Patent number: 8610729Abstract: A floating point rasterization and frame buffer in a computer system graphics program. The rasterization, fog, lighting, texturing, blending, and antialiasing processes operate on floating point values. In one embodiment, a 16-bit floating point format consisting of one sign bit, ten mantissa bits, and five exponent bits (s10e5), is used to optimize the range and precision afforded by the 16 available bits of information. In other embodiments, the floating point format can be defined in the manner preferred in order to achieve a desired range and precision of the data stored in the frame buffer. The final floating point values corresponding to pixel attributes are stored in a frame buffer and eventually read and drawn for display. The graphics program can operate directly on the data in the frame buffer without losing any of the desired range and precision of the data.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Graphic Properties Holdings, Inc.Inventors: John M. Airey, Mark S. Peercy, Robert A. Drebin, John Montrym, David L. Dignam, Christopher J. Migdal, Danny D. Loh

Patent number: 8296763Abstract: A system and method for providing Personal Cloud computing and for hosting applications and/or content may employ a network attached storage device on which virtual machine monitors (T-cups) and logical devices (Ts) are instantiated in memory. Each T may include hosted content, application modules, a server module configured to host the modules and/or content, and an interface module configured to provide access to the modules and/or content in response to detecting an authorized key. Detecting an authorized key may include communicating with a name server to determine if a T instantiated on a storage device coupled to the system is associated with a device identifier on a list of device identifiers authorized to access the module(s). The storage device may be a computer, camera, frame, phone, audio/video player, or portable storage device. The name server may be configured to authenticate Ts, define T ownership, and/or establish friend-to-friend networks between Ts.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Mark S. Peercy, Danny D. Loh
