Title: An aligned electro-optical hybrid trap spectrometer for cooling and characterising nanoparticles
Inventor: TANIA SCHEEL MONTEIRO
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2015-12-22
Abstract: A spectrometer is presented for trapping, cooling and fuller characterisation of nanoparticles in vacuum, potentially operating in the quantum regime. The device comprises a combined ion trap-optical cavity set-up. The underlying operating principles arise from the interplay between the ion trap dynamics and the cavity mode, in particular, two features: firstly, the optical field provides a cavity-field shift to the ion trap secular frequencies and stability parameters, offering a means to measure not only charge-mass but also polarisability and mass; secondly, in turn, the ion trap micromotions introduce an optomechanical cooling mechanism of a cyclic nature, which may remove the need for either a second, cooling mode or feedback cooling in order to cool to the quantum ground state. The system may lead to quantum-limited spectrometry of nanoparticles. The fields may be aligned vertically to support the trapped particles against gravity.

Title: Tiling a primitive in a graphics processing system
Inventor: XILE YANG
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2016-01-08
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.
