Title: Intersection testing in a ray tracing system
Inventor: PETER SMITH-LACEY
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2021-03-23
Abstract: There is provided a method and an intersection testing module in a ray tracing system for performing intersection testing for a ray with respect to a plurality of convex polygons. Each of the convex polygons is defined by an ordered set of vertices. At least one of the vertices is a shared vertex which is used to define two or more of the convex polygons. The vertices of the convex polygons are projected onto a pair of axes orthogonal to the ray direction, wherein the origin of the pair of axes corresponds with the ray origin. For each of the convex polygons, for each edge of the convex polygon defined by two of the projected vertices, a signed parameter is determined, wherein the sign of the signed parameter is indicative of which side of the edge the ray passes on. The position of a first of the projected vertices vi defining the edge is defined with coordinates pi and qi along the respective axes of the pair of axes, and a position of a second of the projected vertices vj defining the edge is defined with coordinates pj and vj along the respective axes of the pair of axes. If the ray is determined to intersect a point on the edge then the sign of the signed parameter is determined using a module which is configured to: take as inputs, indications which classify each of the pi, qi, pj and qj coordinates as negative, zero or positive, and output, for valid combinations of classifications of the pi, qi, pj and qj coordinates, an indication of the sign of the signed parameter. It is then determined whether the ray intersects the convex polygon based on the signs of the signed parameters determined for the edges of the convex polygon.

Title: Method and apparatus for communication via inductive coupling
Inventor: BENJAMIN JAMES FLETCHER
IPC: H04B5/00
Filed: 2021-03-24
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for communicating between dice of an inductively coupled 3D integrated circuit (3D-IC) 100. A transmit resonant circuit 132 at a transmit die 130 is inductively coupled to a first receive resonant circuit 142 at a first receive die 140, and to a second receive resonant circuit 122 at a second receive die 120. At any instant in time, either one of the first or second dice may be selected as the targeted die, depending on a communication protocol such as round-robin or time-division. The resonant circuit at the targeted receive die 140 is tuned to the frequency of resonance of the transmit resonant circuit, while the resonant circuit at the untargeted receive die 120 is detuned, resulting in lower power consumption for a given bit error rate at the targeted die. Tuning / de-tuning may be controlled using a variable capacitor (410, Fig. 4).

Title: Hanson-Haber aircraft engine for the production of stratospheric compounds and for the creation of atmospheric reflectivity and absorption...
Inventor: MATTHEW VERNON HANSON
IPC: F23R3/40
Filed: 2021-03-30
Abstract: Modifying existing commercial jet engine technology to leverage the temperature and pressure available in the combustion of kerosene A-1 jet fuel (or other fuels) to include the Haber process (or other industrial processes requiring high temperatures and high pressures) presents possibilities for the creation of ammonia and other down-stream compounds suitable for atmospheric seeding of reflective or absorptive compounds. Compounds such as ammonia and urea (or other compounds—as time goes on) provide alternatives to high-altitude (20 km) seeding of sulfur dioxide (which is destructive to atmosphere, vegetation, and ozone alike). Additionally, the changes required to existing engine technology analogous to adding a catalytic converter to the exhaust system of a car, provide, through the leveraging of the strong chemical bond of atmospheric nitrogen (N2), additional overall energy output to the engine system (through heat) and the production of a potentially combustible liquid or gas (ammonia and downstream ammonia compounds or other compounds) which may be used as a downstream fuel source by the engine itself.
