Title: Hardware-enhanced graphics acceleration of pixel sub-component-oriented images
Inventor: LYAPUNOV MIKHAIL M
IPC: G06T13/80
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: Hardware acceleration of the rendering and animation of characters that treat each pixel sub-component as a distinct luminance intensity source. A bit-map representation of the sub-component-oriented character is generated by using a single image sample to generate each pixel sub-component. This may be accomplished by, for example, overscaling a representation of the character, placing the overscaled representation of the character on a grid, and then assigning a luminance and possibly a transparency value to each grid position based on the properties of the overscaled character at that grid position. Then, the character is rendered by interfacing with a hardware graphics unit that performs the final rendering and animation of the character.

Abstract: The current invention relates to a drain hose flush adapter, system, and method of use for cleaning or flushing hoses and tubes as those used to drain waste water sewage and holding tanks.  For example, one end of the adapter may be removably connected to a source of flushing fluid, and the other end of the adapter may be connected to a waste water drain hose, so that the flushing fluid flows through the adapter and into the hose with minimal leakage.  In addition, the connection can be secure enough so that the operator is able to manipulate the hose and complete the flushing quickly and conveniently, with a low risk of being subject to an unsanitary and unpleasant mess.  Thus, for instance, the invention could be used to simplify flushing of drain hoses used to drain black and/or gray water holding tanks that receive and retain waste water from sinks, bathtubs, showers, and toilets of recreation vehicles, motor homes, travel trailers, campers, airplanes, and boats.
