Publication number: 20240137044Abstract: A data compression method comprises encoding groups of data items by generating, for each group, header data comprising h-bits and a plurality of body portions each comprising b-bits and each body portion corresponding to a data item in the group. The value of h may be fixed for all groups and the value of b is fixed within a group, wherein the header data for a group comprises an indication of b for the body portions of that group. In various examples, b=0 and so there are no body portions. In examples where b is not equal to zero, a body data field is generated for each group by interleaving bits from the body portions corresponding to data items in the group. The resultant encoded data block, comprising the header data and, where present, the body data field can be written to memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Simon Fenney, Greg Clark, Alan Vines

Publication number: 20220068008Abstract: A system and method for coherency gathering for rays in a ray tracing system. The ray tracing system uses a hierarchical acceleration structure comprising a plurality of nodes including upper level nodes and lower level nodes. For each instance where one of the lower level nodes is a child of one of the upper level nodes, an instance transform is defined, specifying the relationship between a first coordinate system of the upper level node and the second coordinate system for that instance of the lower level node. The system provides an instance transform cache for storing a plurality of these instance transforms while conducting intersection testing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Michael John Livesley, Greg Clark

Patent number: 11177937Abstract: An apparatus has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to compute computer network activity reputation attributes for a digital identity. The digital identity has identity attributes different than identity attributes associated with a real individual utilizing the digital identity for computer network activity. The storage of the computer network activity reputation attributes for the digital identity is coordinated within a block chain system distributed across a block chain network of computers. Computer network activity reputation attributes for the digital identity are supplied in response to a request from a machine. The computer network activity reputation attributes are communicated over a network of computers to the machine.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: ANONYOME LABS, INC.Inventors: Steven Harvey McCown, Paul Ashley, Matthew Poulton, John D.

Patent number: 11159578Abstract: A machine has a network interface circuit to provide connectivity to networked machines. A processor is connected to the network interface circuit. A memory is connected to the processor and the network interface circuit. The memory stores cryptographically protected data, an identity management contract and identity stewards specifying individuals to administer the identity management contract. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to receive a request to identify a legal identity for a digital identity, collect from certain networked machines, via the network interface circuit, consent from the identity stewards, where the consent includes cryptographic identity packets. The cryptographic identity packets are combined to render the legal identity for the digital identity. Transaction data specifying the legal identity for the digital identity is supplied. The transaction data is recorded to a distributed ledger associated with at least a subset of the networked machines.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: ANONYOME LABS, INC.Inventors: Steven Harvey McCown, Paul Ashley, John David Mumford, Greg Clark
