Abstract: A method and apparatus of Inter/Intra prediction for a chroma component performed by a video encoder or video decoder are disclosed. According to this method, a current chroma prediction block (e.g. a prediction unit, PU) is divided into multiple chroma prediction sub-blocks (e.g. sub-PUs). A corresponding luma prediction block is identified for each chroma prediction sub-block. A chroma prediction mode for each chroma prediction sub-block is determined from a luma prediction mode associated with the corresponding luma prediction block. A local chroma predictor for the current chroma prediction block is generated by applying a prediction process to the multiple chroma prediction sub-blocks using respective chroma prediction modes. In other words, the prediction process is applied at the chroma prediction sub-block level. After the local chroma predictor is derived, a coding block associated with the current chroma prediction block is encoded or decoded using information comprising the local chroma predictor.

Abstract: Improvements in an adjustable box and adapter are disclosed for mounting a junction box directly to a stud, between studs, and to a ceiling using an adaptor and adjusting the position of said junction box. The junction box can be secured to the adaptor using screws. Longitudinal slots on the adaptor allow the adjustment of the position of the junction box along the adaptor by loosening the screws. The screws can be tightened or loosened using the screwheads or attachments on the screws, thereby allowing the adjustment of the junction box from both within the junction box and outside the junction box.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for a video encoder that uses reference motion vectors (MVs) with reduced precision to generate predicted MVs. The video encoder receives a block of pixels of a video frame and generates a MV for encoding the block of pixels by motion compensation. The video encoder creates a reduced-precision MV by reducing a precision of the generated MV based on a precision reduction scaling factor. The video encoder also stores the reduced-precision MV in a MV buffer as a reference MV for temporal or spatial MV prediction.

Abstract: A method for a three-dimensional encoding or decoding system incorporating sub-block based inter-view motion prediction is disclosed. The system utilizes motion or disparity parameters associated with reference sub-blocks in a reference picture of a reference view corresponding to the texture sub-PUs split from a current texture PU (prediction unit) to predict the motion or disparity parameters of the current texture PU. Candidate motion or disparity parameters for the current texture PU may comprise candidate motion or disparity parameters derived for all texture sub-PUs from splitting the current texture PU. The candidate motion or disparity parameters for the current texture PU can be used as a sub-block-based inter-view Merge candidate for the current texture PU in Merge mode. The sub-block-based inter-view Merge candidate can be inserted into a first position of a candidate list.

Abstract: A heat dissipation structure with aligned carbon nanotube arrays formed on both sides. The carbon nanotube arrays in between a heat source and a cooler are used as thermal interface material extending and dissipating heat directly from a heat source surface to a cooler surface. In some embodiments, an adhesive material can be used to dispense around carbon nanotube arrays and assemble the heat dissipation structure in between a heat source and a cooler. In some other embodiments, carbon nanotube arrays are formed on at least one of a heat source surface and a cooler surface and connect them together by further growing. The carbon nanotube arrays can be exposed to the environment instead of being in between a heat source and a solid cooler, and can serve as fins to enlarge heat dissipation area and improve thermal convection.
