Nvidia Patents a Neural Network System for Upscaling 3D Texture Maps
Nvidia wants to let neural networks do the heavy lifting of generating high-resolution textures — starting from a cheaper, low-res version and…
Every patent we've covered
All Big Tech patents
Every Big Tech filing we've broken down, newest first. We read what the major companies publish and cover the ones worth knowing, in plain English.
Nvidia Patents an API That Stores Compressed Video With Its Own Decompression Instructions
Nvidia is patenting a way for a GPU to store compressed video data together with a built-in recipe for how to decompress…
Geometric Fabrics Enable Smarter Robot Grasping
Getting a robot to reliably pick up a real object — without fumbling, crashing into it, or giving up — is one…
Nvidia Patents a Self-Curating Synthetic Data Loop for Stereo Vision Models
Training a depth-sensing AI normally requires mountains of carefully labeled real-world images — a slow, expensive process. Nvidia's new patent describes a…
Nvidia Patents a Priority-Aware CAN Bus Authentication System for Autonomous Vehicles
Every sensor reading, brake command, and steering input in an autonomous vehicle travels over a CAN bus — a decades-old network protocol…
Nvidia Patents a Pipeline for Building 3D Digital Humans From Everyday 2D Photos
Training a 3D digital human model normally requires expensive, controlled capture setups — but Nvidia's new patent describes a way to do…
Nvidia Patents a Memory-Driven 3D Scene Reconstruction System for Self-Driving Cars
What if your self-driving car could remember what a street looked like last Tuesday — and use that memory to fill in…
Tesla Patents a Parallel 2D Matrix Processor for Accelerated AI Image Math
Tesla is patenting the math engine at the heart of neural network image processing — a two-dimensional matrix processor designed to run…
Haptic Buttons That Calibrate Themselves Could Replace Traditional Car Controls
Tesla has patented a haptic control system where the same motor that gives you tactile feedback can also turn around and test…
Zoox Patents a System Where Robo-Taxis Cross-Check Each Other's Position
What if two self-driving cars could look at each other, compare notes on where they think they are, and use that conversation…
