Abstract: A technique for performing ray tracing operations is provided. The technique includes receiving a ray for an intersection test, testing the ray against boxes specified in a bounding volume hierarchy to eliminate one or more boxes or triangles from consideration, unpacking a triangle from a compressed triangle block of the bounding volume hierarchy, the compressed triangle block including two or more triangles that share at least one vertex, and testing the ray for intersection against at least one of the unpacked triangles.

The first chip includes a first substrate, an interlayer insulating layer disposed between the first substrate and the second chip, first interconnection lines disposed in the interlayer insulating layer, a conductive pad disposed in the pad region between the second chip and the first interconnection lines, and a recess region formed in the pad region that penetrates the first substrate and the interlayer insulating layer and exposes the conductive pad.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for improving the effectiveness of depth culling. In a first technique, a binner is used to sort primitives into depth bins. Each depth bin covers a range of depths. The binner transmits the depth bins to the screen space pipeline for processing in near-to-far order. Processing the near bins first results in the depth buffer being updated, allowing fragments for the primitives in the farther bins to be culled more aggressively than if the depth binning did not occur. In a second technique, a buffer is used to initiate two-pass processing through the screen space pipeline. In the first pass, primitives are sent down to update the depth block and are then culled. The fragments are processed normally in the second pass, with the benefit of the updated depth values.

Abstract: Techniques for performing ray tracing operations are provided. The techniques include identifying bounding-box-surface-area-weighted centroid of a group of primitives associated with a bounding box of a bounding volume hierarchy (“BVH”); generating candidate splits at the centroid, the candidate splits defining geometry subgroups; identifying a candidate split having a lowest surface area bounding box; and generating nodes for the BVH that include geometry of the geometry subgroups of the identified candidate split.

Abstract: A processor dynamically selects a render mode for each render pass of a frame based on the characteristics of the render pass. A software driver of the processor receives graphics operations from an application executing at the processor and converts the graphics operations into a command stream that is provided to the graphics pipeline. As the driver converts the graphics operations into the command stream, the driver analyzes each render pass of the frame to determine characteristics of the render passes, and selects a render mode for each render pass based on the characteristics of the render pass.

Abstract: A display device and a haptic feedback method having the same provide a display panel which displays an image, a cover window on a first surface of the display panel and including a tactile pattern, and an actuator which is disposed on a second surface opposite the first surface of the display panel and overlaps the tactile pattern in a width direction of the display panel. The actuator outputs a sensing voltage according to applied pressure and generates vibrations according to applied driving voltages.

Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel including a plurality of pixels; a layer disposed on one surface of the display panel and including a substantially flat member to induce a magnetic field; and a support spaced apart from the display panel with the layer interposed therebetween and having a fixed magnetic field generation member disposed therein.

Abstract: A timer for processing data blocks is proposed for a receiver of a mobile communications system. If the timer is not running, the timer is started based a data block. The data block has a sequence number higher than a sequence number of another data block that was first expected to be received. If the timer is stopped or expires, the timer is based on a highest sequence number of a data block among data blocks that cannot be delivered to a higher entity. The timer can be used to prevent a stall condition in mobile communications.

Abstract: A compute unit accesses a chunk of bits that represent indices of vertices of a graphics primitive. The compute unit sets values of a first bit to indicate whether the chunk is monotonic or ordinary, second bits to define an offset that is determined based on values of indices in the chunk, and sets of third bits that determine values of the indices in the chunk based on the offset defined by the second bits. The compute unit writes a compressed chunk represented by the first bit, the second bits, and the sets of third bits to a memory. The compressed chunk is decompressed and the decompressed indices are written to an index buffer. In some embodiments, the indices are decompressed based on metadata that includes offsets that are determined based on values of the indices and bitfields that indicate characteristics of the indices.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an injectable anticancer composition for local administration, which contains a suspension of quinine hydrochloride. The anticancer composition for local administration according to the present invention shows an IC50 value against MKN-45 cells, which is about 10 times lower than Paclitaxel, as determined by an MTT assay in vitro, suggesting that the anticancer composition has an excellent cytotoxic effect. The anticancer composition can be administered as a safe anticancer agent in clinical applications, and also shows an anticancer effect by inducing the necrosis and detachment of solid cancer cells. Particularly, the anticancer composition has an anticancer mechanism by which the composition acts locally in a tumor tissue administered with the composition and shows a rapid antitumor effect (1-2 weeks after administration).
