Title: Method and apparatus for attribute interpolation in 3d graphics
Inventor: WOOD KARL JOSEPH
IPC: G06T15/10
Filed: 1998-07-16
Abstract: An image processing method and apparatus are described for rendering two-dimensional pixel images composed of triangular image primitives. Prior to their projection into the image plane, each triangle is parameterised with a respective two-dimensional coordinate system with the coordinate axes (s, t) concurrent with respective edges of the triangle and the origin (0,0) coincident with the vertex (V.0) between those edges. A generalised interpolation function, applied in terms of the parameterising (s, t) coordinate system, determines parameter values at positions (P) within the triangle in terms of the two-dimensional coordinate system. These parameter values determine contributions from stored values for one or more attributes, such as surface normal or texturing, stored for each vertex, to give attribute values at each pixel. In a final stage, the per pixel attribute values from all triangles are used to jointly determine an output colour for each pixel.

Abstract: In a conventional transport case (10), a flexible electric cable (17) passes across
a hinge (28) disposed between a base part (11) and a lid part (12) of the transport
case (10). The cable (17) is vulnerable and obstructs the inner space of the
transport case (10). To overcome these problems, the invention provides the
transport case (10) with first and second electric contact members (50, 60) that
are in electric contact with each other when the transport case (10) is in its closed
state and are not in electric contact with each other when the transport case
(10) is in its open state, the first contact member (50) being mechanically attached
(possibly retrofitted) to the base part (11) and electrically coupled to a base
conductor (17a), and the second contact member (60) being mechanically
attached (possibly retrofitted) to the lid part (12) and electrically coupled to a
lid conductor (17b). Thus, electric power can be supplied securely and conveniently
from a motorbike into a transport case (10) fitted to the rack (30) of the
motorbike. The electric power may be fed to a lamp which is installed in the lid
part (12) of the transport case (10) and used as a rear light of the motorbike.
