  • Patent number: 11954420
    Abstract: System and methods for displaying one or more assets on a client device based on device characteristics are provided. Code is transmitted to a client device. The code, when executed by the client device, causes a processor of the client device to determine a first device characteristic of the client device. A first layout may be selected based on the first device characteristic. The layout may include one or more cards. Each card may correspond to one or more assets. Each card may be modified based on a corresponding card characteristic. One or more assets may be requested. The assets may be displayed on the first client device. The code may be transmitted to another client device, which may select a different layout based on a different device characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20240037838
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to generate blue noise masks for real-time image rendering and enhancement. In at least one embodiment, a vector-valued noise mask is generated and applied to one or more images to generate one or more enhanced images for image processing (e.g., real-time image rendering). In at least one embodiment, the noise mask includes vector values per pixel and is able to handle the temporal domain (e.g., add time to the spatial domain) to improve image quality when rendering images over multiple frames.

  • Publication number: 20070036255
    Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of synchronizing data streams from data acquisition processors. The system and method utilizes a common signal to data acquisition processors to trigger a measuring of the data sampling signal. These measurements are averaged and compared to an expected phase, whereby either of the data acquisition processor's data delivery rate are adjusted if the compound shows a difference greater than a maximum drift rate.

  • Patent number: 6939014
    Abstract: An optical filter includes an array of light-transmissive beads in a matrix of light absorbing binder that surrounds one portion of the beads to provide light entrances and exit apertures for incident light to pass substantially only through the beads. A transparent layer under the light absorbing layer may serve to increase the diameter of the exit apertures. A structure or layer of light-dispersing material that exhibits anisotropic dispersion of incident light along orthogonal axes is disposed relative to the beads to disperse light within a wider output angle along one of the orthogonal axes than along another of the orthogonal axes.
