques are disclosed for direct viewer projection, which involves having each pixel's emitted light aimed at or otherwise provided directly to the target pupil of a viewing person. In one embodiment, the techniques are implemented using steerable, collimated light sources fashioned into an array to effectively provide a display screen. Each steerable, collimated light source of the array corresponds to one pixel of a given image at a given viewing location, such that no one light source shows a whole image; rather, the whole array is used to display an image. The array can be scanned to provide different images to different viewing locations. The content projected to the different locations may be related (e.g., a movie) or unrelated (e.g., two different movies). A specific viewer can be identified and tracked such that the content is only projected to the target viewer's eyes and no one else's. | 10-01-2015 |
20150338914 | GAZE-ASSISTED TOUCHSCREEN INPUTS - Embodiments related to gaze-assisted touchscreen inputs are disclosed. In some embodiments, a computing system may receive a gaze location signal indicative of a region of a user's gaze on a touchscreen, receive a touch signal indicative of a touch of the user on the touchscreen, and generate an input signal for the computing system based at least in part on the gaze location signal and the touch signal. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed. | 11-26-2015 |

20150363197 | Systems And Methods For Software Analytics - Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for locating design patterns in software. An example method includes accessing a database having multiple artifacts corresponding to multiple software, and identifying a design pattern for at least one of the software files by automatically analyzing at least one of the artifacts associated with the software. Additional embodiments also provide for storing an identifier for the design pattern for the software in the database. For certain example embodiments, the artifacts include developmental, which may be searched for a string that denotes a design pattern, such as flaw, feature, or repair. Additional example embodiments also include finding in the software file a program fragment that implements the design pattern. | 12-17-2015 |
20150363294 | Systems And Methods For Software Analysis - Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for identifying software files, flaws in code, and program fragments by obtaining a software file, determining a plurality of artifacts, accessing a database which stores a plurality of reference artifacts for reference software files, comparing at least one of the artifacts to at least one of the reference artifacts stored in the database, and identifying the software file by identifying the reference software file having the reference artifacts that correspond to the plurality of artifacts. Certain embodiments can also automatically provide updated versions of files, patches to be applied, or repaired blocks of code to replace flawed blocks. Example embodiments can accept a wide variety of file types, including source code and binary files and can analyze source code or convert files to an intermediate representation (IR) and analyze the IR. | 12-17-2015 |

20080265557 | Evacuation Sled and Temporary Surge Capacity Bed - A lightweight, strong, sturdy, and versatile evacuation sled is disclosed. The body of the sled may be manufactured from a single piece of material, stored flat, and folded into its functioning configuration. When folded, the sled has one or more straps that help hold it in its folded configuration and allow maneuvering or carrying the sled. The sled may be readily towed with a towing harness and may be moved down an incline, such as stairs, by means of a rope and belay device. The sled has a low coefficient of friction and is lightweight, allowing the sled to be readily moved and handled without requiring the assistance of multiple people. Additional sleds with foam inserts may be provided to carry equipment such as for life support. The sled may also provide surge capacity for facilities like hospitals, as the sled is designed to be inexpensive and essentially disposable. | 10-30-2008 |
