Patent number: 8206218Abstract: A 3D videogame system capable of displaying a left-right sequences through a different, independent VGA or video channel, with a display device sharing a memory in an immerse manner. The system has a videogame engine controlling and validating the image perspectives, assigning textures, lighting, positions, movements and aspects associated with each object participating in the game; creates left and right backbuffers, creates images and presents the information in the frontbuffers. The system allows handling the information of data associated to the xyz coordinates of the object's image in real-time, increases the RAM for the left-right backbuffer, with the possibility to discriminate and take the corresponding backbuffer, whose information is sent to the frontbuffer or additional independent display device sharing a memory in an immerse manner.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: TDVision Corporation S.A. De C.V.Inventor: Manuel Rafael Gutierrez Novelo

Patent number: 8023238Abstract: A universal trip unit for use with a circuit breaker apparatus is provided and includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a personality module of the circuit breaker apparatus and to thereby receive key breaker personality parameters that relate to operational characteristics of the circuit breaker apparatus, and a controller. The controller includes a memory on which a universal register, previously stored key parameters and the received key breaker personality parameters are stored, the controller being configured to control the communication unit to receive the key breaker personality parameters in accordance with information determined from the universal register, and components to execute trip protection when at least one of a current and a voltage Within the circuit breaker apparatus exceeds a respective predetermined threshold as defined by the previously stored key parameters and the received key breaker personality parameters.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2008Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Nataniel Barbosa Vicente, Marcelo Esteban Valdes, Rafael Gutierrez, Jr.

Publication number: 20100271462Abstract: Described herein is a MPEG-2 compatible stereoscopic 3D-video image digital decoding method and system. In order to obtain 3D-images from a digital video stream, modifications are made to the current MPEG2 decoders, by means of software and hardware changes in different parts of the decoding process. Namely, the video_sequence structures of the video data stream are modified via software to include the necessary flags at the bit level of the image type in the TDVisionĀ® technology. Modifications are also made in the decoding processes as well as in decoding the information via software and hardware, wherein a double output buffer is activated, a parallel and difference decoding selector is activated, the decompression process is executed, the corresponding output buffer is displayed; and the decoder is programmed via software to simultaneously receive and decode two independent program streams, each with an TDVisionĀ® stereoscopic identifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2010Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: TD VISION CORPORATION S.A. DE C.V.Inventor: Manuel Rafael Gutierrez Novelo

Publication number: 20100271463Abstract: In order to obtain three-dimensional images from a digital video stream, certain modifications have been made to the current MPEG2 coders; software and hardware changes in different parts of the coding process are made. In effect, the structures and the video_sequence of the video data stream are modified to include the necessary flags to identify at the bit level the TDVisionĀ® technology image type.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2010Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: TD VISION CORPORATION S.A. DE C.V.Inventor: Manuel Rafael Gutierrez Novelo
