An electronic bait box assembly for storing earthworms includes a box for containing earth and earthworms. A lid is removably attached to the box for closing the box. A voltage unit is coupled to the bait box and the voltage unit is in electrical communication with an interior of the box. Moreover, the voltage unit is placed in electrical communication with the earth that is positioned in the box. The voltage unit induces an electrical voltage through the earth when the voltage unit is turned on. In this way the voltage unit urges the earthworms to move upwardly in the earth thereby facilitating a user to remove the earthworms for fishing bait.

The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for transforming program source code using a rematerialization operation. The devices and methods may identify at least one hot spot with high register pressure in a program source code for an application and identify a plurality of live variables within the at least one hot spot. The devices and methods may group the plurality of live variables by a basic block that has contained a define or single use of the plurality of live variables. The devices and methods may build a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for each basic block that has a grouped plurality of live variables. The devices and methods may save the DAG as a candidate instruction to move in the program source code and may generate transformed program source code for the application by moving the candidate instruction.

Compiler sub expression directed acyclic graph (DAG) remat for register pressure

Examples are disclosed herein that relate to performing rematerialization operation(s) on program source code prior to instruction scheduling. In one example, a method includes prior to performing instruction scheduling on program source code, for each basic block of the program source code, determining a register pressure at a boundary of the basic block, determining whether the register pressure at the boundary is greater than a target register pressure, based on the register pressure at the boundary being greater than the target register pressure, identifying one or more candidate instructions in the basic block suitable for rematerialization to reduce the register pressure at the boundary, and performing a rematerialization operation on at least one of the one or more candidate instructions to reduce the register pressure at the boundary to be less than the target register pressure.

Pre-instruction scheduling rematerialization for register pressure reduction

Examples described herein generally relate to generating, from a listing of source code, a plurality of basic blocks for compiling into intermediate language, determining, for a first basic block of the plurality of basic blocks, first heuristics related to applying a first plurality of optimizations to the first basic block, determining, for a second basic block of the plurality of basic blocks, second heuristics related to applying a second plurality of optimizations to the second basic block, and applying, based on the first heuristics and the second heuristics, one of the first plurality of optimizations to the first basic block to schedule first instructions for the first basic block and one of the second plurality of optimizations to the second basic block to schedule second instructions for the second basic block.

Techniques for scheduling instructions in compiling source code

Examples described herein generally relate to capturing and executing graphics processing operations. A memory trap function can be activated to cause a graphics processing unit (GPU) to report memory accesses in executing graphics processing operations. Based on activating the memory trap function and for each of a sequence of executed graphics processing operations executed by the GPU, a sequence of memory accessing commands and associated portions of memory modified based on executing the sequence of executed graphics processing operations can be received. Each of the sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and associated portions of memory can be stored and provided to the GPU to emulate re-executing of the sequence of executed graphics processing operations by the GPU.

Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for receiving measurements from one or more inertial sensors (i.e. accelerometer and angular rate gyros) attached to a device with a camera or other environment capture capability. In one embodiment, the inertial measurements may be combined with pose estimates obtained from computer vision algorithms executing with real time camera images. Using such inertial measurements, a system may more quickly and efficiently obtain higher accuracy orientation estimates of the device with respect to an object known to be stationary in the environment.

Techniques are disclosed herein for allowing sharing of notes and ideas between electronic devices. The presence of a number of electronic devices is determined. A determination is made that the electronic devices are to be part of a shared workspace. A shared workspace is generated for the electronic devices. The shared workspace is displayed on a display screen of at least one of the electronic devices. The shared workspace that is displayed may be based on the capabilities of the electronic device. The shared workspace that is displayed may reflect the location of the electronic devices.

Smart notebook

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for displaying a first portion of a markup language document on a first device and displaying a second portion of the markup language document on a second device for interaction with the first portion (e.g., allowing a smart phone to control a video playing on a separate monitor). A markup language document can be created by a developer, where first and second portions of the document are delineated by a remote device tag. The remote device tag can be used to instruct a first device parsing the document to send the second portion to a second (e.g., remote) device. The first portion of the document can be rendered by the first device, and displayed on a display coupled with the first device; and a rendered version of the second portion can be displayed by a display coupled with second device.

Informed partitioning of data in a markup-based document

A computer system for locating real estate service providers by navigating an aerial image map of a geographic region. The system determines a search region corresponding to the geographic region by use of geospatial information associated with the geographic region. Once the search region is determined, the system searches a database for real estate service providers that are associated with the search region and that satisfy certain predetermined criteria.

Map-based search for real estate service providers

Systems and methods for unifying coordinate systems in an augmented reality application or system are disclosed. User devices capture an image of a scene, and determine a location based on the scene image. The scene image may be compared to cartography data or images to determine the location. User devices may propose an origin and orientation or transformation data for a common coordinate system and exchange proposed coordinate system data to agree on a common coordinate system. User devices may also transmit location information to an augmented reality system that then determines an a common coordinate system and transmits coordinate system data such as transformation matrices to the user devices. Images presented to users may be adjusted based on user device locations relative to the coordinate system.

Systems and methods for unifying coordinate systems in augmented reality applications

A method and apparatus for rendering the lighting of virtual objects in an augmented reality display. The method includes determining local and ambient light sources based on data provided by one or more light sensors. The light in the physical lighting environment is accounted for by attributing the light to local light sources and/or ambient light sources. A synthesized physical lighting environment is constructed based on the light characteristics of the local and/or ambient light sources, and is used in properly rendering virtual objects in the augmented reality display.

Augmented lighting environments

The following discloses antialiasing systems and methods. Information about one or more fragments or primitives in a pixel area may be dynamically stored. The stored information may include, for example, depth, color, location and coverage. The coverage and depth information may be tracked at a higher frequency across the pixel than the number of fragments or primitives. Fragments or primitives that enter into a pixel area may be compared with fragments or primitives that have been stored. The comparisons may be based on depth and coverage. Either the incoming fragment or the stored fragment may be deleted based on the comparisons. Information associated with fragments that are preserved may be sampled at any location associated with their coverage area of a pixel. Fragments or primitives that are not discarded may be preserved for a final resolve process, which may incorporate information available from neighboring pixel areas.
