Title: Primitive processing in a graphics processing system
Inventor: REDSHAW JONATHAN
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2013-12-13
Abstract: A graphics processing system has a rendering space which comprises one or more tiles. The system comprises a processing module configured to perform hidden surface removal for primitives of a tile to determine primitive identifiers identifying the primitives which are visible at each of a plurality of sample positions in the tile. A set of two or more tag buffers store the primitive identifiers determined for each of the sample positions in a tile, thereby representing overlapping layers of primitives. A tag control module controls: (i) selection of a tag buffer for the storage of each of the primitive identifiers according to the layering of the primitive identifiers stored in the tag buffers, and (ii) flushing of primitive identifiers from the tag buffers. A texturing engine applies texturing to the primitives identified by the flushed primitive identifiers. The application is applicable to rendering scenes containing translucent primitives or primitives whose textures include punch through.

Title: Vehicle Control System and method
Inventor: DUNOYER ALAIN
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2014-03-26
Abstract: A motor vehicle system monitors the position of a first vehicle 100 with respect to its current lane; detects the existence of a collision hazard (e.g. second vehicle 100) in an adjacent second lane; and detects an intention of the driver of the first vehicle to change lane into the second lane. If both the driver intention and the collision hazard are detected, the system provides feedback to the driver. Thus a force (e.g. counter-torque or reduction in torque assist) may be applied to the steering wheel. The magnitude or duration of the warning torque may depend on the driver-applied steering or steering wheel torque. It may guide the vehicle to the centre of the first lane, thus preventing lane-change. The drivers wish to change lane may be detected from activation of a turn indicator or steering inputs.
