Title: Methods and systems for constructing ray tracing acceleration structures
Inventor: SIMON FENNEY
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2020-07-14
Abstract: Ray tracing for rendering a graphical environment using a top-level acceleration structure TLAS (i.e. having leaf nodes referencing instances, ‘k’, of further models or bottom-level acceleration structures BLAS), where each node 620-626 of the TLAS is associated to a bounding volume 610-616 and a transformation such that the bounding volume can be transformed for ray tracing. This effects the use of oriented bounding boxes OBB or oriented bounding volumes OBV in top-level acceleration structures using model instancing. The transformation matrices may, in some embodiments, be chosen from a defined list or palette of transformation matrices for the top-level tree and indication by an index associated to the node. The transformations may be affine mappings. The bounding volumes may be chosen from a set of candidate bounding volumes. When ray tracing, the transformations or transformation matrices may be used to transform the testing ray against the bounding volume of a given node to be tested.

Patent GB-2598140-A (GB)
Title: Read-if-hit-pre-PoPA-request
Inventor: Alexander Alfred Hornung
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2020-08-20
Abstract: Requester circuitry 4 issues an access request specifying a target physical address (PA) and a target physical address space (PAS) identifier identifying a target PAS. Prior to a point of physical aliasing (PoPA), a pre-PoPA memory system component 24, 8 treats aliasing PAs from different PASs which actually correspond to the same memory system resource as if they correspond to different memory system resources. A post-PoPA memory system component 6 treats the aliasing PAs as referring to the same memory system resource. When the target PA and target PAS of a read-if-hit-pre-PoPA request hit in a pre-PoPA cache 24, a data response is returned to the requester circuitry 4. If the read-if-hitpre-PoPA request misses in the pre-PoPA cache 24, a no-data response is returned. The read-if-hit-pre-PoPA request is safe to issue speculatively while waiting for security checks to be performed, improving performance.

Filed: 2020-12-03
Abstract: A time of flight (ToF) camera comprises a multipixel sensor and a light source and is arranged to emit illumination having a spatially non uniform (light) intensity over the field of view of the sensor. An actuation mechanism moves the illumination across at least part of the field of view of the sensor, thereby enabling generation of a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a scene (e.g. by combining plural initial (sub)frames to provide final frames having a frame rate of at least 30 frames per second). The sensor has a native frame of at least 60 frames per second, and this may be at least 100, or 200, frames per second (fps). A frame combining algorithm may be used that does not actively compensate for motion in the scene. The ToF camera aims to reduce motion blur due to frame stacking, for example in High Dynamic Range (HDR) cameras.

Title: Carburator valve for heating installation
Inventor: SCHICHL KARL
IPC: F24D19/10
Filed: 1988-12-22
Abstract: The invention refers to a specialised mixing valve for heating and hot water installations, incorporated into the casing of a circulation pump so that the design of the adjustment wheel of the mixer device (element), which is supplied with a fin and rotary wheel of the circulation pump and is configured in alignment, allows the regulator element of the mixer to be variable. The motion transfer mechanism transfers motion from the rotary wheel of the circulation pump, by way of an adjustable coupling configuration, or by incoming and outgoing configuration of coupling elements. According to the invention, the element is set up so that when in the shutoff position regardless of the position of the device's regulator or fins, it provides significantly reduced exchange of water in comparison to total flow, at a rate of 10 percent of the passing quantity of water, so that the return from the water heating circuit is mixed and therefore heated before returning to the boiler.
