Publication number: 20240095996Abstract: To improve the efficiency of bounding volumes in a hardware based ray tracer, we employ a sheared axis-aligned bounding box to approximate an oriented bounding box typically defined by rotations. To achieve this, the bounding volume hierarchy builder shears an axis-aligned box to fit tightly around its enclosed oriented geometry in top level or bottom level space, then computes the inverse shear transform. The bounds are still stored as axis-aligned boxes in memory, now defined in the new sheared coordinate system, along with the derived parameters to transform a ray into the sheared coordinate system before testing intersection with the boxes. The ray-bounding volume intersection test is performed as usual, just in the new sheared coordinate system.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Gregory MUTHLER, John BURGESS, Eric ENDERTON, Nikhil DIXIT, Josh NOEL

Patent number: 10834106Abstract: A method may include a processing system assigning samples of network traffic data to positions in a list, where each of the samples is assigned a cluster identifier corresponding to the respective position, and traversing the list, where for each position, the processing system: increments an order indicator, and when the cluster identifier is not less than the order indicator, computes a distance between a sample assigned to the position and other samples, records a cluster identifier of another sample when a distance between the sample and the other sample is less than a threshold distance, and assigns a minimum cluster identifier that is recorded to all of the samples with cluster identifiers that are recorded. The processing system may determine clusters from cluster identifiers in the list after the traversing and identify at least one cluster as representing anomalous network traffic data.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Yaron Koral, Rensheng Wang Zhang, Eric Noel, Patrick Velardo, Jr., Swapna Buccapatnam Tirumala
