Abstract: Ray tracing hardware accelerators supporting multiple specifiers for controlling the traversal of a ray tracing acceleration data structure are disclosed. For example, traversal efficiency and complex ray tracing effects can be achieved by specifying traversals through such data structures using both programmable ray operations and explicit node masking. The explicit node masking utilizes dedicated fields in the ray and in nodes of the acceleration data structure to control traversals. Ray operations, however, are programmable per ray using opcodes and additional parameters to control traversals. Traversal efficiency is improved by enabling more aggressive culling of parts of the data structure based on the combination of explicit node masking and programmable ray operations. More complex ray tracing effects are enabled by providing for dynamic selection of nodes based on individual ray characteristics.
Abstract: The present invention relates to the administration of heparin or its derivatives, which are anticoagulant, especially low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in the treatment of especially COVID-19, viral lung diseases, acute and/or chronic lung diseases by means of soft mist inhaler or vibrating mesh technology (VMT) nebulizer through inhalation route. In the present invention, heparin and its derivatives may be administered by means of the passive vibrating mesh nebulizer or active vibrating mesh nebulizer. Anticoagulant heparin or its derivatives reach the lungs efficiently and quickly, and local pulmonary administration is performed such that it provides an effective treatment. Since the drug is targeted directly to the lungs without getting into systemic circulation via local (direct) administration, its concentration is higher at the application region, thereby reducing the side effects and costs per application of the drug, and increasing its efficacy.
