  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING MICROBIAL AND/OR VIRAL LOADS ON EQUIPMENT USING OZONE
    Publication number: 20210330840
    Abstract: A system for reducing a microbial and/or viral load on equipment using ozone includes a container including having an open configuration to provide access to an interior of the container and a closed configuration to seal the interior from an environment external the container, and wherein the interior includes a receptive region to receive the equipment, a circulation fan positioned in the interior of the container, and one or more ozone generators positioned in the interior of the container and configured to generate ozone upon activation, wherein the circulation fan is configured to provide an airflow including ozone generated by the one or more ozone generators and directed along a flowpath extending into the receptive region of the interior of the container.

  • Backface culling for motion blur and depth of field
    Patent number: 8587585
    Abstract: In order to efficiently backface cull rendering primitives during computer graphics rendering, it is important to be sure that the rendering primitives to be culled are guaranteed to be backfacing even if the primitives are moving or are undergoing defocus blur. Therefore, we derive conservative tests that determine if a moving and defocused triangle is backfacing over an entire time interval and over the area of a lens. In addition, we present tests for the special cases of only motion blur and only depth of field.
