Abstract: Techniques are described for providing graphics functionality. In a first partition, a software interface comprising graphics capabilities that are abstracted from capabilities of the graphics accelerator device is loaded. In a second partition loading, a graphics capturing and rendering process is loaded. The software interface on the first partition receives a request to render graphics. The request is based on the abstracted graphics capabilities. The graphics capturing and rendering process renders the requested graphics on the second partition. The abstracted graphics capabilities are effectuated in accordance with the capabilities of the graphics accelerator device. The capturing process executing on the second partition provides the rendered graphics to the first partition.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for virtualizing a graphics accelerator such as a GPU. In one embodiment, a GPU can be paravirtualized. Rather than modeling a complete hardware GPU, paravirtualization may provide for an abstracted software-only GPU that presents a software interface different from that of the underlying hardware. By providing a paravirtualized GPU, a virtual machine may enable a rich user experience with, for example, accelerated 3D rendering and multimedia, without the need for the virtual machine to be associated with a particular GPU product.

Abstract: A device for blending materials and a bag for use in such devices. The device has at least one paddle for acting on a sample and a carrier against which a sample may be crushed by the paddle. The device is arranged to allow adjustment of the spacing between the paddle and carrier during operation. The bag is suitable for use in such a device but can be used in other devices.

Abstract: A device is described for locating the positions of impact of projectiles as they strike a target by detecting the pressure or force delivered upon impact. A sensor layer is made of resistive ink applied to a non-conductive material. An electrical current is applied to the resistive ink layer, and when the force of impact from the projectile acts upon the sensor layer a change in impedance is measured via standard circuits and electronics. The magnitude of the impact force can also be correlated to the magnitude of the resulting change in impedance. The resistive ink layer can be divided into smaller sections to provide location data to the output electronics. Each section of the sensor layer connects to the output electronics via sensor connectors made from either conductive inks or standard wires. Output electronics connect to a standard display device. A pressure transfer layer may be present in front of the sensor layer when the projectile has a higher velocity.
