Title: Image rendering method and apparatus
Inventor: ANDREW JAMES BIGOS
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2021-03-24
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention seek to replace the ray tracing step usually associated with image rendering with something else that has a more predictable computational load for a suitable quality of final image. The invention relates to an image rendering method comprising the steps of selecting at least a first trained machine learning model from among a plurality of machine learning models, the machine learning model having been trained to generate data contributing to a render of at least a part of an image, wherein the at least first trained machine learning model has an architecture based learning capability that is responsive to at least a first aspect of a virtual environment for which it is trained to generate the data, and using the at least first trained machine learning model to generate data contributing to a render of at least a part of an image. An example embodiment consists of a machine learning system for each contributing component of the image (e.g. diffuse, specular, and optionally coat or any other contributing component). The machine learning system is typically a neural network that is trained to learn a transform between the bi-directional scattering distribution function BSDF and the ray-traced ground truth of the contributing component of the image, for a plurality of images at different viewpoints in the scene. The machine learning system or neural network may learn to output a value that, when combined with the BSDF for that same position/pixel, results in a pixel value similar to that which would arise from raytracing the image at that pixel.

Title: Electronics module for a wearable article
Inventor: MICHAEL JOHN LYNCH
IPC: G06F1/3206
Filed: 2020-05-07
Abstract: An electronics module for a wearable article has an input unit 111 and a controller 103. The input unit has an antenna (107) or a motion sensor. The input unit detects whether an object (e.g. user's hand or mobile phone) is brought into proximity with the module. The controller responds to an input event from the input unit, determines whether the article is not worn and transitions from a high power (second power mode) to a low power mode (first power mode). This allows the article to save power. The antenna may be a NFC antenna (near field communication antenna). The module may use a timeout: when the article is detected as not being worn, the controller may determine whether a predetermined period of time has elapsed before transitioning from the high power mode to the low power mode. The wearable article may be garment (smart wear).

Title: Display system and method of operation
Inventor: KIRYL CHYKEYUK
IPC: G09G3/00
Filed: 2021-12-01
Abstract: A persistence-of-vision display comprising a plurality of display modules with rotating light sources arranged on a grid pattern, wherein diagonally adjacent modules are located on the same plane and have light sources with non-overlapping paths and the same rotational direction, and perpendicularly adjacent modules are located on different planes and have light sources with overlapping paths and opposite rotational directions. The speed of the modules is controlled through, maintaining at a pre-set value, the phase-shift between a synchronisation signal generated by the modules in response to the movement of the light source and a reference signal comprising a timing feature based on the desired speed. The value of the phase-shift is chosen such that a light source does not obscure the light of adjacent modules and may be limited to multiples of 45 degrees or may be constrained between upper and lower thresholds. The synchronisation signal may be generated using the movement of registration features 51 & 52, fig 7 on the light source past a sensor and the reference signal may be generated by an external controller.

Title: Improved internal label for a bottle
Inventor: JONATHAN SMITH
IPC: G09F19/12
Filed: 2022-04-13
Abstract: An extruded plastics container 10 has a side wall defining a body 12, the container having a first orientation of polymer extrusion. An internal label 20 is positioned within the body, the label comprising a laminated plastics film. The laminated plastics film has at least one outer transparent plastics layer with a second orientation of polymer extrusion. The label has indicia 22 which are viewable through the body and the at least one outer transparent plastics layer. The first and second orientations of polymer extrusion are substantially parallel. The alignment of the polymer extrusions creates polarisation effects whereby the indicia are clearer. A further transparent layer may be added to the opposite side of the label, this further layer having a third orientation of polymer extrusion which is perpendicular to the first and second orientations. When viewed through the opposite side of the container the indicia are obscured by virtue of the perpendicular polarisation caused by the perpendicular extrusion orientations.
