A driver information feedback and display system is disclosed. The architecture of the system includes a controller (30), a channel / window manager (10), and front and rear image capture units (11-13). The system can be further incorporated with a speed recorder (40), a backing sensor (50), or a GPS unit (60). When a vehicle enters an intersection from a narrow alley, the left and right image capture units (11,12) installed at the nose of the vehicle will be activated for scanning road conditions on the main road in both directions, thereby eliminating the need for the driver to strain to see the traffic situation or pulling out the car half way. The speed recorder (40) can be used for detection of low speed and activation of left and right image capture units (11, 12). The present system can effectively minimize the chance of vehicle collisions.

A method and system for rendering a desktop on a computer using a composited desktop model operating system are disclosed. A composited desktop window manager, upon receiving content information from application programs, draws the window to a buffer memory for future reference, and takes advantage of advanced graphics hardware and visual effects to render windows based on content on which they are drawn. The windows may also be rendered based on environment variables including virtual light sources. The frame portion of each window may be generated by pixel shading a bitmap having the appearance of frosted glass based on the content of the desktop on top of which the frame is displayed. Legacy support is provided so that the operating system can draw and render windows generated by legacy applications to look consistent with non-legacy application windows.

A method and system for rendering a desktop on a computer using a composited desktop model operating system are provided. A composited desktop window manager, upon receiving base object and content object information for one or more content objects from an application program, draws the window to a buffer memory, and takes advantage of advanced graphics hardware and visual effects to render windows based on content on which they are drawn. The frame portion of each window may be generated by pixel shading a bitmap having the appearance of frosted glass based on the content of the desktop on top of which the frame is displayed.

The invention discloses a multi-window managing system and a method used for an embedded system. The system comprises an information processing module for carrying out front-end operation used for processing the user information and outputting the change information of a window basic module area in a dirty area queue way, and a picture refresh module for carrying out back-end operation used for analyzing the transmitted dirty area queue and transmitting newest module area information to a screen display buffer area to complete display refresh. As the invention adopts a layered refresh method and an optimized dirty area queue algorithm to minimize the refresh operation calculation and supports a window junk collector, the invention has higher efficiency; and as a double-buffer display mechanism is adopted, the splash problem in picture refresh is avoided; therefore, the invention has better display effect.

The invention relates to a high repetition frequency jamming-resistant laser encoding method. Due to the threat of high repetition frequency laser active jamming to the laser semi-active homing guidance, aiming at a tunable laser generating nanosecond level pulse width, the invention provides the encoding of pulse width and pulse amplitude by directly clipping with an electro-optical switch; the phase difference generated by static double refraction is compensated by an orthorhombic KTP (potassium titanium oxide phosphate) crystal; the delay and the error can be reduced due to the synchronous control of a pockels cell power supply; the laser encoding, the pulse width encoding and the pulse amplitude modulation are combined with one another, so that the PAWM (puto amo window manager) encoding which not only can resist the laser angle deception jamming but also can resist the high repetition frequency jamming can be formed; and the method of high repetition frequency jamming resistance is improved on a guidance head, so that a novel laser encoding system can be formed, wherein the system is suitable for the aspects such as tracking, guidance, positioning, collimation, photo-communication APT (arbitrage pricing theory) technology, and photoelectronic warfare.

Data stream query mediation may utilize a query handler configured to receive a query from a stream application to be applied against a stream of data including multiple tuples representing events. A stream window manager may be configured to express the query in a specification which defines a window including a subset of the tuples, the specification defining content of the window as a range of the tuples having a range attribute over which the content is specified, defining when to update the window using a synchronization attribute specifying a movement of the window over time with respect to the content, and defining an evaluation of the content of the window using an evaluation attribute specifying when to perform the evaluation. A query translator may be configured to translate the query including mapping the range attribute, the synchronization attribute, and the evaluation attribute to a stream processing language of a data stream management system (DSMS), to thereby obtain a translated query. A DSMS mediator may be configured to provide the translated query to the DSMS for processing therewith.

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates seamlessly switching between graphics-processing units (GPUs) to drive a display. In one embodiment, the system receives a request to switch from using a first GPU to using a second GPU to drive the display. In response to this request, the system uses a kernel thread which operates in the background to configure the second GPU to prepare the second GPU to drive the display. While the kernel thread is configuring the second GPU, the system continues to drive the display with the first GPU and a user thread continues to execute a window manager which performs operations associated with servicing user requests. When configuration of the second GPU is complete, the system switches the signal source for the display from the first GPU to the second GPU.

A multi-window display device is provided which is capable of preventing interference with each other in displaying of two or more windows caused by a window control request from any one of two or more application programs. A window manager judges whether or not a window control request from the application program corresponding to any one of two or more windows being displayed on a display section is allowed to be executed, based on preset display priority of the application program that has made a window control request and, if a result of the judgement shows that the request is allowed to be executed, executes the window control request and preferentially displays the any one of two or more windows and, if the result of the judgement shows that the request is not allowed to be executed, neglects the window control request.

A window manager process hosts proxy window objects created by an application in a window manager display structure. A process in a device creates a local proxy view object within a window manager display structure for the window manager process. The process registers an identifier for a remote proxy window object which corresponds to an application display structure. The application controls processing of data used by the application. The process assigns the identifier for the remote proxy window object to the local proxy view object in the window manager display structure to create a composite display structure and renders the composite display structure to display an image on a display device. The image corresponds to the objects of the application display structure represented by the remote proxy window object. The window manager process controls rendering of the composite display structure.
