  • Patent number: 8063901
    Abstract: In response to a request from a client, a server for volume rendering loads a volume dataset from a storage archive, creates a low resolution sub-sampled copy of such volume dataset and transmits it to a client. In response to subsequent requests from the client, the server for volume rendering renders a high quality image of the full resolution volume dataset and renders a low quality image of the sub-sampled copy of the volume dataset, then generates a pixel mask or a hybrid pixel mask indicative of a difference between the high quality image and the low quality image and transmits such pixel mask to the client. The client receives from the server the pixel mask and computes a high quality image based at least in part on the pixel mask and on a selective rendering of its local low resolution sub-sampled copy of the volume dataset.

  • Publication number: 20110266188
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for compressing woven material or other compressible material, such as, but not limited to, a comforter set or bedding set. The bedding set or other woven material is placed into a reclosable storage bag through the open bottom thereof. The bag is compressed by a compression apparatus and the open bottom of the storage bag is sealed shut. The result is a package with reduced volume, which reduces shipping and display costs, and is more aesthetically attractive to the consumer.
