Publication number: 20240135626Abstract: A method, computer system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for performing primitive batch binning are disclosed. The method, computer system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium include techniques for generating a primitive batch from a plurality of primitives, computing respective bin intercepts for each of the plurality of primitives in the primitive batch, and shading the primitive batch by iteratively processing each of the respective bin intercepts computed until all of the respective bin intercepts are processed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2024Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicants: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Michael Mantor, Laurent Lefebvre, Mark Fowler, Timothy Kelley, Mikko Alho, Mika Tuomi, Kiia Kallio, Patrick Klas Rudolf Buss, Jari Antero Komppa, Kaj Tuomi

Patent number: 11954782Abstract: A method, system, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for rasterizing primitives are disclosed. The method, system, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes: generating a primitive batch from a sequence of one or more primitives, wherein the primitive batch includes primitives sorted into one or more row groups based on which row of a plurality of rows each primitive intersects; and processing each row group, the processing for each row group including: identifying one or more primitive column intercepts for each of the one or more primitives in the row group, wherein each combination of primitive column intercept and row identifies a bin; and rasterizing the one or more primitives that intersect the bin.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignees: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Michael Mantor, Laurent Lefebvre, Mikko Alho, Mika Tuomi, Kiia Kallio

Patent number: 11251168Abstract: Over a flexible substrate are deposited stacked pixel layers including a bottom layer of LEDs forming blue pixels, a middle layer of LEDs forming green pixels, and a top layer of LEDs forming red pixels. Each LED die comprises an LED portion and an integrated transistor portion. Applying a voltage to a control terminal of the transistor portion energizes the LED portion. The pixels are substantially transparent, due to the LEDs being microscopic and the pixel areas being much larger, to allow light from the underlying layers to pass through. The three layers of pixels are aligned so that a combination of a single top red pixel, a single underlying green pixel, and a single underlying blue pixel form a single multi-color pixel. The different layers have transparent column and row lines.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: NthDegree Technologies Worldwide Inc.Inventors: William Johnstone Ray, Michael LeFebvre, Darin Wagner, Richard A.

Patent number: 11110291Abstract: An oral treatment device that emits electromagnetic radiation onto surfaces of a user's teeth. The oral treatment device may include an intraoral mouthpiece and a handle extending therefrom, the handle containing the control circuitry required for operation of the device. The mouthpiece may include a lamp support structure, a lamp, a lens plate, and a guard component. The lamp may include an electromagnetic radiation source that includes a flexible sheet and a plurality of illumination elements located thereon. The illumination elements may be light emitting diodes printed with an electrically conductive. Additional electronic components such as a processor and a power source may also be included in the device.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2018Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Colgate-Palmolive CompanyInventors: Brian Bloch, Michael Lefebvre
