Abstract: A system includes an intraoral scanner and a computing device. The intraoral scanner generates an intraoral scan of a dental site. The computing device processes an input comprising data from the intraoral scan using a trained machine learning model that has been trained to classify regions of dental sites, wherein the trained machine learning model generates an output comprising, for each point in the intraoral scan, an indication as to whether the point belongs to a first dental class that represents excess material. The computing device determines, based on the output, one or more points in the intraoral scan that are classified as excess material. The computing device then hides or removes, from at least one of the intraoral scan or a virtual three-dimensional (3D) model generated using the intraoral scan, data for the one or more points that are classified as excess material.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a memory system that generates a multiplied timing signal from a reference timing signal. During operation, the system receives a reference timing signal. Next, the system produces a multiplied timing signal from the reference timing signal by generating a burst comprising multiple timing events for each timing event in the reference timing signal, wherein consecutive timing events in each burst of timing events are separated by a bit time. Then, as the reference clock frequency changes, the interval between bursts of timing events changes while the bit time remains substantially constant.

Abstract: Approaches in accordance with various embodiments provide for fluid simulation with substantially reduced time and memory requirements with respect to conventional approaches. In particular, various embodiments can perform time and energy efficient, large scale fluid simulation on processing hardware using a method that does not solve for the Navier-Stokes equations to enforce incompressibility. Instead, various embodiments generate a density tensor and rigid body map tensor for a large number of particles contained in a sub-domain. Collectively, the density tensor and rigid body map may represent input channels of a network with three spatial-dimensions. The network may apply a series of operations to the input channels to predict an updated position and updated velocity for each particle at the end of a frame. Such approaches can handle tens of millions of particles within a virtually unbounded simulation domain, as compared to classical approaches that solve for the Navier-Stokes equations.

Abstract: A method of processing primitives within a tiling unit of a graphics processing system comprises determining whether a primitive falls within a tile based on positions of samples within each pixel. If it is determined that the primitive does fall within a tile based on the positions of samples within pixels in a tile, an association between the tile and the primitive is stored to indicate that the primitive is present in the tile. For example, an identifier for the primitive may be added to a control stream for the tile to indicate that the primitive is present in the tile. Various different methods are described to make the determination and these may be used separately or in any combination.

Abstract: To provide more uniform performance levels for solid state drive (SSDs), the static power level used by an SSD in an idle state is measured and used to determine a static power offset for each of the drives.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a finite aperture omni-directional camera is modeled by aligning a finite aperture lens and focal point with the omni-directional part of the projection. For example, each point on an image plane maps to a direction in camera space. For a spherical projection, the lens can be orientated along this direction and the focal point is picked along this direction at focal distance from the lens. For a cylindrical projection, the lens can be oriented along the projected direction on the two dimensional (2D) xz-plane, as the projection is not omni-directional in the y direction. The focal point is picked along the (unprojected) direction so its projection on the xz-plane is at focal distance from the lens. The final outgoing ray can be constructed by sampling of point on this oriented lens and shooting a ray from there through the focal point.
