Title: Systems, circuits, devices, and methods with bidirectional bipolar transistors
Inventor: BLANCHARD RICHARD A
IPC: H03K17/66
Filed: 2014-06-24
Abstract: Methods, systems, circuits, and devices for power-packet-switching power converters using bidirectional bipolar transistors (BTRANs) for switching. Four-terminal three-layer BTRANs provide substantially identical operation in either direction with forward voltages of less than a diode drop. BTRANs are fully symmetric merged double-base bidirectional bipolar opposite-faced devices which operate under conditions of high non-equilibrium carrier concentration, and which can have surprising synergies when used as bidirectional switches for power-packet-switching power converters. BTRANs are driven into a state of high carrier concentration, making the on-state voltage drop very low.

Title: Generation of a control stream for a tile
Inventor: XILE YANG
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2016-04-29
Abstract: Method and system for of processing primitives within a tiling unit of a graphics processing system comprising determining whether a primitive 802 falls within a tile A based on positions of samples within each pixel. Intersection points Va and Vb between the edges of the primitive and the boundaries of the tile are generated and a sub-polygon is formed by replacing vertices outside the tile with the intersection points. A determination of whether the sub-polygon overlaps any of the sample positions is used in determining whether the primitive falls within the tile. If it is determined that the primitive does fall within a tile an association between the tile and the primitive is stored to indicate that the primitive is present in the tile. A bounding box 804 of the sub-polygon may be used in determining if the sub-polygon overlaps any sample positions. The determination of whether the primitive falls within the tile may also comprise generating a reduced bounding box of the tile.

Abstract: A connectivity system for a vehicle includes a connectivity program configured to receive a connectivity map, sample connectivity, transmit the samples, anticipate connectivity based on the map, and instruct other programs based on the anticipated connectivity. The scope of the connectivity map may depend on a user selection, projected destination or vehicle speed. The instructions may be generated by a leveraging subprogram 430 which adjusts the schedule by which the other programs transmit or receive data. Programs may be ranked as vital or non-vital, and anticipated poor connectivity may cause transmissions for vital programs to be prioritised whilst non-vital transmissions are paused. The connectivity map may be updated through updating subprogram 420 using sampled connectivity. Sampling may be performed using a plurality of rates and qualities, and may be performed according to a received sampling plan. Connectivity samples may be sent when a predetermined discrepancy degree between the samples and anticipated connectivity is detected.
