US Patent:

7124888, Oct 24, 2006

Filed:

Apr 19, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/109032

Inventors:

Leonard Victor Valdez - Renton WA, US
Michael Wayne Larson - Seattle WA, US
Stephen Anthony Krippner - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

A63B 55/00
A63B 57/00

US Classification:

2063154, 2063153, 2063155, 150159

Abstract:

A golf bag rain cover is used to cover a club opening of a golf bag so that the golfer's clubs can remain as dry as possible during play. The golf bag rain cover may comprise a one-piece shell being constructed of a water-resistant material which is held in a bonnet shape over the club opening by several extensible rods. The golfer simply reaches up and under the shell to retrieve or replace clubs. In alternate embodiments, the deployment of the rain cover can be adjusted to allow more or easier access to the clubs. Also in alternate embodiments, the rain cover may be stowed in a stowage element integral with the golf bag.

US Classification:

294 92, 294 991

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to self-orienting object-grasping devices that facilitate grasping and raising of objects by individuals. Certain embodiments of the present invention are directed to self-orienting golf-flagpole-retrieving devices that are affixed to flagpoles to allow a golf player to raise the flagpole, using a golf club or similar object, to a height convenient for grasping the flagpole by a golf player.

Filed:

Mar 21, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/052436

Inventors:

Michael K. Larson - Kirkland WA, US

Assignee:

APPLE INC. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06T 1/00

US Classification:

345522

Abstract:

According to one aspect of the invention, a query request is received from a client application at a multithreaded graphics framework. The multithreaded graphics framework including a first thread configured to place graphics commands from the client application into a command queue and a second thread configured to dispatch the graphics commands from the command queue to a graphics processing unit (GPU) for execution. In response to the query request, the first thread is configured to store query information of the query request in a query block of memory that is separated from the command queue and notifying the second thread. In response to the notification, the second thread is configured to issue a query command to the GPU based on the query information retrieved from the query block, prior to dispatching remaining graphics commands pending in the command queue.

Filed:

Nov 12, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/968309

Inventors:

Michael K. Larson - Kirkland WA

Assignee:

S3 Incorporated - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

345501

Abstract:

A graphics system includes a graphics processor for rendering graphics primitives with a list of display parameters. A host processor generates a display list which includes a XY address for rendering the graphics primitives. A graphics processor which includes internal fetch and store static random access memory (SRAM)devices for storing pixel fetched from an external memory device and processed in the graphics processor respectively. The graphics processor also includes selective pixel data fillers for writing either X or Y position pixel data to the internal SRAM devices. By selectively storing either X or Y position pixel data, the graphics processor is able to perform bit-block data transfers (blts) of pixel data to the internal SRAM thereby efficiently utilizing the local bandwidth of the internal SRAM.

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

345511

Abstract:

A graphics system includes a graphics processor for rendering graphics primitives with a list of display parameters. A host processor generates a display list which includes a XY address for rendering the graphics primitives. A graphics processor which includes internal fetch and store static random access memory (SRAM)devices for storing pixel fetched from an external memory device and processed in the graphics processor respectively. The graphics processor also includes a pixel data striping control logic which determines whether fetch and store requests by the graphics processor crosses an X boundary in the internal SRAM devices. If a fetch or store request crosses an X boundary, the memory control logic stripes the access into separate blocks of pixel data for each access which are then simultaneously accessed during a single data request cycle. By striping pixel data accessed, the graphics processor is able to execute a single pixel dat request without crossing a X boundary even if the original pixel data being accessed spans multiple tiles in the memory device.

Appl. No.:

9/346420

Inventors:

Michael K. Larson - Kirkland WA
Tom C. Martyn - Seattle WA

Assignee:

Appian Graphics Corp. - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345213

Abstract:

A multi-monitor computer system (10) includes a configuration address space (40) for software driven initialization and configuration. A monitor synchronization method (50) of this invention includes temporarily remapping multiple graphics chips (14, 18) to a same base address (46) so that attempts to write to a memory mapped register on one of the graphics chips, also writes the same register on the other graphics chips. Once the addresses are remapped, writing chip enabling data to an enabling register on one of the graphics chips causes enabling data to be written to all graphics chips at the same time, thereby synchronizing the vertical and horizontal sync signals generated by the graphics chips. Finally, remapping the graphics chips to their original base memory addresses allows the computer system to resume selective addressing of the graphics chips, which now provide synchronized vertical and horizontal sync signals to their respective monitors.

Inventors:

Michael Larson - Kirkland WA

Assignee:

S3 Incorporated - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

345522

Abstract:

A graphics system includes a graphics processor for rendering graphics primitives with a display list. A host processor generates a display list which includes a command format for loading the display list into a register file. The graphics processor includes logic to encode and decode the command register to sequentially load the display list into the register file without a physical reference to the register being loaded. The command register may also be programmed to allow the graphics processor to randomly load the register file thereby shortening the processing of the display list and allowing the display list to be written during a burst cycle mode of bus operation.
