Patents by Inventor Deborah Silver

Deborah Silver has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6664961
    Abstract: The present invention is a digital electronic system for rendering a volume image in real time. The system accelerators the processing of voxels through early ray termination and space leaping techniques in the projection guided ray casting of the voxels. Predictable and regular voxel access from high-speed internal memory further accelerates the volume rendering. Through the acceleration techniques and devices of the present invention real-time rendering of parallel and perspective views, including those for stereoscopic viewing, are achieved.
    Type: Grant
