Abstract: A method for volume ray casting is provided. For each pixel of a 2D image placed in a view plane a ray of sight is projected through a volume determined by a plurality of voxels of a volumetric dataset indicative of an object. A plurality of sampling points is determined along each ray of sight such that a distance between two consecutive sampling points is larger at a larger distance to the view plane. At each sampling point a color value and a transparency value is determined in dependence upon voxels in proximity of the sampling point and a lighting calculation, wherein for the lighting calculation a first lighting model and a second lighting model are used in dependence upon a distance of the sampling point to the view plane. For each ray of sight a final color value is determined by compositing along the ray the color values and the transparency values. The final color value of each ray corresponds to a pixel value of the 2D image.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing remote access to an application program. A server remote access program may cooperate with display data interception application to provide display data to a client computing device. The client computing device may connect to the application at a Uniform Resourced Locator (URL) using a client remote access application to receive the display data. The client remote access application may provide user inputs, received at the client computing device, to the application to affect the state of the application.

Abstract: A method and system for providing remote access to data for display on a client computer via a computer network is provided. A first and second server computer connected to a computer network execute a first and second server remote access program, respectively, for communicating with an associated first and second application program. The client computer, which is also connected to the computer network, executes a client remote access program for simultaneously communicating with the first and second server remote access programs via a first and second communication link. The first and second server remote access programs determine first and second presentation data indicative of an application state of the first and second application programs. The client remote access program receives the first and the second presentation data and determines display data in dependence thereupon for substantially simultaneously displaying the first and the second presentation data.

Abstract: A method and system for accessing a data file is provided. At a server computer a request for accessing a data file of a plurality of data files stored in a database is received. The server computer is connected to the database via a first communication link and a second communication link. Metadata associated with the data file in the database are accessed via the first communication link using a first query protocol. In dependence upon the metadata the data file is located in the database. At least a portion of data stored in the data file is then accessed in the database via the second communication link using a second query protocol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for processing multi-dimensional signal data to determine frequency dependent features therefrom. The multi-dimensional signal data are transformed into space-frequency or time-space-frequency domain, providing second signal data. At predetermined locations of at least a portion of the one of space and time-space of the second signal data a dominant feature corresponding to a largest value of the second signal data is determined. This is followed by the determination of a wave-vector corresponding to the dominant feature at each of the predetermined locations. Finally, a dip map, a frequency map, and an amplitude map are generated using the wave-vectors.

Abstract: A method for simultaneously interacting with a plurality of application programs is provided. Using a processor an application interaction program having a plurality of application programs associated therewith is executed. Interactive functionalities of the plurality of application programs are associated with respective interaction zones. An interactive functionality being a same for at least two application programs is associated with a single interaction zone. Display data indicative of a single user interface comprising the interaction zones are then generated. The interaction zones enable user interaction with the plurality of application programs. Using a graphical display connected to the processor the display data are displayed in a human comprehensible fashion.
