20160083918 | DEPLOYABLE FLEXIBLE FLOOD MITIGATION WALL - A novel design and construction method for the creation of a deployable flexible flood mitigation wall manufactured from textile and membrane materials. The flexible flood mitigation wall system comprises a textile/membrane wall and support posts configured to be movable between a stowed position and a deployed position and wherein, in the deployed position, the wall forms a leak-free barrier against flood water or other fluids. A series of posts that are manually deployed is used to support the fabric wall when hydrostatically challenged, and transfer loads to the ground. The wall is stored at the point of use in a surface box or trench box and keeps the loading from the flood water off the building, structure or equipment being protected. The flexible flood mitigation wall can be configured for use in many applications including entire buildings, building entrances, transit system passages such as ventilation shafts or elevator shafts, windows, stairwells, and other openings that can be threatened by flooding. It can be continuous such that it surrounds structures such as buildings and power substations, homes, or segmented, such that it can be used to seal openings of all kinds including human or vehicle doorways. It can be tailored to fit any opening and water height. | 03-24-2016 |

20150269767 | CONFIGURING RESOURCES USED BY A GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT - A resource used by a shader executed by a graphics processing unit is referenced using a “descriptor”. Descriptors are grouped together in memory called a descriptor heap. Applications allocate and store descriptors in descriptor heaps. Applications also create one or more descriptor tables specifying a subrange of a descriptor heap. To bind resources to a shader, descriptors are first loaded into a descriptor heap. When the resources are to be used by a set of executing shaders, descriptor tables are defined on the GPU identifying ranges within the descriptor heap. Shaders, when executing, refer to the currently defined descriptor tables to access the resources made available to them. If the shader is to be executed again with different resources, and if those resources are already in memory and specified in the descriptor heap, then the descriptor tables are changed to specify different ranges of the descriptor heap. | 09-24-2015 |
20160071230 | CONFIGURING RESOURCES USED BY A GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT - The application programming interface permits an application to specify resources to be used by shaders, executed by the GPU, through a data structure called the “root arguments.” A root signature is a data structure in an application that defines the layout of the root arguments used by an application. The root arguments are a data structure resulting from the application populating locations in memory according to the root signature. The root arguments can include one or more constant values or other state information, and/or one or more pointers to memory locations which can contain descriptors, and/or one or more descriptor tables. Thus, the root arguments can support multiple levels of indirection through which a GPU can identify resources that are available for shaders to access. | 03-10-2016 |
