| 20120299914 | ACCELERATED SUBSURFACE SCATTERING DETERMINATION FOR RENDERING 3D OBJECTS - The present disclosure includes, among other things, systems, methods, and program products for estimating radiant exitance due to subsurface scattering. For example, one or more aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in one or more methods that include distributing a plurality of sample points across the surface of a 3D object model to be rendered into a 2D image and determining a solid angle subtended by a first sample point and a second sample point relative to a region on the 3D object model. Depending on the determined solid angle relative to a threshold value, a previously determined subsurface scattering contribution for the region or a newly determined subsurface scattering contribution for the region may selectively be used for rendering a portion of the 2D image. | 11-29-2012 |

| 20100008902 | P450RAI-2 (P450 CYTOCHROME 26B), ENCODING NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES AND METHODS AND USES THEREOF - The present invention provides a novel all-trans-RA inducible all-trans-RA metabolizing cytochrome P450, P450RAI-2, that is predominantly expressed in the brain, cerebellum in particular. It is also expressed in normal and tumour lung tissue and in breast cancer cells and may have a correlation with lung and breast cancer. Human P450RAI-2 show 42% amino acid identity to human P450RAI-1 and when transfected into COS-1 cells causes the rapid conversion of all-trans-RA into more polar metabolites including the inactive products 4-oxo-RA, 4-OH-RA and 18-OH-RA. P450RAI-2, as with P450RAI-1, is also inducible in certain cultured cell lines exposed to all-trans-RA. Methods for and uses of the new polynucleotide, polypeptide, fragments thereof and inhibitors thereof, include the treatment of dermatological disorders, cancer and certain brain disorders. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20110270671 | Predicting number of selections of advertisement using hierarchical Bayesian model - A predetermined distribution type of a number of selections of an advertisement within a predetermined time period for a predetermined phrase and having a predetermined advertisement location is specified. A parameterization of a mean of the predetermined distribution type is also specified. The mean is determined using a hierarchical Bayesian model, based on the predetermined distribution type, the parameterization, and historical data regarding a number of actual selections of the advertisement for each of a number of phrases similar to the predetermined phrase. The mean corresponds to an average number of selections of the advertisement within the predetermined time period for the predetermined phrase and having the predetermined advertisement location, as predicted by the model. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110283283 | DETERMINING MULTIPROGRAMMING LEVELS - A method of managing the execution of a workload of transactions of different transaction types on a computer system. Each transaction type may have a different resource requirement. The method may include intermittently, during execution of the workload, determining the performance of each transaction type. A determination may be made of whether if there is an overloaded transaction type in which performance is degraded with an increase in the number of transactions of the transaction type. If there is an overloaded transaction type, the number of transactions of at least one transaction type may be changed. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110283294 | DETERMINING MULTI-PROGRAMMING LEVEL USING DIMINISHING-INTERVAL SEARCH - A method of determining a multiprogramming level (MPL) for a first computer subsystem may be implemented on a second computer subsystem. The method may include selecting an initial MPL interval having endpoints that bound a local extremum of a computer-system operation variable that is a unimodal function of the MPL. For each interval having a length more than a threshold, operation-variable values for two intermediate MPLs in the interval may be determined. The interval may be diminished by the section of the interval between the one of the intermediate MPLs having an operation-variable value further from the extremum, and the interval endpoint adjacent to the one intermediate MPL. The operating MPL may be set equal to the other intermediate MPL when the interval has a length that is not more than the threshold. | 11-17-2011 |
