Title: Innovations of James A Cousens
Introduction
James A Cousens is a notable inventor based in Albuquerque, NM (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of digital mapping and memory systems. With a total of 3 patents, his work showcases innovative approaches to technology.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for generating a texture mapped perspective view." This invention provides a texture mapped perspective view for digital map systems. The system includes various apparatus for storing elevation and texture data, scanning projected view volumes, processing, generating planar polygons, and rendering images. The processing apparatus transforms the scanned projected view volume from object space to screen space and computes surface normals at each vertex of each polygon to modulate texture space pixel intensity.
Another significant patent is the "Address generator with variable scan patterns." This apparatus reads from a first addressable memory and writes into a second addressable memory. The first memory is logically arranged in a rectangular matrix and scanned at an arbitrary angle to produce multiple scan patterns. The second memory is also arranged in a rectangular matrix and is written into along parallel rows and columns. This invention is particularly useful for digital map display systems.
