Title: Associating Fade Factors with Texture Pages in a Graphics Processing System
Inventor: NYSTAD JORN
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2013-11-29
Abstract: A graphics virtual texturing system in which textures stored in a storage medium of a host system are divided into respective pages that are then loaded into a local memory of a graphics processing system for use. Each sub-region or page of a graphics texture (or a mipmap level of detail of a graphics texture) has an associated fade factor value that can be set by an application that is to use the texture to control the contribution that the page will make to any texturing result generated using the texture page in question. The graphics processing system then controls the contribution of texture data from a texture page to texturing result data to be generated in accordance with the fade factor value associated with the texture page in question. This allows texture paging to be done in a more visually pleasing manner than just a binary page-is here/page-is-not-here switch.

Title: Encoding of memory cell bit storage having stuck-at faults
Inventor: GUYOT CYRIL
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 2013-12-05
Abstract: A data storage system includes a memory circuit comprising memory cells and a control circuit. The control circuit generates a first set of redundant bits indicating the bit positions of the memory cells having stuck-at faults in response to a first write operation dependent on whether a first rate or first bit error rate (BER) of the stuck-at faults in the memory cells is greater than a first threshold, for example greater than zero. The control circuit is operable to encode data bits to generate encoded data bits and a second set of redundant bits that indicate a transformation (such as a data inversion) performed on the data bits to generate the encoded data bits in response to a second write operation if a second rate of stuck-at faults in the memory cells is greater than a second threshold. The encoded data bits stored in the memory cells having the stuck-at faults match digital values of corresponding ones of the stuck-at faults. The data storage system may generate a third set of redundant bits indicating which if the first data bits stored in the memory cells having stuck at faults match digital values corresponding to the ones of the stuck at faults in response to the first operation. The memory circuit may operate as a multi-level memory cell and/or may comprise a phase change memory cell.
Patent GB-2521452-A (GB)
Title: Point Cloud Simplification
Inventor: CURINGTON IAN
IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2013-12-20
Abstract: A set of points comprising a point cloud is recursively spatially partitioned (e.g. divisive hierarchical clustering of the set of points, k-dimensional or octree tree spatial partitioning) into a hierarchy of clusters (S1-1), and representative points (e.g. closest to the mean of the points) within each cluster are identified. For each representative point, a point pair is defined that consists of the representative point and a representative point of an immediate parent cluster (see Figure 3b). A contraction error metric is calculated (e.g. sum of squared distances between a new replacement point and each point in an affiliated set of points arising from the contraction of the pair, or quadric error metrics for each point-pair) (S1-3), and the point-pair with the lowest (minimum) error metric is iteratively contracted (S1-4) (i.e. a single point at a position that minimises the error metric replaces the pair). The remaining point pairs are updated as a result of the contraction, and the contraction error metrics of the updated point-pairs are revised. A contraction queue may be used and updated. Iterative contraction may continue until meeting a stop criteria (S5). Recursive spatial partitioning may continue until a single point or predefined depth is reached.
