International Classification:

H04M 1/00

US Classification:

4555621, 455101, 375299

Abstract:

A system and method for selecting a best transmit antenna for a transceiver using antenna diversity that caches the identity of the best transmit antenna for each remote node from which a message has been received. The best transmit antenna is then selected for each message sent to a remote node having a cache entry.

US Classification:

345620, 345623, 345624

Abstract:

A distributed clipping scheme is provided, view frustum culling is distributed in several places in a graphics processing pipeline to simplify hardware implementation and improve performance. In general, many 3D objects are outside viewing frustum. In one embodiment, clipping is performed on these objects with a simple algorithm in the PA module, such as near Z clipping, trivial rejection and trivial acceptance. In one embodiment, the SE and RA modules perform the rest of clipping, such as X, Y and far Z clipping. In one embodiment, the SE module performs clipping by way of computing a initial point of rasterization. In one embodiment, the RA module performs clipping by way of conducting the rendering step of the rasterization process. This approach distributes the complexity in the graphics processing pipeline and makes the design simpler and faster, therefore design complexity, cost and performance may all be improved in hardware implementation.

International Classification:

G06T 15/00
G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345419, 345621

Abstract:

A hierarchical tile-based rasterization method is disclosed. The inventive rasterization algorithm rasterizes pixels in hierarchical rectangles or blocks. The method includes: walking a plurality of tiles of pixels and determining if each tile is valid; breaking each valid tile into a plurality of subtiles and determining if each subtile is valid; breaking each valid subtile into a plurality of quads and determining if each quad is valid; and rendering pixels for each valid quad. These hierarchical levels of block validations are performed in parallel. The inventive rasterization algorithm is further implemented in hardware for better performance.

US Classification:

370261, 370263, 370392, 370432

Abstract:

Techniques are provided herein to add multicast media streams to teleconferencing sessions without the unwanted side effects that occur when a speaker's own media is echoed back to the speaker. Multicast and unicast media streams are generated by a network device, e. g. , a conference bridge, and distributed to any number of endpoints, e. g. , conference endpoints. A media selector is provided that selects the appropriate multicast or unicast media stream for forwarding to an associated network endpoint.
