Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention includes a technique for distributing work slices associated with a graphics processing unit for processing. A primitive distribution system receives a draw command related to a graphics object associated with a plurality of indices. The primitive distribution system creates a plurality of work slices, where each work slice is associated with a different subset of the indices included in the plurality of indices. The primitive distribution system scans a first subset of indices to identify a first set of characteristics that is needed to process a second subset of indices. The primitive distribution system processes the second subset of indices based at least in part on the one or more characteristics.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing a competitor's patent activity data is presented. The system may comprise one or more processors, a search module, a categorization module, a grouping module, and an analysis module, where each of the components of the system are communicating with one another in a networked system environment. The one or more processors may be in communication with a plurality of databases, where the plurality of databases include a patent database, a client database, and a competitor database. The competitor's activity data is compared to that of the client's to segment the competitor's activity and set priority to certain categories of the segmented competitor's activity data. The presented system monitors the competitor's patenting activity.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides system and method for searching and analyzing information from a database based on a plurality of subject features. The system generates a list of relevant search results in a particular order and provides relevant excerpts from each of the search results in relation to each of the subject features, along with the association that represents the overlap between searched excerpt and the corresponding subject feature. The system may include a search report generator device that comprises a search module, a feature generation module, an analysis module, a ranking module, and a report generation module.
