Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the stereoscopic display of a scene on a grid of picture elements (pixels), based on several views that are combined according to a combination rule to form a combination image. The combination image contains only selected parts or pixels of each view. Furthermore, propagation directions are fixed, which make it possible for a viewer to see in the combination image a different selection of views with his left eye than with his right eye, which results in a visual impression of space.

The determination of the bits of color information is performed with the aid of a relief card Z(x,y).

Abstract: Aspects include, for example, a method for interpreting information in a computer program, or profiling such a program to estimate a group size for instances of that program (program module, or portion thereof). Such a method can be used in a system that supports collecting outputs of executing instances, where those outputs can specify new program instances. Scheduling of new instances (or allocation of resources for executing such instances) can be deferred. A trigger to begin scheduling (or allocation) for a collection of instances uses a target group size for that program. Thus, different programs can have different group sizes, which can be set explicitly, or based on profiling. The profiling can occur during one or more of pre-execution and during execution. The group size estimate can be an input into an algorithm that also accounts for system state during execution.

The invention provides also a reliable and valid method to detect fraudulent neck compensation claims from genuine deficits by said assessment of sensorimotor function.

Abstract: A machine-implemented display method that, with respect to a volume dataset being rendered, enables a user to navigate to any position in space and look in any direction. Preferably, the volume dataset is derived from a computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (RMI) scan.

In one example, the method and apparatus divides a frame into regions and sends the divided regions of the frame from a display data transmitter, e.g., a processor such as a graphic processing unit (GPU), to a display data receiver, e.g., a timing controller (TCON).

The method and apparatus then, in one example, only resends those altered regions from the display data transmitter to the display data receiver to redress the alteration.
