20160045093 | Bromop - The invention relates to a manually operable floor cleaning tool. I have found the most effective way to clean floors is by hand with a wet cloth. The unique design of the Bromop enables a wet cloth to be used effectively without the user having to bend or kneel to do so. Additionally, previous similar inventions such as the Swiffer are improved by incorporating a broom head and dustpan into the design, and using re-useable cleaning cloths instead of disposable cleaning wipes. Water consumption is a concern for many people throughout the world and the Bromop requires on average 95% less water to clean the same amount of square footage compared with sponge mops. Laminate flooring is prone to warping when it gets wet and the Bromop eliminates that issue by leaving minimal water on the cleaned surface after cleaning, which in turn lowers the required dry time. | 02-18-2016 |

20100033483 | Exchanging Data Between Vertex Shaders And Fragment Shaders On A Graphics Processing Unit - It is desirable for a fragment shader to have access to non-interpolated values for each vertex of the primitive in which the fragment is located. For example, a fragment shader may use the distortion of the primitive with respect to an original state of the primitive as part of the function the fragment shader performs. Due to the specification of fragment shaders and vertex shaders, fragments shaders receive only interpolated values, and thus cannot receive non-interpolated values of, for example, one solution to this problem would be to modify the processing engine for the shader language, and the shader specifications themselves, so that a fragment shader can receive non-interpolated values from the vertices of the primitive on which the fragment is located. Desirable values to receive would be at least the vertex coordinates. Another solution is to specify and use varyings in a manner that pass data to a fragment shader that permit the fragment shader to reconstruct the non-interpolated values. One way to achieve this is to a. allocate varyings and assign them indices, b. assign indices to the vertices and c. have each a shader contribute only to those varyings having the same index as the vertex being processed, and otherwise contribute a null value, such as 0, to the varyings with other indices. In this manner, when the interpolated value for the indexed varying is received by the fragment shader, the indexed varying contains the contribution of only one vertex, scaled by an interpolation parameter. Another indexed varying can be used to pass the interpolation parameter, allowing the original value for the vertex to be computed by the fragment shader. | 02-11-2010 |
20100033492 | PRODUCING WRINKLES AND OTHER EFFECTS FOR A COMPUTER-GENERATED CHARACTER BASED ON SURFACE STRESS - Wrinkles are produced by computing directional stress, whether compression or stretching, for each pixel within each face of the mesh representing the skin, and then perturbing a surface normal based on the computed stress at each pixel in that face of the mesh. Directional stress at a given frame in an animation is determined, in general, by comparing the current state of the mesh at that frame (called a “current pose”) to the original state of the mesh (called a “rest pose”). An artist specifies a wrinkle pattern by defining a texture that is mapped to the surface, using conventional techniques. A gradient texture is created from this wrinkle texture by computing the gradient at each pixel in the wrinkle texture. For each location in a face of the surface, the vector from the gradient texture is mapped to the corresponding face of the rest pose skin model and the current pose skin model, to produce two surface vectors. These two vectors are compared to provide an estimate of the surface stress at this location in the face. A wrinkle effect may be implemented using bump mapping, but the surface normal is perturbed differently for each location in the face of the mesh based on the skin stress estimated at that location. Other effects also may be created using the estimated stresses. | 02-11-2010 |

The central computer detects and compares the location of the place where the fault is produced by comparing the time of arrival of the signals. The central computer may then automatically or manually disconnect any part of the distribution network in order to extinguish the fault arc. | 11-29-2012 |

20140156577 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ARTIFICIAL COGNITION - Methods, systems and apparatus that provide for perceptual, cognitive, and motor behaviors in an integrated system implemented using neural architectures. Components of the system communicate using artificial neurons that implement neural networks. The connections between these networks form representations—referred to as semantic pointers—which model the various firing patterns of biological neural network connections. Semantic pointers can be thought of as elements of a neural vector space, and can implement a form of abstraction level filtering or compression, in which high-dimensional structures can be abstracted one or more times thereby reducing the number of dimensions needed to represent a particular structure. | 06-05-2014 |

20110145275 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CONTEXTUAL USER INTERFACES FOR DISPLAY OF MEDIA ITEMS - Some aspects relate to systems and methods of tagging to enhance contextualization of media items and ease of use. Tag data structures provide an extensible platform to allow description of a concept from multiple points of view and in multiple contexts, such as locations, activities, and people. Individual application instances using these data structures can each maintain a private store of media items, and can be synchronized with a server. Each application owner can select portions of the private store to share. The server also can maintain canonical hierarchies of tags, such as hierarchies of activities and of places. These canonical hierarchies can be provided to application instances, where private modifications/additions can be made. Owners can offer to share private modifications, which can be accepted or rejected. Displays of media item selections and of clouds of related tags can be formed based on the contextual and relational information contained in the tags and in the canonical hierarchies. | 06-16-2011 |

20120102428 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC BACKGROUND USER INTERFACE(S) - Some aspects relate to providing a graphical interface for an application, underlying a graphical interface provided by an operating system shell. In an example, an input device (e.g., a mouse) generates an event associated with a location of a graphical display. The event is intercepted by a code segment provided in conjunction with the application, which determines whether the location is associated with a defined portion of the display associated with an actionable area of the graphical interface for the application, and that the location is not also associated with an element of the OS shell graphical interface (and if applicable, an active window of another application). If those conditions hold, then the event is redirected to the application, which can become active or take one or more actions. In a particular example, the defined portion of the display is visually distinguishable on a wallpaper image stored in video memory. | 04-26-2012 |
