Abstract: L'invention porte sur une vanne, qui comprend un boîtier définissant une trajectoire d'écoulement ayant trois orifices. Une porte dans la trajectoire d'écoulement commande d'une façon pouvant être sélectionnée un écoulement à travers la trajectoire d'écoulement en réponse à une rotation d'un levier. Trois brides de joint d'étanchéité définissent chacune l'un des trois orifices. La porte a trois positions fermées d'une façon pouvant être sélectionnée, comprenant une première position fermée de premier orifice, une position fermée de deuxième orifice et une position fermée de troisième orifice. Un joint d'étanchéité élastique est comprimé entre une face d'étanchéité de la porte et chacune des trois brides de joint d'étanchéité, respectivement, tour à tour, quand la porte est dans chacune des positions fermées. La porte a un premier axe de pivot et un second axe de pivot parallèle au premier axe de pivot et espacé vis-à-vis de celui-ci. La porte peut tourner en alternance autour du premier axe de pivot et du second axe de pivot, de façon à fermer d'une façon pouvant être sélectionnée, chacun individuellement et séparément tour à tour, les trois orifices.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de mise en œuvre de l'algorithme de cohérence entre trames pour une architecture à tri tardif. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, si un pavé de pixels est entièrement recouvert par un seul triangle issu d'un appel de dessin statique dans une trame, alors ce pavé est marqué avec l'identifiant de l'appel de dessin en question. Pour la trame suivante, si le même appel de dessin statique est dessiné, le même pavé sera visité, et si le fragment de l'appel de dessin passe pour tous les pixels, il indique que le pavé contiendra exactement les mêmes valeurs de couleurs de pixels que la trame précédente. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire d'exécuter le nuanceur de pixels pour le pavé de pixels, et les valeurs de couleurs du pavé peuvent, au lieu de cela, être réutilisées à partir de la trame précédente.
