Abstract:
In one embodiment, for a current block of a first frame of digital image data, a list of motion vector prediction information for the current block is populated with candidate motion vector prediction data that includes default motion vector prediction data. In another embodiment, at least a portion of a coded video bitstream is received and a merge flag for a current block in a current frame is decoded. After the merge flag is decoded, at least one merge candidate for the current block is determined.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a flexible, halogen-free, flame retardant composition. The composition includes from about 25 wt % to about 95 wt % of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU); from about 5 wt % to about 50 wt % of an olefin block copolymer (OBC); and from about 30 wt % to about 70 wt % of a flame retardant. The flame retardant is selected from resorcinol bis(diphenyl 5 phosphate) (RDP), bis diphenyl phosphate (BDP), bisphenol-A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BPADP), aluminum trihydrate (ATH), a nitrogen/phosphorus-based halogen-free flame retardant, epoxidized novolac resin, and combinations thereof. The composition requires no compatibilizer for the TPU and OBC. The composition finds application in wire and cable structures.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a low-temperature-resistant fluorine-containing elastomer formed through polymerization of the comonomers: 40-80 mol % 1,1-vinylidene fluoride, 2-10 mol % tetrafluoroethylene, 10-30 mol % perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether), and 1-10 mol % vulcanization monomer. The present invention further provides a preparation method of the fluorine-containing elastomer. In the present invention, on basis of a large number of experiments, the contents of the comonomers of the fluorine-containing elastomer are adjusted, so that the low temperature performance thereof is significantly improved, and the low-temperature retraction temperature TR-10

Abstract:
Techniques for implementing video encoding enhancements may increase video encoding efficiency. One of the techniques may involve the use of an exception value and a maximum index value in inter-prediction coding lookup table to enhance the combined coding of an inter-prediction direction and a reference frame index for a coding unit. Another of the techniques may include adaptively ordering the encoding of a split flag value and a skip flag value for a coding unit. An additional technique may include providing a uniform approach to adaptively combined code the coded block flag (CBF) values for transform or coding units of images that are used with the Residue Quad-tree (RQT) information to represent residue information.
