  • Patent number: 11645814
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein present a technique for mesh simplification. A computing system may receive a request to render an image of a virtual scene including a virtual object. The system may determine one or more positions of the virtual object relative to one or more of a foveal focus point or a lens, respectively. The system may determine a screen coverage size of the virtual object. The system may then determine a simplification level for the virtual object based on the determined position(s) and the screen coverage size of the virtual object. The system may generate a mesh representation of the virtual object based on the determined simplification level, where the number of polygons used in the mesh representation depends on the determined simplification level. The system may render the image of the virtual scene using at least the generated mesh representation of the virtual object.

  • Patent number: 10745298
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating an aqueous liquid comprising oil droplets and a surfactant and/or a base. For this method, a pore size threshold of a filter is determined taking into account the interfacial tension between the oil droplets and the water, and a filter is selected whose pore size is less than or equal to this threshold for filtration of the aqueous liquid.

  • Patent number: 4035293
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for purifying an effluent containing acids such as phosphonic and phosphoric acids by the addition of CaO or Ca(OH).sub.2 in an amount ranging from 55-93 per cent by weight basis acids at a temperature of 35.degree. to 100.degree. C to a pH of 8 to 12. After removing the precipitated material, the effluent can be neutralized with CO.sub.2 gas. The precipitate can be calcined to tri calcium phosphate.
