Title: Method of dynamic balance for magnetic levitation molecular pump
Inventor: ZHANG KAI
IPC: F04D19/04
Filed: 2012-11-22
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of dynamic balance for a magnetic levitation molecular pump involving starting a force-unrestrained imbalance vibration control module after actuating the magnetic levitation molecular pump motor (8). If under the control of the force-unrestrained imbalance vibration control module, an unbalance mass on a rotor makes the maximum radial vibration amplitude of the rotor when accelerating not exceed 1/2 of a protective clearance, the force-unrestrained imbalance vibration control module can inhibit the co-frequency vibration of the rotor, meaning that the rotational speed of the rotor can very quickly exceed the critical rotational speed for the rigidity thereof. As a result, at a relatively high speed, an influence coefficient method is used to perform a dynamic balancing operation on the rotor of the magnetic levitation molecular pump. The method of dynamic balancing can directly perform a dynamic balancing operation on the magnetic levitation molecular pump at high speed, the steps are simple and the efficiency is high.

Title: Tiling a primitive in a graphics processing system
Inventor: XILE YANG
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2015-04-22
Abstract: Tiling a primitive 1102 in a graphics processing system to determine which of a plurality of tiles 1122 of a rendering space the primitive intersects or overlaps with. The tiling involves determining a bounding box for the primitive and, for each boundary 1114 between lines (e.g. rows or columns) of tiles, finding intersection points 1108, 1118 between the boundary and edges of the primitive and using these points to determine which tiles contain at least part of the primitive. Preferably, start 1122s and end 1122e tiles are identified as the respective first or last tiles in a line which contain either vertices or intersection points; and tiles which overlap the primitive in each given line of tiles are determined as all tiles between and including the start and end tiles. Preferably, the lines of tiles are rows if there are fewer rows than columns in the bounding box and the lines are columns of tiles if there are fewer rows than columns. Further independent claims are for tiling primitives in which tiles containing vertices are identified with no further processing and tiling tests are done on two or more tiles and this determines whether the primitive intersects tiles in a region bounded by the tested tiles.
