  • Patent number: 10572207
    Abstract: A method provides a graphical interface for a computer system and includes receiving window information from each domain of multiple domains in which applications execute. Based on the received window information, the method builds the graphical interface on a graphics device of the computer system from graphics data provided from the multiple domains to the graphics device. The graphics device includes a GPU and graphics memory having multiple graphics memory portions, where each domain is dedicated a respective different graphics memory portion and is given write access thereto. The building issues commands to the graphics device that instruct the GPU to composition together graphics data from graphics memory portion(s) to thereby composition together graphics data from each of two of more domains of the multiple domains. The method also includes issuing commands to the graphics device to output the graphical interface to a set of one or more display devices.

  • Patent number: 10545004
    Abstract: A bullet casing capturing assembly includes a wire that has a sequence of bends thereon to define a handle portion of the wire and a sock portion of the wire. The sock portion is positioned above and is laterally offset with the handle portion. The handle portion engages a handle of a semi-automatic firearm thereby facilitating the sock portion to be aligned with an ejection slot of the semi-automatic firearm. In this way the sock portion is aligned with a trajectory of bullet casings is ejected from the ejection slot. A sock is removably coupled to the sock portion of the wire to capture the bullet casings being ejected from the ejection slot.
