    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for generating a simulated shadow for a digital object on a virtual curved surface in a digital canvas. A base image is generated by removing color from the digital object. An initial shadow image is generated by identifying the virtual curved surface on the digital canvas and projecting the base image onto the virtual curved surface. A plurality of blurred images is generated by blurring the initial shadow image to different percentages of blur for each of the plurality of blurred images. A mathematical function is applied for generating the simulated shadow on the virtual curved surface, wherein the mathematical function interpolates between the initial shadow image and the plurality of blurred images at different points on the virtual curved surface.

  • Publication number: 20140108909
    Abstract: In the present invention, a combination of asynchronous rendering and synchronous rendering is utilized to render an electronic document on the screen of a computing device. Particularly, a document-rendering application may be configured to draw asynchronously a high-detail version of the document to a rendering cache. This high-detail version is used to paint the document to the screen in a synchronous screen refresh operation. If, during the screen refresh operation, there are parts of the viewport that the asynchronous process has not finished rendering, these missing parts are filled in with a low-detailed version of the document that is painted fast enough to maintain the high screen refresh rate. For example, the low-detailed version of the document may show the basic structure of the document including the background color, layout boxes, and lines. However, other elements of the document may be replaced or excluded entirely from the less-detailed version.

  • Patent number: 8687012
    Abstract: An example of a game apparatus includes a CPU, and in a mode of examining a flower based on an imaged image, the CPU activates two outward cameras to thereby display an imaging screen on a stereoscopic LCD and a lower LCD. In the center of an upper screen displayed on the stereoscopic LCD, a designation image for adjusting a position and a size of an object to be imaged is displayed. Also, on the upper screen, a through image imaged by the outward camera is displayed, and the designation image is displayed in front of the through image. At this time, the designation image is displayed in a complementary color of a color of the through image.

  • Patent number: 8626460
    Abstract: A chip diagnostics management system includes secure design information that define production features of integrated circuit devices and are accessible according to selected levels of access privilege. A database of device defect information includes information of defects of devices produced according to the production features of the design information and associated wafers, production lots, and dies in or with which the devices were produced. A diagnostic manager correlates device defect information from plural wafers with the design information to identify a device location with a probability of being associated with the device defect information. A diagnostic manager viewer indicates the device location together with an amount of design information correlated the level of access privilege assigned to a selected user.
