  • Patent number: 9499738
    Abstract: The invention relates to a solid organic scintillator comprising a polymeric matrix in which there are dispersed one or more fluorophore compounds and one or more chemical elements having an atomic number ranging from 40 to 83, characterized in that said scintillator has a weight content of said chemical elements of at least 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the scintillator, and in that the scintillator emits an emission spectrum comprising an emission peak at a wavelength of at least 550 nm.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8350855
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for reducing anti-aliasing in a procedural texture. One method includes creating a procedural reduction map describing the texture as applied to an object, and querying the map for radiance of a pixel in the object. One system includes memory and a processor. The processor is programmed, by the code stored in the memory, to create a procedural reduction map describing the texture as applied to an object, and query the map for radiance of a pixel in the object. One system includes means for creating a procedural reduction map describing the texture as applied to an object, and means for querying the map for radiance of a pixel in the object. The map includes a basis functions and a hierarchy of texels. Each texel includes basis weights and a surface normal distribution. Each basis weight corresponds to one of the basis functions.
