Google Patents a Faster Probability Model Init for Video Compression
Every time a video codec starts encoding a new frame, it needs a statistical 'best guess' about what the image data will…
Google Patents a Smarter Probability Model Selection System for Video Compression
Every time you stream a video, a codec is making thousands of statistical guesses per frame. Google's new patent tries to make…
Google Patents a Side Sideband Interface for Flexible Die-to-Die Chip Communication
As chips get built from multiple smaller dies stacked or tiled together, getting those dies to talk to each other reliably —…
Google Patents a Flux-Based Readout System for Superconducting Qubits
Reading out a qubit's state without wrecking it is one of quantum computing's hardest plumbing problems. Google's new patent proposes using a…
Google Patents a Smarter Prediction Scheme for 3D Mesh Compression
3D meshes are made of millions of tiny triangles, and compressing them efficiently means guessing vertex positions as accurately as possible before…
Google Patents a Stacked Membrane Method for Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tests
Google has quietly filed a patent covering how to manufacture the layered membrane strips inside point-of-care diagnostic tests — the kind of…
Microsoft Patents a Way to Build FPGA Barrel-Shifters Using DSP Multipliers
FPGAs are incredibly flexible chips, but their internal resources aren't all created equal — and Microsoft has filed a patent to stop…
Microsoft Patents a Distributed Antialiasing Engine for Smoother Cloud-Streamed Graphics
Jagged edges are the telltale sign of a game or app running on someone else's hardware. Microsoft's new patent proposes splitting the…
Microsoft Patents an Automated Template System for Chip Interposer Layout Design
Designing the silicon "bridge" that connects multiple chips in a modern processor package is painstaking, repetitive work. Microsoft's new patent describes a…
