  • METHOD FOR CAPTURING AND RECORDING HIGH-DEFINITION VIDEO AND AUDIO OUTPUT AS BROADCAST BY COMMERCIAL STREAMING SERVICE PROVIDERS
    Publication number: 20210027810
    Abstract: Methods and systems for recording streaming audio and video by directing an incoming audio-visual stream to a discrete memory region serving as a virtual display. The virtual display is configured with a section visible to the viewer and a section invisible to the viewer, wherein a streaming video is hidden from the user's display under all conditions. The user's browser is pre-loaded with hooks to redirect the video portion of the stream to the invisible section of the virtual memory wherein a video capture tool specifically designed to interact with the hooks can now recognize each function call and intercept each frame as it is rendered in the GPU. Concurrently, the audio portion of the stream is remapped using an audio indexing application. The GPU framebuffers and audio sinks are multiplexed together and saved to disk. The file is immediately accessible for playback or copying.

  • Phantom setup and source-to-surface distance verification using radiation imaging
    Patent number: 10898158
    Abstract: A phantom setup and source-to-surface distance (SSD) verification method uses radiation images. In an exemplary method, a phantom is positioned on a support relative to a radiation source such that a surface of the phantom is horizontally leveled at or approximate to a desired value of SSD. The radiation source is then positioned at a gantry angle predetermined at least based on the desired value of SSD such that a ray of radiation from the radiation source aligns with a horizontal surface located at the desired value of SSD. An image is acquired using radiation from the radiation source at the predetermined gantry angle. Verification is performed to confirm, based on an analysis of the image, if the surface of the phantom is positioned at the desired value of SSD.

  • Power and ground mesh modeling for placement in circuit design
    Patent number: 10902174
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for modeling a power and ground (PG) mesh for a circuit design placement process. For some embodiments, a reference PG mesh can be used to generate a PG mesh model for a circuit design. A PG mesh model can be generated for a circuit design by calculating how much routing resource is occupied by the reference PG mesh of the circuit design, and the resulting PG mesh model can be applied to the circuit design by removing a similar amount of routing resource from the circuit design during a placement circuit design flow. Additionally (or alternatively), a PG mesh model can be generated to comprise a set of metal obstructions that correspond to each macro of the circuit design, and the PG mesh model can be applied to the circuit design by adding the metal obstructions to one or more metal layers of the circuit design.
