Title: Multiple parallel processor computer graphics system
Inventor: GONZALEZ NELSON
IPC: G06F15/80
Filed: 2007-09-18
Abstract: An accelerated graphics processing subsystem combines the processing power of multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) or video cards. Video processing by the multiple video cards is organized by time division such that each video card is responsible for video data processing during a different time period. For example, two video cards may take turns, with the first video card controlling a display for a certain time period and the second video sequentially assuming video processing duties for a subsequent period. In this way, as one video card is managing the display in one time period, the second video card is processing video data for the for the next time period, thereby allowing extensive processing of the video data before the start of the next time period. The present invention may further incorporate load balancing such that the duration of the processing time periods for each of the video cards is dynamically modified to maximize composite video processing.

Patent GB-2462368-A (GB)
Title: Adjustment of quiescent cathode current in a thermionic valve audio amplifier
Inventor: FALLON ANDREW
IPC: H03F1/30
Filed: 2009-08-04
Abstract: A digital controller 101 adjusts the grid bias voltage of a valve 102 until the cathode current measured by the sense resistor 106 becomes equal to a set value. Adjustment is performed only when the controller detects that there is no audio signal present on the sensing node 107. As quiet intervals often exist between audio tracks, the amplifier can thus be adjusted regularly when in use. The controller maintains amplifier performance despite rapid valve ageing caused by the overdrive which is often used to achieve desirable distortion. Valve gain is measured when the amplifier is turned on, and an alert is raised if this measured gain is too low, so that the valve can be replaced. The amplifier may be of push-pull type. The controller may be retro-fitted to an existing amplifier.

Title: Photographic print-out paper and prints made therefrom
IPC: G03C1/49
Filed: 1922-04-11
Abstract: 178,828. Johnson, J. A. April 25, 1921, [Convention date]. Plates, films, and papers; developing.-Consists in the production of high-speed print-out plates, films, papers, &c. having a silver iodide emulsion in which the silver iodide is the active ingredient, by adding to the emulsion a sensitizing agent of such a character that the same surface will yield a developable image after a short exposure, or a visible image after prolonged exposure. The use of salts or derivatives of hydrazine or hydroxylamine as sensitizing agents is specifically excluded. The emulsion may be produced by treating paper coated with silver chloride, bromide or bromochloride emulsion with a soluble iodide, or by coating the paper &c. directly with a gelatine or collodion silver iodide emulsion, and sensitizing the emulsion after drying with a solution containing an organic sensitizer such as monomethyl paraamidol sulphate and an inorganic accelerator such as sodium sulphite. The sensitizing operation may be performed in daylight, since the sensitized emulsion does not become lightsensitive until it is dried. Other sensitizing solutions are mentioned. The visible image produced on printing may be fixed by merely washing in water to remove the sensitizer; the unchanged silver iodide remains in the emulsion, but is light-sensitive. Sodium thiosulphate must not be used, since the image is soluble therein. Greater permanence may be ensured by treating the prints in dilute alkali, for example a 10 per cent solution of caustic soda and washing. The printing operation may be carried only partly to completion, and the image developed to its full intensity in dilute alkali, for example a solution containing 10 per cent sodium carbonate and 10 per cent sodium sulphite, and fixed as before by washing out the sensitizer. The unchanged silver iodide may be removed by sodium thiosulphate, which does not affect the image produced in this case. The first method of printing gives brown tones, and the second one bluish tones. The colour of the paper is yellow, but may be varied by heat. The paper may be used in conjunction with a radium pencil in self-recording meters &c. The emulsion is sensitive to the red end of the spectrum. Prints made upon it cannot be copied by the ordinary wet process used by photo engravers, since it will not reflect violet or ultra-violet light. Faded prints mav be restored by development, for example with monomethyl para-amidophenol sulphate, sodium sulphite and sodium carbonate. Specification 1689/08 is referred to.
