Title: Communication protocol for synchronizing animation systems
Inventor: CALKINS MATT
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 2004-07-22
Abstract: A communications protocol is described that governs asynchronous exchange of data between a high level animation system and a low level animation system.  The high level animation system has a variable, medium-frequency frame rate and is optimized for interactivity. The low level animation system has a constant, high frequency frame rate and is optimized for high refresh frame rate. The communications protocol includes messages that can be sent by the high-level animation system to the low-level animation system to designate an animation and how the animation is to change over a specified period of time.  As a result, the low-level system can display the animation at the high refresh rate even if animation data is not received from the high-level system for every frame.

Abstract: An electric power generation system has a multiple jet ejector assembly for recirculating an exhaust stream. The system includes a fuel cell stack having a reactant stream inlet, a reactant stream outlet and at least one fuel cell.  A pressurized reactant supply provides a reactant to the multiple jet ejector assembly. The multiple jet ejector assembly includes two motive flow inlets, one suction inlet, fluidly connected to the reactant stream outlet to receive a recirculated flow from the fuel cell stack, and one discharge outlet, fluidly connected to the reactant stream inlet to provide an inlet stream to the fuel cell stack. A pressure regulator is interposed between the pressurized reactant supply and the two motive flow inlets of the multiple jet ejector assembly. A first solenoid valve is interposed between the first motive flow inlet and the regulator. A second solenoid valve is interposed between the second motive flow inlet and the regulator. A by-pass line connects the pressurized reactant supply to the second motive flow inlet. A by-pass solenoid valve is interposed in the bypass line between the pressurized reactant supply and the second motive flow inlet. During low-load operating conditions, the second solenoid valve is open and the first and by-pass solenoid valves are closed, so that pressurized reactant, controlled by the regulator, is directed to the second motive flow inlet. During high-load operating conditions, the second solenoid valve is closed and the first and by-pass solenoid valves are open, so that pressurized reactant, controlled by the regulator, is directed to the first motive flow inlet and pressurized reactant, not controlled by the regulator, is directed to the second motive flow inlet.

Title: Dynamic crop box determination for optimized display of a tube-like structure in endoscopic view ("crop box")
Inventor: GUAN YANG
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2004-11-03
Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically determining a crop box to optimize the display of a subset of a 3D data set, such as, for example, an endoscopic view of a tube-like structure, are presented. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a "ray shooting" technique can be used to dynamically determine the size and location of a crop box. In such embodiments, shot rays are distributed evenly into a given volume and their intersection with the inner lumen determines the crop box boundaries. In alternate exemplary embodiments, rays need not be shot into fixed directions, but rather may be shot using a random offset which changes form frame to frame in order to more thoroughly cover a display area. In other exemplary embodiments, in order to get even better results, more rays can be shot at areas of possible error, such as, for example, where the centerline of a tube-like structure is leading to. In such embodiemnts rays need not be distributed evenly, but can be varied in space and time, i.e. In each frame the program can, for example, shoot out a different number of rays, in different directions, and the distribution of those rays could be in different pattern. Because, in exemplary embodiemnts, a dynamically optimized crop box encloses only the portion of the 3D data set which is actually displayed, processing cycles and memory usage are minimized.
