Abstract: A method of warping data includes the steps of providing a set of target coordinates x?N, calculating, by a warping engine, source coordinates x??N for the target coordinates x?N, requesting, by the warping engine, data values for a plurality of source coordinates from a cache, and computing, by the warping engine, interpolated data values for each x in a neighborhood of x? from the data values of the source coordinates returned from the cache. Requesting data values from the cache includes notifying the cache that data values for a particular group of source points will be needed for computing interpolated data values for a particular target point, and fetching the data values for the particular group of source points when they are need for computing interpolated data values for the particular target point.

Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for data transfer in LED display. A signal signaling a timing for a next data transfer is received. In response to the signal, a next data transfer instruction is obtained that instructs reading a bit-based image block of an image from a memory. The bit-based image block is transferred, according to the next data transfer instruction, from the memory via a bus connected thereto, to one of a pair of alternate buffers pointed to by a write buffer pointer. Then, the write buffer pointer is toggled to point to another of the pair of alternate buffers and the process repeats. The bit-based image blocks alternately stored in the buffers are later retrieved and displayed on the LED display.

Abstract: A multichannel interpolator has an input that receives input data that consists of interleaved channel data from a plurality of data channels. A block random access memory (BRAM) stores data samples from the input data received from the input. Input control logic receives the data samples from the input and places the data samples into the BRAM. Interpolator logic interpolates the data samples to produce output data. The output data is interpolated at an interpolation ratio programmed by a user. The interpolator logic includes a phase generator that calculates a value indicating the interpolation ratio, and a fractional template block that provides a fractional template used to interpolate the data samples to produce the output data, the fraction template block selecting, based on the value calculated by the phase generator. The fractional template is used to interpolate the data samples to produce the output data.

Abstract: A client device that includes a camera and an extended reality client application program is employed by a user in a physical space, such as an industrial or campus environment. The user aims the camera within the mobile device at a real-world asset, such as a computer system, classroom, or vehicle.

The client device queries a data intake and query system for asset content associated with the detected anchors. Upon receiving the asset content from the data intake and query system, the client device generates visualizations of the asset content and presents the visualizations via a display device.

Abstract: A user may select one or more potential common ancestors with a DNA match to view the target individual's relationship with them. The process may include identifying, from a first genealogical profile of the target individual. A first individual has a first linkage that connects the target individual towards the selected potential common ancestor. The process may also include identifying, from a second genealogical profile of the DNA match, a second individual who has a second linkage that connects the DNA match towards the selected potential common ancestor. The process may further include connecting the first linkage and the second linkage with the selected potential common ancestor by adding one or more individuals whose profiles are retrieved from other searchable genealogical profiles stored in the online system. With the nodes and connections available, the process may generate a map of visual connections between the target individual and the DNA match.
