  • Patent number: 10672182
    Abstract: Methods and devices for rendering visible primitives in a scene of an application may include loading a primitive visibility buffer that includes a plurality of primitives representing at least one instance in a scene of the application. The primitive visibility buffer may include for each primitive of the plurality of primitives a visibility bit that describes a visibility state as visible or not visible for each of the plurality primitives. The methods and devices may include determining whether each of the plurality of primitives are visible in the scene based on the visibility bit, rendering a primitive when the visibility bit for the primitive indicates that the primitive is visible, and skipping the rendering of the primitive when the visibility bit indicates that the primitive is not visible. The methods and devices may also include combing pre-computed visibility states with runtime visibility testing when rendering the visibility bits.

  • Publication number: 20190254591
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system and method for providing sensory stimulation (e.g., tones and/or other sensory stimulation) during sleep. The delivery of the sensory stimulation is timed based on a combination of output from a trained time dependent sleep stage model and output from minimally obtrusive sleep monitoring devices (e.g. actigraphy devices, radar devices, video actigraphy devices, an under mattress sensor, etc.). The present disclosure describes determining whether a user is in deep sleep based on this information and delivering sensory stimulation responsive to the user being in deep sleep. In some embodiments, the system comprises one or more sensory stimulators, one or more hardware processors, and/or other components.

  • Publication number: 20190227066
    Abstract: This invention is directed to methods for the facile and accurate identification of cancer cells in a tissue sample, such as a surgical field. In particular, the compositions and methods employ conjugates comprising pro-fluorescent fluorescein based moieties bound to folic or pteroic acid targeting moiety optionally through a linker. The pro-fluorescent fluorescein based moieties are non-fluorescent but capable of being rendered fluorescent by intracellular processes. The conjugates are employed to detect cancer cells that overexpress folic acid receptors thereby providing for differential accumulation of these conjugates in these cells.

  • Publication number: 20190216353
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to deliver sensory stimulation to a user to enhance a target cognitive domain during a sleep session. Example target cognitive domains include memory consolidation, vigilance, verbal fluency, sleepiness, and/or other target cognitive domains. The stimulation is adjusted based on the target cognitive domain to be enhanced. Responsive to one or more brain activity parameters indicating the user is in sufficiently deep sleep, the system is configured to cause one or more sensory stimulators to provide sensory stimulation to the user according to a stimulation strategy associated with the target cognitive domain. The system is configured to determine the effect of the sensory stimulation provided to the user using a quantification method associated with the stimulation strategy and the target cognitive domain. The system includes one or more sensory stimulators, one or more sensors, one or more hardware processors, and/or other components.
